I want to reiterate how thankful I am for the Kickstarter support to make new FRIDAY NIGHTS.
It wouldn’t have happened without you.

As reference, last week’s “Wes Anderson episode” has thus far made $286 from YouTube ad revenue.

Internet creation purely from ad-rev is impossible.
So, thank you.

The vatican needed a latin word for tweet, because the pope tweets. Or tweeted, I suppose, given the whole dead or dying situation. Anyway, they call them breviloquia (s breviloquium) which is honestly a great word even tho it’s not very brief itself. Given its nature and etymology I think we should be able to use it platform-independently and apply it to toots, skeets and even Truths as well. Anyway thank you for reading this breviloquium.

Incredible thank you to @Texan_Reverend for all the utterly abhorrent shit he has to see in order to keep this place safe and positive for kind.social users.

@ForceDyad TTS is a mixed bag. Pros: tons of mods in the Steam workshop so you can play just about any game you want. Cons: TTS is mostly a physics engine. It's on you to learn how to do things like put a card on the bottom of a deck, and sometimes you knock over pieces while taking your turn. You can literally move other player's pieces and flip face-down cards. I find that games take longer to play on TTS because of the clunky controls. I'm not a fan of TTS but it's the only option sometimes.
