*sigh* we need to go through this again, huh?

- Trans men are men
- Trans women are women
- Trans rights are human rights

It's not rocket science, OK? It's literally *that* simple.

I see you. Always. Same goes for all you non-binary folk out there.

Let everyone live their lives as who they are.

Linux has totally sparked my brain in ways I didn’t expect. I haven’t had excitement like this in tech in a while. Sure it can be challenging at times (Arch is all terminal), but shit works. Don’t be afraid to try it out. I suggest Mint for newbies

Fort Oasis waits… Total Chaos is out NOW on PC, PS5, Xbox, and Game Pass.

From the mind behind Turbo Overkill, Sam Prebble drags you into a descent you may not return from.

UZDoom 4.14.3 RC2 has been released! This is a small bugfix release, with the most significant fix being a fix for GZDoom configuration files not importing correctly. Note: macOS (ARM) builds are still being investigated.

Enough of creepy-crawly train engines, let's do some laid back cozy stuff for a while. An adventure where you look for your missing dog sounds just about right. Right?

I rerember when I first saw #Saccharine, it was a wee little GameJam entry at a magazine I worked for.
Look at it now, all matured and commercially available. They grow up so fast *sniff*.

My friend has a new video out and you should watch that video because it's a good video. Even though my friend is called radio.

Let's get those spider-train-eggs and bring peace to this island. Or die trying. At least our train looks nice.

Here’s my breakdown of EA’s pending sale… to Saudi Arabia… and why this is much, much bigger than video games. I’m late to this from a ‘news’ perspective obviously, but it’s because I worked on this video for about a month.

It's recently come to my attention that someone made a fake UZDoom website. DO NOT CLICK IT!

The only official website for UZDoom is ZDoom dot org and the ONLY official place to get future UZDoom downloads would be the official UZDoom Github page!

Stay safe out there y'all

[Boosts appreciated]
