This is your sign btw that you should call Mastercard
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

I don't really talk about the rat these days but god, Sonic 82 goes some places. Clunky language in places but genuinely floored by how sweet and caring and *sympathetic* the depiction of plurality is. It's not a bad thing, just a thing-thing 😭

Attention comics fans! My latest obsession is The Marvel Bumper comic, a late 80s UK anthology comic containing properties as diverse as Doctor Who, The Real Ghostbusters, and Tom & Jerry. And I need YOUR help to raise the money to get these books to me and my scanner!

type for books used to be set using little metal letters built into words in racks and then inked and pressed on to paper. If you had stock phrases you wanted to reuse a lot you could make a cast of them called a ‘stereotype’. The sound of them *clicking* into place, in French, is ‘cliché’
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

I mean it from the bottom of my heart, just create for yourself first and then for the five people you keep captive in your basement.

Big announcement: I'll be interviewing not one, but TWO (Tyron & Gunla) Ring Racers developers around 5:30-6:00 EDT this Saturday (tentative!) It'll be livestreamed, and I'll likely accept viewer questions after the main segment. Look forward to it!

Oh whoops, slipped my mind to make my own post about it, but I will be on Hotfix tomorrow doing Ring Racers 100 Spraycans (was about to say all, but technically speaking that would entail more collecting as of 2.4's update last week)!
What're you watching on GDQ Hotfix this week?

One year later! Ring Racers 2.4 is a major rebalance update, addressing new-player painpoints while making the core gameplay sharper than ever. Please give it a try and see what it has to offer.

Vindicated to see industry figures echo one of the more polarising takeaways (whenever I say say it out loud) from my own gamedev experience. Toggles and sliders are THE heat death of game design.
