Sign Language Video Game

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

I have recently been informed of a remarkable video game under development. The hero, a Mouse named Quill, will apparently incorporate American Sign Language into her communication with the player.

I think this is a rather brilliant idea, as it not only has the potential to help education (and reaching out to people), but it also fits with the world building. The mouse likely would not be able to pronounce English clearly. That was already a given in the game. However, hand-signs that are an actual language seem to flow smoothly.

What are your thoughts?

New Star Wars Pics!

Hi!

There are new pictures from the upcoming Star Wars movie!

One of my personal favorites (yes because it’s fluffy) is “Chewbacca and the Porgs.” I mean, just look at it. Isn’t it adorable?! (And doesn’t it have a faint bit of Klingon / Tribble-ness?)

Anyway. Have a lovely day!

I needed to kill FB, and I felt bad about it

Hi!

Just recently, something happened, and my interwebz started to slow. I think there was something on my Facebook page, because the browser popped up with a “page not responseive, do you want to kill it?” type question. (Paraphrased.)

And so, that’s the story of how I killed Facebook.

Sorry.

GISHWHES 2017 is happening and has great commandments

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hi!

So. There’s this thing called “GISHWHES”: the “Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen”. It’s been happening every year for the past few years. This is its seventh year. It’s happening right now, and it’ll be going on for another few days. (I don’t participate, but I’m aware of others who do.)

And it has fantastic “commandments” to go along with it. They’re worth reading.

Have a lovely Tuesday!

Darths and Droids is updating again!!

Hi!

So, for those of you not aware, Darths and Droids finished Episode 6 on June 6.

Fortunately, they have just started Rogue One! And it looks like it should be a fun way of doing things. It looks like our favorite players are going to be recounting their adventure.

So, yep! Go check it out. Because Darths and Droids is fantastic.

Have a lovely Monday! (If possible.)

Remarkable Kickstarter

Greetings, readers!

I was recently informed of an interesting new Kickstarter. It is for a toy called “Algobrix”.

The premise is to teach kids coding, tangibly. The campaign explains it far better than I can; you may want to check it out.

Have a happy Sunday!

I made a thing!

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hi!

I made a thing!

So. Background. A favorite author of mine, Brandon Sanderson, has a book with a marvelous one-scene “character”. It is a stick. Who is very adamant about being a stick. (Its only line is “I am a stick.”)

Other background. I recently discovered Tunisian/Afghan crochet, which makes it easier to incorporate designs in the stitching.

So, I made a fan art thingy.

It was fun.

(No, I’m not entirely sure what I’m going to do with it yet. But I’m sure there will be something!)

So, yup!

An adamant stick, crocheted.

I AM A STICK.
