#lithophane has come up a few times recently for projects so I decided to try it. I just used a white petg filament I already had to see if it would work. Turned out pretty good for my first try!

If you are wondering why I would upvote the American soldier posing with kids, most of the comments were speaking to the truth of what happened in El Salvador in the 80s. It's not cool. But it is a good opportunity to educate people on what happened.

[René Dufour-Contreras @ChicoPacoPancho]

Was browsing reddit and saw a couple hot posts on r/oldschoolcool that basically tell my origin story when they came up right next to each other. I am a decendant of a refugee from El Salvador and I was born in 88 on the Canadian prairies.

More Sask. game dev news. The developers of Radio General have a new game coming called Kaiju Wars that takes inspiration from the Godzilla movies. It's already getting a lot of attention in the gaming world. https://t.co/4mSDGYxGzR #yxe

#SK's healthcare system collapsing. So many people dying. Delta surging, no end near. Thanksgiving coming FAST.

Yet, we have NO gathering restrictions. NO TTI. NO press conference. No NOTHING.

I am numb right now. I'm so frustrated, embarrassed, sad, and angry. Ugh.

Why is it so hard for me to accept that someone likes a game I worked on? #IndieGameDev
