If you make games of any kind you should put a submission in here for the thing I run: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfoZtSYOxdNOba4LYSUZtkc9WKMYJTs5A2t4-FkZXi_Om04Fw/viewform
Most importantly, you don't have to be present at the show itself if you can send a PC build.
Leftfield shows anything from weird prototypes and art projects to commercial indie games. It says the deadline is today, but tbh, it's the weekend and a bank holiday, so I'm not going to be looking until Tuesday 👀

What's the cheapest way to pick up a phone with a notch while I'm in SF? I thought I'd be able to find a second-hand iPhone X, but the prices I'm seeing are as much as or more than a new iPhone XR.

it's the fifth day of 2019 and I think I've already read one of the best articles of the year https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/annehelenpetersen/millennials-burnout-generation-debt-work?utm_source=dynamic&utm_campaign=bffbbuzzfeedreader&ref=bffbbuzzfeedreader
It does not in any way respect your time, but at the same time I can't help but respect it.
Regarding last boost: I have really fond memories of playing Enigma ~15 years ago. What a variety of levels! https://obscuritory.com/puzzle/enigma/

found a legit incredible blog about obscure electronic games. beautifully observed write-ups of tons of games i've never encountered, such as this 1988 game by an afro-caribbean woman about subvertng and overthrowing a slave plantation:
Freedom: Rebels in the Darkness
https://obscuritory.com/strategy/freedom-rebels-in-the-darkness/
or a 2500+ level puzzle game that is almost literally impossible to complete:
Enigma

just great
Is "nuanced on alt" the equivalent sin to "horny on main"?
