I got @descartez 's permission to share the #textBased, #singlePlayer version of his #game that I made, so I got a domain and SSL set up for it, and you can play it here:
It's card-based #tabletop game called Night Hike about getting lost on a hike at night, discovering a body killed by a monster, and trying to survive the night while the monster lurks around every corner!
It's super hard to win and takes luck, but the theme is hard to resist!
Ok, programming languages, I understand that *technically* 1.76999999999994 is the same as 1.77, but when I specifically ask for a number rounded to 2 places, I'm looking for literally 1.77
Why is this so hard? Why are numbers so stupid?
If anyone spots an #Amaroq clone that doesn’t disclose its source please let me know and/or report it to Apple for being in violation of MPL 2.0. Apparently there’s been a resurgence in dubious Amaroq lookalikes. Thanks 💕
If you see two or more #Amaroq apps on the store, the one that has the most release history is the real one. 👍 Look for the doggo 🐺
If you accidentally downloaded a scam version, I cannot guarantee what it’s doing under the hood. I suggest revoking access to the app *immediately*.
send my your itchio links
Wireless tech be like
I'm so tired 😴
Fml it's the last day of the weekend and I keep thinking about work
Stooooooppp, brain!
@Alamantus My answer is yes. Putting the description in the toot is better than not having one at all.

Oh man I really wish y'all would #caption some of these hilarious #memes so I could boost them.
It's easy! When you add an #image (any image) to a toot, click the bottom of the image and add text saying what's in it. Some #Mastodon clients also support this, though how they do it is up to the client—in my experience, tapping the image will usually give you the opportunity to caption it.
You can also describe the image in the toot itself, if that works for that toot! #MastoHelp
Federated is world chat and Local is your guild, got it
pinafore fans (or fans of single column social media experiences), you can now access a local version of @nolan 's alternate mastodon ui here: https://pinafore.cybre.space/
Friends at large who require vision assistance, is describing an image within a toot an acceptable substitute for image descriptions/alt-text?
I really want to use Tootdon as my main Mastodon app again, but it inexplicably /still/ doesn't have the ability to add alt-text to images 
Whoa the @tootdon app finally got an update?? Maybe it can do picture alt text now??? Brb gonna check
Ok, I was going to write a how-to guide to Mastodon, but someone already did exactly what I was going to write, with better pictures then I was going to use:

At least one person offered to send me a few bucks if I took the time to write it, so um, yeah, send Kev the money instead.
It's The Pack!
My wife's parents' #dogs on the left and my good #pups on the right.
The two in the middle pulled on the leash THE ENTIRE TIME we were at the #DenverPetExpo 😜
We went to the #DenverPetExpo and they had this really cool lure course for your #dogs to play with, and HOO BOY Peekaboo went NUTS for this thing. And she's SO FAST! Every dog in the vicinity was barking and trying to get in there to chase the thing lol
Enjoy a video of her catching the lure!
(For the curious, the lure course is by #SwiftPaws, and their pre-ordering a home system for like $250, delivering in December)
