Future Proof Plays: Button City - 2022/12/17
This was an adorable, light-hearted game. I'm relatively quiet during the stream because there wasn't a ton in the game that was... revelatory? But I'm particularly fond of the art direction and implementation.
This was part of my game studio's Future Proof Plays series of streams. Check out our upcoming schedule and our entire set of archives (including my partner's streams) over on YouTube. Follow me over on Twitch to watch my streams live.

On the 21st of December 2022 the Federal Council decided that non-binary, inter, agender and trans people will still have to choose between the binary genders and that there will not be a neutral sex entry.
According to the Federal Council, the reason for this is that the social requirements for the introduction of a third official sex have not been met. For a new sex model, a social discourse is needed first.
But it is about more than a discourse, it is about our existence and our (survival) life. WE EXIST!

DEFEND DRAG STORY HOUR IN NYC!
Help protect queer spaces and expression under threat from the far right!
The far right has placed a target on Drag Story Hours nationwide, and New York is no exception. A group of violent, loud bigots, who have repeatedly harassed and invaded these events in the city, is openly planning to disrupt the next Drag Story Hour, on Thursday, December 29, at the Jackson Heights Library in Queens.
Queer community members and allies will be there to show the fascists they are not welcome, but that kids and drag queens are.
Let's show NYC's unwavering support for Drag Story Hour and for queer and trans people, and make a safe, encouraging, and joyful welcome for kids and their grownups as they enter the library.
BE THERE:
Thursday 12/29 3pm
Jackson Heights Library
35-51 81st Street, Queens (7 train to 82nd Street)
3pm
Wear regular clothes and a mask
Bring rainbow swag, non-amplified noisemakers, musical instruments, joy, and love!

- factor in people not being on your schedule!!!
- give yourself buffer time before and after event to wind up and wind down for it. (this is a me one)
Victories
1. how do you measure a victory/accomplished a goal (again think about freebies too!)? What does it take for you to be satisifed?
2. How do you celebrate afterwards?
3. Take note of what worked, what didn't, what adjustments were made in the process
4. How does a victory impact the goals for the year? How does it contribute to your momentum?
5. Do you have a defined time or cycle during the year when you re-revaluate?
