@Cephalofair Except we know what's inside the cave. 😭

@wisegoldfish Congratulations on going full-time, Matthew! I'm so glad that it's going well for you!

@mattwolfe What kind of weird math is this?

[Alvin Chen 🏳️‍🌈 @Pwappy]

@rf_seattle @LudiCreations The goals are pretty challenging, but it becomes more of an optimization battle with just two.

What's happening in India right now is a nightmare. It's hard to talk about but my uncle, cousins and other family members have all gotten covid. I just found out another passed away yesterday. It's devastating.

@AaronMesburne @eric_lang @Slift @NJekich @fanfactories @victoriacana @AlexUboldi Thank you so much, Aaron! I'm mostly invisible relative to the other awesome designers you mentioned!

[Alvin Chen 🏳️‍🌈 @Pwappy]

@fertessa @eric_lang Oh, that's so kind of you both! I'm usually not that active on Twitter, but this was a great reason to drop by. ❤️

We are excited to announce that our next CoLab game will be VERDANT - a puzzly spatial card game about houseplant collection, curation, and care with gorgeous illustrations by @beth_sobel! Check out the first card images! Which of your favorite houseplants do we need to include!?

Yesterday, @LudiCreations launched "So, You've Been Eaten." by @Scott_Almes. I was mostly involved early in its development (it used to be a solo game), but it's turned into a neat dice-management game for 0-2 players. https://t.co/XYskdM5F0W

@jonathanhliu I discovered my love for calamansi juice at a conference in Singapore. So refreshing! You can buy sweetened calamansi juice (like lemonade) at Asian markets, as well as frozen juice for cooking.

@annamaria_jp I hope you get service restored soon! My area seems okay at the moment.

[Alvin Chen 🏳️‍🌈 @Pwappy]

@annamaria_jp Boo! It's crazy how dependent on the Internet I've become.

[Alvin Chen 🏳️‍🌈 @Pwappy]

@jonathanhliu @ZenobiaAward Yeah, they also deleted a tweet in the thread. Really, @annamaria_jp deserves credit for calling them out. I guess I'm tired of gaslighting at this point for some reason...

[Alvin Chen 🏳️‍🌈 @Pwappy]

Hi, @ZenobiaAward. It feels counter to your stated mission to have a featured publisher knowingly promoting someone using an Asian pseudonym. It seems like an easy thing to disassociate and find a replacement.

[Alvin Chen 🏳️‍🌈 @Pwappy]

I feel like this might be of personal interest to actual Asian designers like @AlexUboldi @fanfactories @SenFoongLim @smooxchen @tatewu1 @tonymakesgames @VictoriaCana @BrotherMingGame... And reviewers? @ithayla @jonathanhliu @425suzanne @MeepleLady @MeepleU @beforeyouplay_
