The statement read: “If you strike us down, we shall become more autistic than you can possibly imagine.”

Autistic people have unveiled their plans to live the longest and happiest lives they possibly can out of sheer spite toward fascist losers with literal worms for brains.  In a statement released…

🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈I dream of the day when the world can become a place where transgender people can live proudly and freely as themselves, and where they can love freely

As a mascot, I see human love as beautiful and wonderful.
I love you all today as well♡

Zuckerberg's attempt at making Second Life again could almost certainly have funded every indie game in the history of indie games combined.

At about $60K that's about 128 million graduate team indie games, at $150K about 500,000 small indie games, at $300K about 250,000 mid-size debut indie games, or at around $950K about 110,000 indie games by a team of more experienced devs.

There are a total of 110,000 indie games on Steam.

Today's video is my annual collection purge video, where I run through every game that has left my collection this year, and it was a big year for that. 60 odd games. Some were mid, some lost their place to other games, and others were downright terrible. Find out more here. youtu.be/oj-IJycctTg

Hey #boardgames !
Bit of a long shot here but anyone here know someone at (or themselves work for) a talented company that specialises in digital board games, and who might be looking for a big project tussle with (points downwards at The Old King's Crown).

I'd love to talk to them/you if so!

So turns out in the UK, it’s only a crime to sexually harass a child over the course of several weeks if she’s NOT transgender. Live and learn.
Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan has been cleared of harassing a transgender activist, but was found guilty of criminal damage to her mobile phone.

After 72 hours, we're ALMOST at 100 copies of Crownfell sold!

To get all three items to 25% off, we only need:
- 3 more copies of Crownfell
- 11 more mats
- 18 more copies of Last Stand

I'm impressed with how *almost everyone* is getting the solo expansion. Solo play is incredibly important! 🎲✂️
#Crownfell is an asymmetric, abstract, 2-player strategy card game that is live on @thegamecrafter.bsky.social!

No stretch goals, except for this: The more people get it, the lower the price goes *for everyone*.

Add-ons include a playmat & solo expansion.

If Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown lets me choose the fate of Tuvix, I'm going to drop a grand piano on his head then chuck him out the airlock.
Janeway would preserve peace, justice, and the ideals of the Federation as she leads her stranded crew back to Earth...

Just don't ask her about Tuvix.
