Hey everyone, I'm Matt.

I wrote some things you may have heard about, mostly games - which I was told are neat. I also recently picked up graphic design, which has been pretty satisfying.

If you wanna read or see any of my works, @datasparrow.bsky.social's the ticket.

Let's keep in touch!

Working on a map for my Carapace X Mausritter home game.

The bugs in my setting are from the mysterious realm known as Whitehall—a land of marbled columns and bleached bone.

What will our mouse-scale adventurers find in these hallowed halls? Perhaps allies in their fight against Sabrina?

"Are there even any-" it doesn't matter. Banning the few trans athletes isn't the point. The point, from Trump's ban on trans people in government to Britain's bathroom ban to Newsom's sports ban, is to make sure everyone knows trans women are OTHER and to act accordingly to us in their daily lives.

more than "you should play bad games because a maligned game might be good" i would prefer if the positive contrarian dogma was "you should play games that genuinely interest you regardless of what other people think" because holy shit the former leads to a lot of turning your misery into Content
