We make Shadows Over Loathing, West of Loathing, Kingdom of Loathing (still going strong!) and are working on yet more Loathing.

The games are back to full price in case you were waiting to make a purchase so that you could give us more money so we can keep making more Loathing!

Taylor Swift announces next album title: The Queen in Yellow. She told Variety: "A few years back I came across this amazing play and I was so inspired. It's been living in my head for years. I even dream of it, of the city in the play."

These games have some of the funniest writing I've ever seen in games, and some incredibly weird and goofy wordbuilding.

Highly recommend them both, but if you only buy one then WoL is probably the best place to start.

Rules for Game Dev
1. The gamer is always gamer
2. Games aren't finished, only completed
3. Always keep at least one infinite loop in your game to trap malevolent spirits
4. Don't code the small stuff (it's all stuff)
5. Respect the seven axes of player motivation
6. A bad game is bad forever, but a broken game is right twice a day
7. It's not about who you know, it's about knowing who
8. Disregard the eighth axis of player motivation
9. You couldn't make Super Mario today. Try again tomorrow.
10. The game developer with the most victory points at the end is the winner
11. Do not acknowledge the howling skull

This might be a long shot, but does anyone know of some video games that can be played ENTIRELY through voice commands (without any pesky modding required)?

A game-loving family member became disabled last year and I know they've been missing video games.

A gimmicky mock postcard of my Shadows Over Loathing OC. The text at the front reads "Greetings from ... Ocean City"; the Shadowspeak beneath it reads "Wish you were here!" The background consists of a SOL-stylized alleyway between two brick buildingw, one of which has its windows boarded up. In front is the OC: fedora shading the top half of his face so only his mouth and nose are seen; he is smoking a cigarette and grinning.

A clearer image of just the lineart of the OC. His fedora is shading the top half of his face so only his mouth and nose are seen; he is smoking a cigarette and grinning.

i don't mean to single out baseball fans here, because you see this in lots of fan communities, but in certain corners people talk as though baseball is real. they think all the players are real people and the stadiums are places you can actually visit. to each their own, but that cannot be healthy
