Out of sheer luck, and an hour of queueing, I was somehow able to get Gold Circle System of a Down tickets. This was the first band I went to see on my own back in like 2005, can't wait!

More developers need to do this and push the announcement of games back until they're ready.

Screenshot from the film "Metropolis", showing the character "The Thin Man" wearing a wide brimmed hat (resembling that of Melania Trump in the quote), hiding behind a newspaper.

I’m out.

I’m migrating to “the thing above us on a clear day”. You can find me there going forward. This account will be inactive for the foreseeable.
