Omg they’re gonna literally do this

The holy trinity 🙏🏻 These were some of the first games I ever got. Adventure Construction Set in particular was so mind-blowing.

it's only a question of when, not if

I drank one White Russian AMA

we need to start a “non-slop seed vault” of books, records, etc. weird little used book stores, it’s your time to shine

This shit is so pernicious that it completely put me off doing “fun indie crossover” content in Ballionaire. It just mimics this crap too much even if it’s meant to show indie solidarity. It feels like a “cute kid” aping a parent’s terrible behavior. Anyway I hate it’s awful
