A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Insufficient Adjectives is about the labels we use to describe ourselves, and how those labels help us find our tribe. It's also about delivering packages to stores.

This game was commissioned by Playcrafting for the 2019 Play NYC Convention. Five 'Graffiti Games' made by LGBTQ+ developers in NYC were created in 6 weeks and debuted first at Play NYC at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Manhattan.
How To Play - Hover over trucks to view clues as to their contents. Drag road tiles from the bottom of the screen into the city to help guide the truck to the correct store, based on what you think the truck is carrying.

The concept is great - the pace is horrifying when it comes to the RNG of the tiles. Would love to see a way to pause the game or to even exit the game without having to use ALT+F4
I used a mouse on Windows, and found the concept very interesting, and I liked the puzzle aspect of determining which store the items went to, but I completely failed at finding the correct tiles quickly enough to do any good with what I worked out, which was very frustrating. I found it particularly daunting when I had worked out the correct destination for one truck, only for another to be created on a short-timeframe crash course with it when it was halfway there. I would have much preferred the option to do the exploration of labels minus the pipe/traffic/flow mechanic.
I really really liked this concept but the UI was so frustrating. I hated having to sift through the options to find the one I wanted, especially when the tiles couldn't rotate and there were multiple of the same tile on the shortlist. This was unnecessarily complex when the vague clues and managing the trucks was enough of a challenge. Maybe if the tiles were consistent, so you always knew where to find the straight or the x?
I used the cursor so perhaps a different input had a better experience.
I'm on Mac, there doesn't seem to be a way to Quit the game, especially when in full screen. Hitting ESC does nothing, and there doesn't seem to be a way to pause either. I eventually figured out R exits to the menu, but there is still no way to Quit the game entirely. I had to Alt+Tab out of it, then quit from the dock. Otherwise this was fun, though I did find some of the adjectives weren't obvious which business I should be heading to. Fun trying to figure it out! The last on board mac os.
I really like the concept, but it's a tad frustrating to play a few things that would help IMHO include..
1. A clear chime when a new truck shows up.
2. A way to speed up time.
Love the ideas! Might have to revisit this one and add some more features :)
When it comes to video conferencing on a Mac, Apple seems frustratingly in the dark. The company that made it such a priority nearly 20 years ago with the iSight camera, and brought video calls to our collective consciousness on phones with FaceTime, seems content to sell expensive computers with frustratingly awful webcams, year after year.
Just as annoying as the lackluster hardware is the fact that Apple doesn't give users any built-in control to improve quality themselves. There's no System Preferences adjustment for the FaceTime camera on a Mac. If the video app you're using doesn't have its own controls, you're out of luck.
All hope is not lost, though. Wether you're using third-party webcam hardware or Apple's built-in FaceTime camera, you have options, if you're willing to invest a bit of money in an app.
Try the Webcam Settings app
There are several apps out there that let you change the settings on your Mac webcam. One of the more frequently mentioned options is iGlasses. We find it has a lot of great features, but it's hard to recommend. First, it's rather expensive at $20. Second, it creates a 'virtual webcam' which works fine with some apps (like newer version of Zoom) but not with FaceTime, Photo Booth, or newer versions of Skype.
A better solution is probably the Webcam Settings app, which you can grab for $7.99 in the Mac app store. It works fine on macOS Big Sur and Apple Silicon macs (through Rosetta), and directly controls features of your webcam, so it works with nearly every app.

You can adjust exposure time, aperture, brightness, contrast, zoom, backlight compensation, focus, and lots more—depending on the hardware features of the camera you're adjusting. You can save these settings as quick presets, too. Webcam Settings sits up in your menu bar for quick access, and doesn't consume much in the way of resources.
It's frustrating to shell out money for features that probably should be found in Apple's system preferences, but with a little fiddling around you can really improve the look of your webcam.
Check your webcam maker's software

If you've got an external USB camera (which we highly suggest if you do lots of remote learning or work, because Apple's built-in cameras are so bad), you should check your camera maker's website for any free software it offers.
You were probably able to just plug in your camera and have it work with Zoom and FaceTime and Skype and Teams and such, but installing the drivers may give you better control.
Logitech's G Hub software, for example, is the hub for all Logitech's gaming gear, including webcams. Or you might want to pop over to the support site and download the company's Camera Settings app, which will let you tweak settings on all Logitech webcams.
Ultimately, the right thing would be for Apple to recognize the critical role webcams play in modern computer use and build in camera hardware on par with front-facing iPhone cameras. This should be accompanied by System Preferences controls to tweak their settings. Until that time, you'll have to spend a bit of money, either on a paid app or an external webcam.
