During the great Twitter migration in the fall of 2022, there was a lot of confusion, people were building normalcy with their new accounts, #Mastodon servers were crashing due to the onslaught of new users and mitigating the new server loads took its toll, and it was a bit frustrating at times.
I used to play the games on other social media sites and I really missed that. I desired that moment of peace and distraction from the chaos of life. To get, and use, my mind on other things.
So, on Nov 16, 2022, on my Masto.AI account, I decided to start the one game per 9pm hashtag games. Quickly we had players, and I had already decided to spin up my own server, so a week or so later, the official game account was setup on my server oldfriends.live.

Last year, players posted over 100,000 game plays and so far, we have done over 1100 games, mostly one per night.
Thank you Paul. Amazing how much joy, community with strangers and welcome relief from the world you created with the game. And so cool to see how it’s grown over the years. #HashTagGames
