@godlessmom Well, it's not so much a "side hustle" as a "vanity / cultural awareness project on which I'll never recoup my expenses", but I made a card game about Samoan fireknife dancing:

@htdrake, rolling her eyes while reading another romance novel: "Oh God, and of course he smells like #$%@ing sandalwood!"

On the level up screen, there are tabs for things like "Inventory" and "Heroic Deeds".
The tab for "Morality" is, appropriately, grayed out.
So, with the Fediverse being all open source and all, someone could conceivably create a widget that shows how many times you've tooted, displayed as a rolling mechanical counter: the mastodometer.

In 2023 we're going to do a #BoardGamesAToZ challenge.
There's a new letter every two weeks, starting with A on Jan 1. During that fortnight, we'll play at least one game that starts with that letter.
(Yes, we have all the letters covered in our collection. Digits are spelled out, so 7 Wonders is filed under S.)
Who's with us?

1. We did not, surprisingly, lose power.
2. @htdrake worked from home.
3. Reviewed my journals for the last four months.
Giving Warhammer 40,000 Inquisitor - Martyr a try.
Sadly, the field for character name is two characters too narrow for "Edgelord Grimdark".

Overheard: "I'm just saying the apocalypse is going to smell FANTASTIC."
@Benjamin You've probably landed by now, but this would probably work on the tray tables:
The Mind would also work.
@trinsec Aer and The Swapper look interesting. I think I had heard about The Swapper before.
Carto, Delete, Divide By Sheep, Entangle, and Hexcells all look like things I'd like to play on my phone, but alas they're not available for Android. On a related note, have you done Monument Valley?
@trinsec Ooh, I haven't heard of any of those. I'll take a look -- thanks!
@Onidotmoe@mastodon.social I tried that; can't remember why we gave up.
@trinsec Ooh, a shit-ton of reading is a big red flag. I can't stand wandering around for two minutes between bland paragraphs and trying to keep track of dozens of characters. I can't remember playing a game where the story was the good part.
Give me a puzzle where the complexity is emergent. Portal. Heat Signature. Magnum Opus.
@kims There are also logistical behind-the-scenes volunteer jobs where you can help the neediest without being on the front lines.
Divinity: Original Sin II certainly *looks* pretty, and I think there's a rich game in here, but I'm having trouble summoning the will to watch the hours of tutorials I'll need to go through to survive the first nontrivial combat.
I'm willing to read a rulebook for a tabletop game, but I want a video game to introduce things gradually. Let me learn by playing with the first three concepts or controls for a bit before telling me about the next forty.
