Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me. It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

This fine fellow has been doing To The Flame speed runs (our horror rage platformer about moth endlessly seeking LAMP). He even made a mod to do fancy speedrun time tracking to improve faster! I am honored. This world record is crazy precise and satisfying to watch.

a dungeon-meshi-like... a game about exploring a massive, winding dungeon, but the trick is learning its shape & ecology so you can navigate it w/o starving. red plants indicate a hidden spring. slime nests are a reliable food source. a guardian means stairs ahead, but spiders hint at a hidden route

Also your taste manifesto will probably change over time, depending on life pressures etc.

Q. Do you think most players of indie games know that most indie games flop and that's why long term support isn't possible? Or do you think lots of people only know about indie hits and somehow think all indie games make loads of money?
