I make videogames! I do it from Boston which is nicer than you think and definitely has nothing to prove to you. Working on Vortex Siege, a co-op CCG-roguelike game with town management elements. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3029050/Vortex_Siege/

A meme showing Alanis Morissette happy from the music video for Ironic and saying "Me, knowing that I have 10,000 spoons." The other panel shows her looking upset in the music video for You Oughta Know, saying "Me, realizing that all I need is a knife, so the marginal utility of spoons is zero."
Empty shelves at a Bed Bath and Beyond that is about to close.
Roadmap for the game Vortex Siege consisting of four phases which each contain circular progress bars for each planned area of work.
The alien from the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode who speaks only in metaphors saying "clavicular mid jestergoon, his cortisol spiked!"

A collectible card game style battlefield with a history log of actions taken in the top left corner, showing icons and card illustrations to depict what happened.
Video showing a radial map layout organized into arcs or slices that light up when hovered. Spaces with enemies show an animated arrow leading to the center when hovered.

A digital collectible card game user interface, showing a player avatar, a hand of cards in the bottom center, a deck of cards at the bottom right, and a discard pile in the bottom left. On the left side of the field is an energy meter. In the center are a variety of small cards with different illustrations. The enemy avatar and energy are shown at the top of the screen.

The head and neck of an undead being, with a cybernetic eyepatch and armor visible around its neck. Its other eye is red and apparently high-tech in nature.

A network-graph based map view. The player clicks a button with a "play" icon several times, after which a menu appears asking the player to choose a color, with descriptions of each color. After that, a placeholder icon with a number appears on the map. The player moves to the icon and clicks on it, after which an event window pops up describing a strange and disturbing encounter with supernatural forces. The player chooses to make a bargain with the forces (clicking a button), and the outcome is explained, after which the player leaves the event (by clicking another button).

Shows a tech tree in a video games with two radial series of branches. When moused over, each node in the tech tree displays a tooltip describing what it does. In the video, nodes are clicked to demonstrate activating items in the tech tree. Then, the player goes back to the main screen, clicks the build menu, and shows the buildings now available for construction.
