Alright, @itch.io, I know messages and such can get lost in the shuffle, but half a year of radio silence is beyond ridiculous.

If you want to convince people to stop setting your revenue share to 0%...well, this ain't it, chief.

Reviews.

Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.)

Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

Raising an eyebrow at Hollywood's unions complaining about how Netflix buying Warner Bros will shrink the film market, deflate wages, ruin everything, etc.

As if Paramount (the expected frontrunner in the bidding) wouldn't have also done much of the same, just without as many theater closures.

Happy thirty-third birthday to the game that literally changed my life.
I looked into learning Japanese because of this game.
I have helped raise over $200,000 for charities with this game.
Thanks, Final Fantasy 5. You're so cool.

...and if you wonder why I keep calling it "unintelligent artifice"...
"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

First, anyone who uses unintelligent artifice was never my "client" to begin with.

Second, there's so many marketing cons that historically went with this strategy. "Success can't happen without our help" and such.

Third, this is extremely insulting to wolves. On their behalf, I demand an apology.

So, I got the doc to put in a referral for a formal ASD/ADHD diagnosis and folks, please buy my books so I can afford to pay for it.

I will love you forever. All sales appreciated.

Two things can be true at the same time.

Thread to follow.
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...

The fact that itch posted this and not even an hour later I got a bunch of new sales proves how big it is when other people talk about your games.

It can literally be a life changing events.

When John Harper made a nice quote tweet about Breathless, hundreds of people looked at the game.

While I do get what people are going for when they call it a "K shaped economy", I'm not sure that's the shape that would show up on graphs of discretionary consumer spending or such.

Maybe it would be something more like a P shape. 🙃

I apologize in advance for an upcoming chapter of Heirs of Hyarch having the worst pun yet for a title.

You will know it when you see it.

If you see that one International Men's Day meme image going around, be aware it's using AI generated images.

We can absolutely address the issues of toxic masculinity without resorting to any of that.

Besides, real men can and should respect actual artists and photographers.
