Add info for Twin Cities Playtest to the site, on it's own page, in the main menu, and the blurb on the home page.

Here is the copy Mark wrote for the playtest even on discord:

:video_game: Twin Cities Playtest

A new online-only event, every third Wednesday, 6-9pm CT, for live testing of in-development games. Sessions are streamed to Twitch, where anyone can watch, and sign up to play next!

Players don’t download builds and do not need a streaming setup. Devs only need to send an existing build to us. Games are hosted on a server running Parsec, a low-latency remote desktop service for games, which can even support “local” multiplayer titles.

Developers! Want your game tested? Contact @Peter Yang - ZettoVyker. Once on the schedule, you'll send builds to @Mark LaCroix.

Players! Instructions to participate:

Before the event: • Create a Parsec account: https://parsecgaming.com/signup • Install Parsec: https://parsecgaming.com/downloads/

During the event: • Post in #events-chat letting us know your Parsec username (and your IRL name if it’s different from your Discord nickname). • Open Parsec and click the Friends tab. Select Add Friend, type in igdatc, and send us a friend request.

When it’s your turn: • Mute your browser or close the Twitch stream. We don’t want audio feedback! • You'll be given access to the Event Stage voice channel, join that now! NOTE: If you’re not muted, your voice will be live on Twitch. • Once you see an option in the “Computers” tab in Parsec to connect to OWLBOX, click that! • After your request is approved, the game will take over your Parsec window and you're ready to play!

Players: Be willing to take notes/type out your comments for the developer. It's valuable intel! Be honest but be kind: unfinished games aren't yet finished!

Developers: Be present for questions and be open to constructive (and otherwise) criticism and feedback. Remember, the player is doing you a favor, and they know what they're talking about!

This is done. As predicted, the nav does now wrap, even at full browser window width. (We should create a new issue for thinking about what to do there, probably.)
