Hear me out...

Univerally praised games are neat enough, but nothing hits quite like something unpopular that speaks to *you*.

So show-and-tell: Link and Explain a game that's UNDERRATED (sub-500 user reviews), UNDERRATED (sub 80% score) or BOTH (ideally!) that is near and dear to your heart.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

one of the difficulties of chatting online with cool techy trans girls is that it can at times be difficult to tell a keysmash from an encryption key

This game deserves more time in the spotlight. One of the weirdest, most experimental things in the roguelike design sphere.

There's a lot of games out there that just stick with tried-and-tested formulas with a minor twist. We should spotlight the creative stuff.

As others have said, releasing this info publicly is rare. And those numbers are VERY good. Everything past break-even means only a 15% publisher cut!

May the house that Sus built stand for many years.

Hey Informa / #gdc

More random Choirs of game music.

Less roping off the Yerba.

It's literally that easy. There is already enough evil in the world.

So, sometimes, I like to say "I can't wait for the AI market to collapse so that nerds can fiddle with the tech and figure out what it's good for" and this is one of those examples of that kind of thing www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Plo...

Pixel art for the aforementioned item. It's a naked brown humanoid on all fours.

do yourself a favor folks, if you're 26 or younger, make a plan to dodge the draft. it's not making the problem about you -- the child you don't go overseas to kill will thank you for it in fact. and if it doesn't come to pass, better to have a plan and not need it than need it and not have it

ALL Women must stand together on International Women's Day

ALL Women must stand together on International Women's Day Graphic image of women's outlines in different colours like watercolour.

On International Women’s Day, we reflect on the importance of solidarity between women🩷

For over a decade, the conversation around trans rights has been used to divide women who would otherwise stand together. This weakens our ability to challenge the real sources of inequality, misogyny & violence

What inspires someone to pursue physics for life?

From discovering general relativity to the encouragement of mentors, women in our community share the moments that shaped their journeys.

Please stop sharing the awful shit in order to dunk on it. We know it's bad, we don't need to see it. You can complain about him without also propagating what he has to say!
