Okay this is some strong as hell maths.
Can't tell you how much buying the Size Five games helps me out.
If you follow me but don't own these yet, please grab them now. It's the *actual best Christmas present* to help keep my weird little company afloat. Thank you.

Okay, it's that time again: you can currently buy all available Size Five games on Steam at 75% off. That's six brillo games for less than a tenner! What a festive treat!

Spotted a question elsewhere (posed by one taking umbrage at the positive reaction to new Tomb Raider trailers); "Do characters HAVE to be sexy?"
If targeting a specific market, it helps, but generally, no.
They DO have to be visually interesting. Bland designs are forgotten.

Once again, no XCOM3, the only game that 100% absolutely everyone in the entire universe ACTUALLY WANTS.
It should be illegal to not announce XCOM3 at this point. A legit crime.

Right, this is it. If X-COM3 isn't announced at these Game Awards you guys, we are *properly* popping off, yeah? I'm talking: stern letters. I'm talking placards. I'm talking synchronised impotent screaming into a pillow.
This has gone on far too seriously long enough by half now, alright?

PSA: if anyone in your life is trying to dissuade you from getting the shingles shot, you should probably assume that person hates you, and wants you to suffer. There is literally no other explanation.
Shingles hurts worse than childbirth. Worse than knee surgery. Worst pain of my life.
Shingles hurts worse than childbirth. Worse than knee surgery. Worst pain of my life.
I am baffled by this because I have had so many friends with shingles and NONE of them made it sound fun. Not one. A vaccine that made me absolutely miserable for 48 hours would still be a huge improvement over the mildest case of shingles I've heard of. (Also it made me tired for 1 day.)
All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl
