So, we moved house.
It turned out to be way more expensive than we'd hoped. So it goes.
Anyway, now would be a really good time to buy our books! Or if you're after editing services, I've got you covered there too.

I am a reader. I buy books. I occasionally pre-order. I’m an audience. And I don’t want the authors I read to feel pressured to present themselves in ways that make them uncomfortable. I love following the many wonderful author feeds here with their slices of life postings. Their pet pictures.

capitalism is the most efficient means by which to allocate resources
Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

We are better than this. Both latest models and still only allowed to move the boxes round. Not even allowed to wrap the buggers.

I know nobody cares about my takes, but god damn, please don't use EGS.
the "free games" are bankrolled by 10cent and the entire point is to get enough people onto the platform to reach critical mass.
if you care about the future of games *at all*, do not use it.
