I was thinking about why I don’t use Zelle to pay my friends, since it’s a service offered directly by my bank (BECU), rather than an intermediary. I compared the same flow (“pay a frequent recipient $5”), and it was 6 taps and 30 seconds with BECU’s app, versus 3 taps and 6 seconds with Cash.

Very excited that we’ve just announced the game I’ve been working on for nearly four years — Spirit Crossing! It’s a cozy multiplayer game for mobile that aims to help people build positive connections online.

Art #1405 "A Time to Rest"

A little fan art for #wanderstop. It's been a while since I've fallen in love with a game. It's lovely, and it's needed. Thank you, @ivyroadgames.bsky.social 💚

Art #1424 “Juniper”

A little embroidery I made several years ago 💚

#WA residents:

HB 1038 is a bill that wants to prohibit gender affirming care for trans kids. You can leave a comment to your legislator to let them know you oppose the bill that clearly will hurt a marginalized minority that is already in such a vulnerable position: app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/1038

I guess I should introduce Bluesky to Noodles & Tots, who are very happy with the recliner I just bought. #CatsOfBluesky #Cats

"Sacred Gate"

I painted this a while ago, apparently finished it, but never posted it? Weird.

Anyway, painted in Photoshop.
Also hallo, Blue Sky. 💚

Yet another day where I wonder if I should just be (would be happy being) a systems / engine / middleware programmer. 👀

The struggle with migrating to new social media is that I don’t know what to post, just like on the old.

All my rants are tempered by a second read, don’t know what technical thing ppl would care about, queer shitposting feels like appropriation, and nobody’s consented to the flood of cat pics. 🤷‍♂️

✨ Do you use Unreal Game Sync and want fancy badges, build break notifications, votes, & comments? Use RUGS, the efficient, easy-to-deploy service with optional authentication, instead of Epic's IIS-based metadata server! ✨

Go check it out at github.com/jorgenpt/rugs and let me know what you think!
