I'm pretty sure this is an AI-generated logo. If you look at the other versions of it on their website, every single bird is slightly different (the feet, the head, the bag).

I mean, this sucks, no?

A screenshot of the Sackbird website that says "seek the sack" (horrible) followed by four images of a black bird with a bindle and a human arm. there are minor variations in the art - some birds have bigger heads, or more fingers, or flatter feet.

So I guess this is a reminder to the homies:

While we're all broke and hungry we have to be extra vigilant in research

Despite having 'Transparency' as one of their key tenants, it took a bit of digging to get to the core of their pitch:

"Oncade is a Web3-native game distribution platform"

Its a steam-key seller, running on crypto

Just when I thought I was done with crypto

So I get this email from Oncade, a new digital store, about their new creator program. I'm thinking this could finally make up for the crater left after the death of the Humble Partner stuff

They even have Rain World! Great? But hang on, whats this...?

Game trailers really appending 'cozy' to things in ways that tell me no writer was involved.

"Create your cozy character..."

I'm sorry, my what? What about the character creator is cozy? Is it just an aesthetic to you? Is it just sweaters and low-poly red triangle noses?

A million years after everyone else, I have fully finished Tunic

I'm proud of how much translation I achieved myself, but without The Longship I would have lost my entire marbles

Due to overwhelming demand, the 2000 AD Annual returns this November! But what's inside? Tharg will reveal a new story every Tuesday & Thursday as we head towards launch!

Last year we sold out - so pre-order now! bit.ly/4prqPNw

A computer tells Tharg, mighty editor of 2000 AD: "The thrill-power ratings are through the roof!"

"Naturally, my outdated macintosh. I've been keeping them high thanks to the seasonal annuals!"
