James Dobson dying is a staring into the middle distance type of event. You have likely directly suffered bc of him. Few have done more to harm humanity at large in the past few decades. A principal architect of our current nightmare. No redeeming aspect. He was a rat made entirely out of plague.

I rolled credits on Blue Prince last night. What a deeply wonderful game and a beautiful finale.
Now I'm going to play it for another 30 hours.

Absolutely heartbreaking. The last few years have been brutal for the industry and to see it touch a studio as storied as Cyan is awful.
Cyan friends and family, we have some difficult news to share today.

For our first skeet or whatever, we'd really love to provide more financial support for our GDC scholar cohort this year- to kick it up a bit, the board will personally match up to $5000 in donations. Help us support the future of game dev animation- no donation is too small!

I once had a really well-known client ignore an invoice and ghost me for almost 45 days until I threatened to sue 🙃 Turns out they weren't even paying their own people on time and now they don't exist anymore. Absolute joke company to work with.
Pay your invoices.
Pay your invoices.
BUSINESS TIP: the second someone sends an invoice, as far as I'm concerned *that money is no longer mine*. I pay it at the next possible opportunity, I don't fucking sit on the thing for 30 days.
Pay it, do it now. Pay it instantly, those people need that money.
Pay the money.
