Such a huge loss 😢

As someone who loves hand pies, the propensity of pizza places with Pie in their name is continuously disappointing. I find it baffling that hand pies haven't caught on in the US too

Yes and yes. There's a tree in our neighborhood that we call the potato chip tree because it's absolutely infested with goldfinches all the time

Know your rights!

Hugely prefer the concepts first, but I think I might be in the minority

I'm going to this show in a couple weeks! Very excited

Player board for Chicken Fried Dice

Chicken Fried on a Fridaaaaay night...
Introduced some folks last night and everyone loved it!

In a universe where a game's rating matters immensely for its subsequent sale, I would really line up those who give a low score to a board game arguing "it's not my type of game." Okay, and that's the game's problem because...?

Me: Ey it's birds!

Photo of people listening to me pitch Trickadee at our booth at pax unplugged. One person is holding their hand up to their ear to hear me better

Photographic evidence of me losing my voice from talking about Trickadee all weekend.

there is almost no feedback I will reflexively ignore as a game developer but “you shouldn’t name something X because people don’t know that word” is one of them. oh no! You might learn a new word! God forbid you take away a piece of knowledge from a game that’s not a brand of gun or some shit lol

A picture of me with all my copies of Trickadee ready for the Night Market to start.

I wasn't planning on doing the Indie Night Market, but when there was an open table, how could I not? It was a wonderful event and my only regret is not being able to make it to the other tables!

Okay everyone, we need to help get this across the finish line. I'm doubling up my pledge. These games deserve to exist, and I'm confident I will have no trouble finding homes for the extra copies.

@cornellbirds.bsky.social I have a Merlin feature request. Can y'all show me the bird data I already downloaded while you're downloading the updates on the background? Opening Merlin and having to wait over a minute to search for a bird is really getting in the way of actually using the app
