it's really unfortunate RWS is so ass because Postal: Brain Damaged is genuinely Very Fun

With the recent release of Heretic+Hexen, Christopher Lutz's 2011 award-winning 'Icebound' gained popularity again as the first featured community add-on through the platform's mod browser. Several other Cacoward-winning mods can be found there, as well.

i'd like to congratulate the implementation of the australian social media ban for under-16s for being completely and utterly dogshit, especially on bluesky.

People are always surprised to learn how little creators actually own in comics, games, etc. Big corporate brands are usually built on a work-for-hire model, meaning creators get paid once and then the *company* owns their ideas forever. This is why independent/creator-owned work is so important.

can confirm. I've been watching Reload's interaction numbers steadily going down over time. we had to cease production and I am now ceasing our weekly threads because no one cares to interact with them. it hurts but it's the truth.
