Have Some Bones: Ossuary Is Out!
Unforgivably, I’m a day late, but Future Proof Games‘ Ossuary has been released! In case you haven’t visited the page or seen the trailer: The last thing you remember is receiving an unsatisfying answer. A plunge through the fundamental chaos takes you to a place of bones. Great power can be found within the Ossuary, but those who are not lying to themselves are lying to you. Ossuary is available as a downloadable title for Windows and is DRM-free.

I’ve started following some new and amazing folks in the last couple months, including Ashe Dryden, Julie Pagano, and Justine Arreche, who are probably the first folks I’ve followed who are specifically interested in social justice within the tech community/industry. Mutual following of these folks led to some fun discussions with a former colleague on considerations like, “How often can I call my colleagues out on *ist behavior and still get invites out to lunch?
