Let's try this again now that we're part of the crowd. Hey, videogame writers of Bluesky, have you played Roadwarden? It's the first game I've seen with an open-world narrative that's primarily text-based. Like reading a novel while playing a videogame. 1/2

Hey BlueSky! Which severed head best describes how you're feeling right now? Pixel Art

How are you feeling today? You have seven options. Option A is a cone-headed bald man with four literal eyes. Option B is a suave gentleman with striped orange pompadour. Option C is a bald old man with a goatee. Option D is fabulous and stunning. She has arrived. Option E is a woman with dark eyeshadow and a severe mohawk. Option F is a gentleman with handlebar mustache and mutton chops. Option G is a loopy-looking man with something metallic plugged into his head.
