Follow only if you want to see the occasional process video of a giraffe eating ice cream. 🍨🦒 …oh and TTRPG layout stuff.

Mike 🥞 Rieman@twopancakes· Apr 3

It’s fun looking back at process videos and remembering “no, that doesn’t work”, “nope, not this either”, and “whelp, time to start over”.

Mike 🥞 Rieman@twopancakes· Apr 3
