This is a tiny price tag to support interesting art, from an incredibly talented studio, during a time when there's a real danger of us losing access to so much.
Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

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...

been feeling a hole in my soul for some good sci-fi, so what better time to try battlestar galactica again.

bounced off it once, but this time around I'm enjoying it a whole lot more. definitely seeing some influences it had on later works

I migrated away from aws to a UK local provider and its like a 20th the cost.
less money for less "giving money to bezos", among other benefits
Here's you PSA for today: host your webserver at a local provider.

Everyone moved to AWS because they offered the best 99.999999% uptime. Now that's off the table. And the prices are shit anyways, you can get a better deal literally anywhere else.

I may be somewhat biased, but our next update just went live and it's imo just super impressive. massive lakes and waterfalls of fully simulated water + that looks/sounds super good + that is mechanically significant. I mean _I'm_ impressed

And if you’re like “I’m a game dev & I don’t see how a narrative person who is also a historian is helpful for me and my non-historical game”

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

I have had a small monthly donation to wikipedia set up for a few years and it is absolutely worth it. if you could afford £13/mo on spotify, you can probably afford a few quid on one of the biggest freely accessible knowledge bases available.
I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.
