an absurd and destructive move from valve towards one of the most exciting studios out there
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

Hey so you can pre register for our game now. This is sort of equivalent to Steam wishlisting in that it really helps us out. Might make the algorithm smile on us. Please have a look! 🙇♀️

I’m quite ill today and largely can’t move, so it seems like a good time to say: I’ve been using Linux as a daily driver for nearly 20 years. If you’re looking at trying it out, consider this an open door, no stupid questions, AMA. I am cursed with really enjoying talking about Linux. Help a brother
If you're suddenly getting a load of CPU/High-fan usage on windows startup for no reason, and CPU load is looking low in task-manager - Uninstalling update KB5068861 in Windows Updates resolved it for me. Something in that update is making the CPU go screwy (Intel i5 14600KF for me)

After hearing about it on Side Story, Anthology of the Killer has become one of my favourite games I played this year. Just absurdly good.

I’ve had my phone in dark mode for about six years but I confess I do really like the colour palette for light mode
We’re releasing a mobile game in 2025, of course we have light and dark modes.

Finally announcing our next game! DWG is built in my own game engine, Growl, and while it's hardly earth-shattering tech I'm really quite proud to be shipping something with it.
