I’d add to that “create sensibly”!

There’s a myriad ways of creating games, please don’t feel the need to churn something out in 4 months because that’s what THE MARKET (what does that even mean?) dictates.

Really enjoyed the (very generous!) Dosa Divas demo!

It takes Thirsty Suitors’ colourful rebels, goofy yet emotional family tale, and turn-based RPG combat spiced up with meaningful dialogue, and adds a tasty cooking mechanic that enriches both story and gameplay.

Can’t wait for the full game!

But sure: let’s keep parroting that “perfection is the enemy of good”, without understanding that not shooting for perfection usually lands you somewhere less than good.

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

For reference, his name comes up more often in the Epstein Files than Harry Potter's name does in the Harry Potter novels.

Just sent a message I should've probably sent over 10 years ago and it's hard to believe what a weight suddenly drops from your shoulders.

You learn as you age: being straight with people is what will get you furthest. Or at least help you to live with yourself.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

tldr one thing you can do easily to help indies is tick the helpful button under some reviews you agree with. The system requires this - but why would anyone do it?! I have no idea
