About 4 years ago I wrote my first piece on @caniplaythat.com for Craniofacial Acceptance Month.

I usually post it again each year as the message is still relevant. People with a facial difference are more than the harmful trope of a scary villain or sad backstory.

Gaming with a Facial Difference

Video games are a great escape from real life, but having a facial difference is something you don’t escape while gaming.

VOID_SHIFT is out (digitally)! It's a solo deckbuilder that takes like, I don't know, half an hourish to roll through a job. 30 cards to assemble a 15 card deck, 6 job cards that comprise what you're doing.

This is how we're doing so far! The TL;DR is, a Social Insurance issue prevented me from taking a loan, and tuition + all the books and supplies has been expensive. If you've got a coin to spare for this trying-hard-to-be-a-paralegal witcher, do toss one my way. If not, signal boosting is golden.

Do you like mechs? Do you like when lesbians love each other to the point of murder? Do you love being forcibly feminized and shoved into screaming metal in order to commit atrocities in the name of some company?

Do you also like when people write straight into layout?
