Such a nice combination of games that have inspired us in the development of All Will Rise. My sweet baby TYRANNY especially. Forever sad that that's not likely to ever get a sequel @obsidianent.bsky.social

Even if gaming is usually not your cup of tea. (I don’t even have a game controller) Remember this is a Creative and heatwarming project. It is Sunday and international womens day. So maybe β€œThe evangelist” is your choice to make today. Or any of the other pledges.

Now whenever something especially cool and auspicious happens @meghna.bsky.social and I refer to 'jumping Buddhas'

Infrastructures of mysteryβ€Šβ€”β€Šscaffolding the wonder of existence What if society would recognize and support the value of connecting to life’s mystery?

Ahh get into it, the perfect game it sounds like! I finished it and then a Buddha statue fell from my book case and smashed straight through my laptop screen. Auspicious.

it doesn't even have to be western zodiac!!!
