Still wrapping up the Route 66 book. I plan to launch the ebook in a few weeks, and start getting some info from retailers before getting it printed. Folks that purchase the ebook will get an option to get the print version at a discount offset by the price of the ebook.

Basically it's gone from under $400 to commercially license a font for a game, to a subscription model that's $20,500 a year lmfao.
No other options, no other recourse beyond "hope they change their minds I guess, this sucks!".
Monotype can go to hell lol they've always been like this.

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.

James Carville, in his NYT Op-ed, says it's time for Democrats to "embrace a sweeping, aggressive, unvarnished, unapologetic, and altogether unmistakable platform of pure economic rage. The most populist platform since the Great Depression."

I’m not your dad, I’m not going to tell you how to live your life. There’s literally nothing stopping you from, say, buying a fancy whisky glass that has an indentation for holding a cigar and using it to serve queso and a taquito.

Anyone else try learning #Navajo or #Hawaiian using #DuoLingo recently? These courses feel half-baked. Navajo is missing audio after the first few lessons. Neither explains how certain things work, like word order when explaining ownership in Navajo, or which version of “the” to use in Hawaiian.
