It's time to remind everyone that books make great holiday gifts, because they're rectangular, and easy to wrap.

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.
I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

Mild frustration how often people comment about Zorana "This dropped out of nowhere!" "I had no idea this was coming?" "Why didn't I ever hear about this?" and just, like...

Wild story, a font service was bought out by a US company and now they are absolutely dogshit and it'll particularly heavily affect JP games, especially service titles.

Please keep putting pressure on PayPal. Stories like this are becoming more and more common. Artists don’t deserve to lose their source of income over payment processors being puritanical/anti-small business.
I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years
I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to
my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do

Zorana trading cards are dropping but they don't seem to be dropping full backlog batches (at least, I only got one dropped on me despite my 20+ hours of playtest). This may just be because Steam's servers are jammed up today (stat reporting's been down) but playing the game should still work.
