They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

Anyway, go buy an indie game or two. Indie games are fantastic, and I've come across plenty of titles where I wish I could've paid more than the asking price of $5-20!
Indie devs/studios deserve and need your love now more than ever. So go give them your money!

I get WHY game prices are increasing. Production costs are going up because players wants more out of games, and companies need to offset the cost.
At the same time, the cost of living continues to rise while wages stay the same. People can't afford to purchase $80-90 games every month. 🫠

I have heard so many newer writers—including extremely good ones!—bemoan that they think they're a failure because they might have to throw out a half-finished draft and start over.
Throwing out a draft is
a) very very normal and
b) progress, not failure.

I wrote seven novels before Someone You Can Build A Nest In. I didn't just throw away drafts. There are some eras of my life and spirit that will go unpublished.
And that's okay, because they helped me become the writer I am. They weren't failure. They were education.

I swear. Writing is the only discipline where we make people feel like failures for practising. How many songs does a violinist learn that never wind up in recital? How many studies do painters do? Acting exercises. Tennis for fun.

Loved the demo, can't wait to get to this boss showdown! 👀
One of the few obligatory boss fights in Ebb: a chat with your boss.
After midnight on the first day, you meet with Nicholas Darrow in the back of his mansion. Here you have one of the most important choices in Ebb: swear an oath to the magistrate, or refuse and stand alone.
