One of my favorite role playing game ever is actually a little game developed by famous indie creator John Wick.
Cat: A Little Game about Little Heroes, is a game where you play as a cat to defend humanity against evil threats that are invisible to them: the Boggins. It's both epic, fun and super cute and is actually pretty simple. It can be easily played as a one-shot or as a campaign.
It's also really cheap, so I heavily recommend it!

I'm looking for photo transfer/management apps to replace my reliance on Google Photos. I tried Shoebox but it's not quite doing it for me as I can't easily share images from it. PhotoSync likewise is certainly doing what it's intended to, but it won't replace my need entirely. I don't mind using a couple apps - for exaple, photosync for the syncing bit and something else for organizing.

What I want is to be able to:
- back up photos from my phone so I can clear space
(This can be cloud based or to my pc)
- share photos with either a direct hotlink, copying the image, or with easy access to the file directory
- organise photos into albums or groups

Any recommendations? @switchingsocial I'd welcome your thoughts or boosts :3

Lake Retba in Senegal is a salt lake which is naturally bright pink like strawberry milkshake.

The colour comes from microbes which use a type of photosynthesis which evolved separately to the kind that plants use. The chemical machinery those microbes use is rhodopsin – the same stuff which is found in your retinas, allowing you to see.
