Moonwatch goes Germany! Maar 2 uurtjes van Utrecht, dus je kan er gewoon bij zijn. 😉
Fresh new snow ❄️, fresh new show 🎵
Come see us and Dutch indie rockers Awash on Saturday 17 January at Kulturort Alte Molkerei in Bocholt!
Yes, that's Germany🇩🇪, but still only 2 hours from our hometown of Utrecht, so no excuses if you're in NL! 😉

@gog.com The entries in the 'Items on your wishlist are now discounted!' e-mails I get from you all only show 'WINDOWS', even when games also support other operating systems. This is a bit confusing. Maybe the entries in the e-mail could show the same OS icons as the game pages on your website?

Fair enough but you should still consider playing Full Throttled Remastered! The original game just turned 30 and our lovingly spruced-up version is a great way to play.
It's on sale right now for 90% off! Grab it, bucko!

"Towards a JSON API for the JDK"
New proposal on the core-libs-dev list for adding a basic JSON API to #Java. That would be a more than welcome addition, in particular considering the envisioned usage once member patterns will be available. Make it So 🤩!
