Yeah I reported it in various places — the courier has to provide a proof of delivery photo and they only have a photo of a literal pallet or parcels in a car park. So I'm in with a shot.

Yeah. This subreddit actually welcomes that. Content creators can post content, game devs can post games. And people interested in games and game content can check out what's there :)

The backlash on the company has been rough to witness even as an outsider. You all work on great games and idk. Just, sorry about all the nonsense that goes on, fwiw.

I've had an editor dock a star—it was a 10/10 reduced to 9/10. They didn't agree Kevin Blechdom's "Bitches Without Britches" was iconic enough for the 10/10 club.

The Knife's "Silent Shout" & Joanna Newsom "Ys." passed as 10/10s tho.
TL;DR maybe the editor hates Will Smith.

Right. The whole proposition seemed to be, please substitute your day-to-day life for this featureless virtual mall where you are a legless bean. And then they're like. Where is everyone.
