Two smiles
When I need distraction I sometimes ego-google (ego-ogle?) for "volity". We're winning enough mentions outside of the Known Volity Cloud to make this worthwhile now. I just saw someone with a name I didn't recognize casually plug Volity (in the same breath as VASSAL and Zillions of Games) in rec.games.design. Yay.
Shoot, I can't find it now. On my friendsfriends page this morning there was a flyer for a revue of various MC-style musicians somewhere, and the list of non-headlining performers was wonderful, particularly "MC MCMC" and "MC XYZ". It was like a fake ad from Mad Magazine or something, and they were just cracking some corny jokes to fill space. But they're apparently actual artists! RESPECT.
Oh, a third smile that local conversation just reminded me of: Austin the Volity Hacker debuted the alpha of his Hearts game yesterday, and it's great! It needs a lot of work still but it's more done than not, and several of us had fun playing against each other and his bots. This is the thing that's been giving my Perl libraries a real workout - most of the Volity work being done by others uses Zarf's Python libs instead - so I have two big reasons to love this. I can't wait to see it finished!
