What's the running tally on "Oh, this is one of the best songs in the game" utterances?

My team has put together a template for your phone calls and emails regarding the #itchio and #steam adult content bans. Take the template and delete the [bracketed parts] that donโ€™t apply to you. #ttrpg #indiegame #queer #lgbt #indiettrpgs #queerart #censorship

If you want to actually solve the problem, instead of punishing itch, start calling payment cos

Collective Shout, which is run by people who get published by Spinifex, a very terf-seeming organization, apparently needed 1,000 people to yell at visa to get this done.

We got more than 1000 people.

Armand Assante seems to be having a ball in this movie though, just chewing his way through every scene.

Max von Sydow and Jรผrgen Prochnow are wasted on this movie. Giving way too much weight to a script that doesn't seem to know what it wants to be.

Also Stallone in blue contacts is uncanny. Don't like it one bit.

Shame at how rough the story is for the '95 Judge Dredd, because the production values for this film are still ridiculously impressive and cool looking.

Ayyy congrats! That one was definitely the roughest of the enhanced bosses for me.

Thank you! It's probably gonna get the grime treatment to make it look worn in and used, but I like the base colors enough that this probably won't be the last of these.

Thanks! Lotta learning experiences compared to painting a regular ol' Warhammer mini, but it's got me pumped to start tearing through my backlog.

Need to do some final touch ups and decide if I'm going to do some oil washes to make it look beat up, but all in all not bad for a first attempt at painting something bigger than just a lil' Warhammer dude.

What about the chip damage and mental stack of reminding yourself you never did it though?

Giant Shoulders by Mike DeVillar A One-Page Mecha RPG

My next one page game is out! An ultra rules-lite mecha RPG, Giant Shoulders has the players building their pilot, engaging in sorties, and seeing whether they can survive to see another day. Easy to play, easy to modify, go nab yourself a copy now!

I'm a lil' behind on the one-page games, but the next couple should hopefully come a bit swifter. Ideas are there, just gotta hit the ol' grindstone to get them written and released.

I also need to give a huge thank you to @herheim731.bsky.social for the incredible art. They were a joy to work with and it was so nice to have bespoke art for this one!

A good reminder that while Metal Gear Rising was incredibly loud and completely devoid of subtlety, people mistook that for being dumb.

It is not. It's one of the most clear-eyed and pointed political satires AND most plausible takes on cyberpunk around.

It is the Rage Against The Machine of games
