It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

It's bizarre how often I think about and look up the music of #Terranigma considering how old that game is. It just stays with me I guess. I simply love that title.

The ladder from Legend of Zelda 1 of course. You can reach stuff high up, but also cross small rivers. It is easy to carry with you and you won't get arrested, unlike a bow and arrow or bombs or something.

We've been adding lots of polish and flourish with our extra time on Demonschool. This before and after video of maxing relationships should give you a good idea.

Before: A small kiss decal. That's all we had time for.

After: Full-on shoujo manga animatic.

Ah, time for today's "for fucks sake".

Suffice it to say Bitmap Books will never see another penny from me.

I genuinely don't understand why it's so hard for people to not be arseholes these days, but I find myself increasingly despairing at the world.

Monday 6th October 2025

Dear supporters of Bitmap Books,

Although I stand by the fact that Moses’ comments were ill-advised and insensitive, the whole thing blew up and was made much bigger than it needed to be. Moses has publicly apologised for any offence caused, as has the original poster of the comments who did not intend to cause this much trouble. I do not feel that this warrants an author losing his livelihood and ruining years of hard work to produce the book.

Despite multiple accusations to the contrary, Moses freely agreed to donate his royalties to charity. There was no coercion from me, however we both recognise that due to an increasingly stressful situation that decisions were rushed on both sides. I’m pleased to say that Moses and I have spoken again today, we stand together, and have agreed that he will receive 100% of his royalties.

Maybe I was hasty in my response, and I’m happy to admit to that. At the time I sincerely thought I was doing the right thing to diffuse an increasingly difficult situation. I will commit to donating all company profits from this first print run to the charity, Special Effect.

The bottom line is that is that Moses has apologised for his original comments, and will now be paid the royalties that are rightfully his.

Moses and myself have received a large amount of personal abuse and threats over the past few days. We hope that this statement will bring some closure to what has happened.

Sam Dyer, founder of Bitmap Books

I don't like making videos like this, but If we don't stand up to the plague of AI and stolen content it's only going to get worse. It's blatant stolen content, blatant AI slop, blatant misinformation and it has to stop - today I'm putting my foot down.

Y'all please read this article on one of my most cherished DS game ever 🥰

In these times where Wizardry makes a grand come back (in the west that is, it never left Japan), a remake, or port at least ala Etrian Odyssey HD is long overdue!

Kimimi🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️, but spooky 🦇 @kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com · 3d

And available for everyone is this article on The Dark Spire!

"...it really understands that Wizardry is more than a dungeon crawling icon; it’s [...] worthy of being played for its own sake, fame and age deemed irrelevant. "

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

Petitioner’s counsel has requested documentation of a judicial warrant for his arrest, any charging documents, or other authority supporting his detention. See Santiago Decl. ¶¶ 18–20. ICE has provided no response. Id. To date, ICE has not placed Petitioner in removal proceedings, charged him with violating immigration law, set bond, issued a Notice to Appear, or otherwise processed him. See Pet. ¶¶ 16, 49. In Respondent’s Opposition brief, the government states “ICE intends to take further action consistent with the laws prescribed under the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) once Petitioner is released from medical care and it can conduct the examination as [prescribed] in 8 C.F.R § 287.3.” Opp. at 4. Neither Petitioner nor Respondents have provided the Court with information about Petitioner’s citizenship, whether he has violated any law or regulation, or any information that would suggest that Petitioner is a flight risk.
