Congrats on releasing, Edwige!

Damn dude what read. Fantastic reporting.

pineapple for comparison, if you're curious

Could be Fructose + quantity related? Both Raspberries and Oranges have Fructose as a FODMAP trigger but apparently raspberries are likely to trigger issues at a much lower volume than oranges.

Highlight of my day:

One of my PT's new clients asked him a question as I was doing chest press. He then looked at what I was lifting (18kg dumbells, so 36kg total) and went "woah, heavy O_O"

I'm not used to being the person someone /else/ thinks is strong! Very pleased. 😌

Can confirm you'd be working with the LOVELIEST people in this role. 🥰

Obvs that's driven by a publisher rather than a community figure/group, but imo they've built up a community around them to support it.

I've seen similar in the effectiveness of @rogueduck.net 's Steam events.

They're events rather than showcases, but even when the events don't get front page featuring we get a solid uptick in wishlists because they're so well genre curated... which mean they find the right audience!

Update: Sunday lemon tart and wine birthday was everything I wanted it to be

The Burger Bois logo, but the text has been changed to say "GENDERLESS BURGER EXPERIENCE"

That definitely makes it easier to come across them! :D My dad is the only sports-adjacent person in our fam - and even then, he only follows rugby (which he tried to get Alex into, lol)

happy new paranormasight

Ngl I had little to no exposure to them growing up - and agreed, if we'd had more moments like these, that may well have solved that problem!

It's been such a pleasure watching this game come together over on the Wholesome Games Discord 👀

Damnit I was too late to rewrite the rules 😤 😤 😤 😤

TY!! Does it still count if they were on me at separate times?

thank u 4 recognising my rightful day 😤 😌

thank!!! i had a beautiful plum wine with dinner and it fixed me 😌

damnit how could I forget to have a birthday burger

i've betrayed my brand!!

👉 using abuse-in-state-care survivors to justify beneficiary bashing r*pe survivors in the year of our lord 2026 is not it 🙅🏻‍♀️

👉 everyone outlined in this case is getting less than the minimum wage with all their assistances combined! literally shu tuh fuh uhhhh about it

some reasons i gave in my submission:

👉 both cohorts get supplementary assistance so it’s not fair that only survivors pay theirs back

👉 survivors go without care for decades and relationship sanctions on MSD benefits wildly increase their re-injury risk

👉 MSD already lost? in court??

the public can submit on this today btw (it opened on wednesday and closes today lol 🤪)

DM me for a template, but you can literally just say “I oppose it because it is misleading and financially disenfranchises survivors, I recommend don’t pass it.”
