This is useful for me too, I reckon I am paying way too much for sites I ultimately don't use.

I believe webm support is a newish feature for steam pages.

Weird to see it being used for text though. Not so great for those with vision problems.

The hardest thing about being a parent is trying to resist introducing your child to every song, movie and tv series you've ever consumed.

Very excited. New books! Got the new Benedict Jacka coming very soon, and the new Craft Wars book by Max Gladstone. Very excited to read these two.

I find it shocking that I can't create an account on my Xbox without assigning an email address to it.

For parents it's just a nightmare.

My hot take of the day: If you're a "AAA" studio and you are releasing a $110+ game with huge performance requirements, you should also release a free benchmark tool.

All my targeted ads at the moment are competitions or fathers day promotions for coffee machines and pizza ovens.

Completed The Drifter last night. A wonderful little game. So nice to play a solid point and clock after so many years. And heck, the gamepad support is great, so it's also a 'tilt and mash' adventure game? Doesn't have the same ring to it. . .

Thanks @barney.powerhoof.com + @dave.powerhoof.com !

I don't have the proper words to say more than this now but

I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated.

If your studio is looking for an environment artist, please let me know ASAP. I have 5+ years of experience.

thank you

So I held off for over two weeks. If you are going to pax Australia this year to show off an indie, please contact me!
I am creating shorts for those indies that are exhibiting and I want to make sure yours is there too.
If you already contacted me, thank you so much, I am working on them!
