Overthrowing the government of Iran and installing the shah led to the Iranian revolution and the Ayatollah. Funding the Mujahideen in Afghanistan led to the taliban and Al queda. These unlawful actions could have destabilizing consequences for decades and this will haunt the US for generations.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

My humble birthday girl requests: play Angeline Era, tell a friend, blog about it, or write a review!!
In addition to art, did you know I was story lead? Angeline Era embodies so much of what I've chased over the past few years, from wildflowers to parties to Apocrypha to ancestry.

the HORSES stuff is obviously ridiculous and depressing, but it is also worth asking ourselves: who has benefited from the "games are art" campaign? it has certainly not been the artgame makers, whose work continues to be shunned and dismissed as "not games"
holy fuck this is ridiculous, how can we claim games are art if art is this scary to our two primary distribution channels?
Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf
