(Get what you put out there meaning Iโ€™m tired of people ragging on it having never posted their own ad, but also this is corny and you donโ€™t deserve it)

I believe you get what you put out there when it comes to Lex but for a site based on newspaper personal ads for lesbian hookups why do there have to be so many hostile virgins and poindexters. Lex needs gunshots

If you enjoyed our Sonic 2006 Club report a few issues back (funland.itch.io/funland-zine...) you should consider donating to @okfox.bsky.social's fundraiser! You think this chaos is powerful? You haven't seen nothing yet.

Single panel comic that looks kinda like itโ€™s on newsprint. Triangle shaped character talks to Diamond shaped character, saying: โ€œHe said he was born to kill. That itโ€™s all his hands were made for.โ€

A page that looks like a scan from an old game magazine. A circular graphic contains a watercolor illustration of an enthusiastic wormlike dinosaur thing with a smiling yellow star and a worried looking blue diamond. A box in the lower half contains an illustration of a treasure box with a funny face, decorated with white crosses. In front of it are a green potion, a gold coin, and a silver key.
There are also 2 game screenshots. One is of a title screen, featuring the dinosaur like worm, and one is of the same character standing in a little stonework house before a blue spheroid face, which is speaking.

The text on the page is one continuous statement and does not relate to the images. It says:
Header: Wondering how young Iโ€™ll die.
Featured text, next to round illustration: We now take it as granted that the western empires will collapse.
Title screen screenshot: In a real sense, it has already happened.
House and dialog screenshot: we were born into a dead world.
Text below screenshots: and now decay begins. We, having prepared all our lives for a future that can never arrive, feel lost. We must go on living. But what will life be, and how long can it last? America has become a nation of endless plagues

looks like a photo of a crt screen. Displays a drawing that looks like a weird game. The upper left square is a white room with a door in the wall. A woman and a man with a triangular head are walking towards the door. 

The upper right square contains concentric squares. In the center is a black square with a drawing of a white hand in it. In the lower left is a white infinity symbol, or a mask for glaring eyes. It is ambiguous. The lower right square is a white box containing writing that says: โ€œthis way.โ€

What this underscores is the sheer danger of market consolidation in gaming. While companies like Valve and Epic do not legally have to carry a game, to not do so is functionally a death knell for that game on the PC; Santa Ragione has said it threatens the studioโ€™s continued existence. This is not equivalent to a theater chain declining to carry a movie; this is two (mostly one) American companies more or less deciding what content is commercially viable across most of the world, in ways that are somehow more vague and opaque than the MPAA. This is a hegemony of American prudishness, applied globally, incoherently, unevenly, and unseriously. Anybody responsible for these decisions would be vaporized in seconds by a Pinku movie from the 1970s, and if a single person in this chain of command has an arts degree they are pretending they donโ€™t for the sake of an ill-defined idea of business. Horses cannot be the ceiling for what is artistically and commercially possible in games, because otherwise we are in deep horseshit.

Chris Person takes a look at Horses, "the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form" (quoted from the article blurb).
