Happy coming out day.

Remember, it's fine to come out. And it's also fine if you don't for whatever reason(s) you may have.

PS: Never out other people. That's not on you, and you're a piece of shit if you do so anyway.

It's like making a platformer centered around a literal pile of shit. It might be good, but the smell will never go away.

The biggest problem with any game that sees great commercial success is that other companies want a piece of that pie.

And that's how we ended up with Bubsy 3D, Xenophage: Alien bloodsport, and worst of all - Skunny Kart.

I once saw condoms at the merchandise stand at a Nightwish gig. Overly optimistic if you ask me.

Prediction: Nobody will complain about the terrible graphics, sound design and game play. But that's because it'll immediately crash to the desktop.

It's a lot of work moving house so it's absolutely fine to take an (extended) break now and again.

After all, walking leisurely towards the finish line will get you there in the same time as sprinting and then having to wheeze and crawl/stumble the rest of the way.

Dating advice:

Find yourself somebody who looks at you the way I look at the AOpen HX08.

No Amazon, I'm not interested in your gaming store. And no, sending daily emails reminding me of said store doesn't endear me to it. Funny how that works, eh?

And what turns lack of endearment into seething, burning hatred is the inability of opt out of those emails. Fuckssake...

[Scene is ANCIENT GREECE - where SOCRATES and PLATO and others are sitting round, thinking]

1
SOCRATES:
Plato..

PLATO:
Yes Socrates?

2
SOCRATES:
Can you tell me, are you human?

PLATO:
Why… yes, Socrates

3
SOCRATES:
And would you agree, Plato, that a human knows what a chariot is?

PLATO:
Um, yep

4
SOCRATES:
So you can tell me, then

5
[Socrates produces a papyrus, showing a drawing of the corner of a chariot wheel]

SOCRATES:
*Is that a chariot*?

6
PLATO:
Well
that’s more just a bit of wheel

7
SOCRATES:
So not a *chariot*.

PLATO:
No.

8
SOCRATES:
[Producing another papyrus with the full drawing of the chariot, chopped into boxes]

So if a man were challenged to “tap the boxes containing chariots to prove you’re human” when he was just trying to check his ClubCard points... *where could he tap*?

9
PLATO:
Well you can’t tap any of them really

10
SOCRATES:
So are we not human?

PLATO:
‘Spose not.

11
[Bleak pause]

12
PLATO:
I’ll get the hemlock

SOCRATES:
Yeah

[ends]

That is a rather excellent turn of events. Hope you and the fine peeps from Devolver have an amazing time.

GPU price insanity is one of myriad reasons I hope my 3070 Ti will see me through the next few years.

Glad to hear you found something not entirely unreasonably priced. Hope it brings all the joy and frames-per-second you deserve.
