Realizing we don't have a nomination from Once Upon a Katamari which should qualify as it came out this year, but we need to nominate ONE little guy from the game who was introduced this year (so the prince wouldn't count)

Maybe a cousin? Let me know!

Alright everybody its time to start collecting nominations.

Thank you! To anyone who loved playing Keeper, we'd be tickled if you thought of us when making your #SteamAwards nominations in these three categories:

👁️ Outstanding Visual Style
🎶 Best Soundtrack
😌 Sit Back and Relax

(And if you haven't played Keeper yet, we'd be thrilled if you did!)

#SteamAwards outstanding visual style has to go to @doublefine.com #Keeper, that's the majority of its thing.

Its friggin' beautiful in a way I hadn't experienced before.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

When the Conservative Party in Korea declared martial law, the Korean Democrats knew if they didn’t send them to hell there would be no opposition afterwards. And look at them. They’re taking the ex conservative president and ensuring he never breathes free ever again.
