hi, friends. i’m a software engineer of 20 years & looking for my next role. most recently worked with full stack rust and decentralized identity. i’m looking for a remote role where i can do useful work. my network is tiny, so i’d appreciate some shares. #opentowork #remotework #rustlang ❤️

i think the ttrpg community needs more collaboration, specifically with me.

i write a lot of tiny things. any time i try to make something big, it’s just a tiny thing with bloat.

i am very bad at social media.

every idea i have. i like to convince myself everything i do is an art project so it doesn’t have to make sense or be good.

i work as a software eng. we are expected to use AI for our work. it does an alright job, but it’s shifted my job to more of a testing and documentation role while it does all the fun parts.

way back in the day, i was working on a traditional roguelike. i spent more time on animated ascii weather system than i did on anything fun or meaningful to gameplay. when i found out game dev wasn’t for me lol.

FLUSTER: a skirmish game about flirting. you get a heart if you flirt your way into a first kiss. first to three hearts win. your cuties can take one action each turn: compliment, comfort, tease, teach, confess, kiss. i am a bored man.

danny \ Briar @thorns-press.bsky.social · 08/03/2026
there should be a kissing quality stat and if yours is low it’s ok because higher stat kisses can teach you. 🥹

i don’t really like skirmish games, but making one has always sounded fun.
