Much deserved - consider getting this game if you like minimalistic strategies (one of my fav genres!) and remember to leave a review :)
My game is fewer than 50 reviews away from reaching "Overwhelmingly Positive" on Steam 🤯
If you enjoyed it, leaving a review would help a ton. Thank you so much! 🙏

Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

I've released a preview version of "Quest for Erasmus" on Itch. I'm still waiting on some artwork and I'm still working on the code, but I believe that the demo is playable from start to end. You can play in your browser or download it and play it with DOSBox.

Ugh, I didn't know about this one. Of course it has all my books. Not only is that money I could use, but every sale helps those of us hanging on in the midlist keep publishing at all. Love to see hundreds of downloads on series that people complain haven't continued with more books. Yeah guess why.
I posted a buy link here to "A Magical Inheritance" a few days ago, and 24 of you immediately went to Anna's Archives and fucking stole it from me.

Yes, stole it.

I do not get paid for your download there because YOU ARE STEALING FROM ME.

I'm getting annoyed that there are still people around who use "AI said..." as if it is a good source although it's just the opposite.

This is rape culture.

This is why so many people don’t come forward.

A young girl was being bullied at school by a boy who made AI generated nudes of her.

She told the principal. She told the guidance counsellor. They didn’t stop it.

Finally she hit the boy responsible, and SHE got expelled:
A Louisiana girl hit a boy who was sharing deepfake nude photos of her. She was expelled.
“This girl was abused,” one of the family’s attorneys said, noting that she endured sexual exploitation and harassment. And the expulsion “was like pouring salt in the wound.”

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

It was my mother who introduced me to Star Trek, she was the sci-fi fan in our home.
I read her sci-fi books, watched movies and shows with her.

This article has to be rage bait, I cannot imagine sb being so detached from ... women? Reality in general?
(Both could be topics of sci-fi books btw.)

Die Polizei hat die Ermittlungsakte gefälscht und trägt dort ein, eine Richterin habe die Adenauer-Beschlagnahmung genehmigt.
Im zuständigen Gericht wundert man sich zunächst, denn: die Entscheidungsbegründung fehlt.
Jetzt kommt raus: Die Richterin sagte ausdrücklich: NEIN!
