@games_overboard Yeah, for me ALT + rmb, mmb, or wheel/q/e don't do anything than what those keys/buttons would do normally.

[John Shulters @BlackStrawGames]

Can any TTS experts confirm the official keyboard controls for ALT modifiers don't actually work? I can't rotate a different axis, flip a different axis, or place card at the bottom of a deck. https://t.co/bxiPipt43e

@sedjtroll I love my Canon Pixma ip8720. I've bought it twice, and tho I'm sure there are newer models, I love this one. Can do 13x19, heavy cardstock no problem. And I use LD CLI-251XL replacement cartridges for much cheaper with no 3rd party problems. https://t.co/S4vWDUoKUi

If you're keen on skirmish/arena combat games, check out Prisma Arena. It has a really interesting combo system and amazing character customization (including a legacy-style level up system), and is very family friendly. https://t.co/Y6K15DUfrB

100 day language learning streak feels pretty good 😁 Staying put can be good for some things. And if anyone I know actually speaks German, I could use some real-world practice. Use this link if you'd like to explore a new language: https://t.co/TDb3a45unr

Hey, board gamers. This seems like a no-brainer (unless you own all these games already :) Check out the new Asmodee Humble Bundle, and consider putting in a little extra for charity! I know you've got some time to play games these days. https://t.co/CTePJkrEsW

@JasonDKingsley I try to do the typing heavy lessons at my computer. It's kinda fatiguing and error prone on my phone.

[John Shulters @BlackStrawGames]

@JasonDKingsley I've maintained my 84 day steak so far 😁. It's nice to get over the hump where things that seemed impossible are now merely challenging.

[John Shulters @BlackStrawGames]

@JasonDKingsley Yeah, I set the daily goal to their maximum, but I usually go over it a bit. I try to progress thru the leagues at a reasonable pace. I'm currently obsidian, only 1 more to go!

[John Shulters @BlackStrawGames]

@JasonDKingsley It's been great getting to know and work with you over the past few years. Getting to work on Spy Club was one of the formative experiences of my time in games. And I'm really glad you were able to visit us in Placerville well before everything shut down! Hope to see you soon!

It felt like now was a good time to update my portfolio for the first time in two years! If you want to see some of the 3D design & animation projects I've created in that time, feel free to browse the link below :) https://t.co/fbBe87CTFw

[John Shulters @BlackStrawGames]

of course, it now looks like they're sold out online, and I'm sure your local stores are closed...sorry to get you worked up for nothing :(

[John Shulters @BlackStrawGames]

LABO sets, today only, $20 each at Best Buy. I HIGHLY recommend buying at least one if you are a boardgame product designer or game designer making elaborate prototypes. Even if you don't own a Switch, you'll learn a TON about cardboard engineering! https://t.co/zha7QYJP7h

@EuroGamerGirl How was the Fiat? Sarah did the VWs.

I've been off social for a while, but now that you are spending so much time at home, I wanted to let you know I'm here if you need to chat about anything. I've worked from home for 17 years and have plenty of stories and tips to share. Reach out any time...

[John Shulters @BlackStrawGames]

Need a little chill? Calm's got your back today with a bunch of free resources. I've used the app for years and can highly recommend it. https://t.co/JkdFWF8bI7

Another great Jonny Pac game on its way. I've seen the "final" in person and it is beautiful! Check it out! https://t.co/U99HLAsokw
