”The homeward road was very long, I haven’t met a soul
Now the evenings grow gloomier and colder
Come comfort me a little, for the journey takes its toll
And I’m suddenly so alone"

Covid pretty much acts like a seasonal flu so it’s definitely recommended to take both flu and covid vaccines (you can also do it at the same time but if you’re sensitive to side affects I would wait maybe a week in between)
Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.”
Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment.
No questions asked.
No proof required.
Pass it on.

I notice there's a lack of EU numbers or links, given that these payment processors are potentially violating EU law by affecting sites that host creators who are legal EU citizens.

If anyone doesn’t already know itch.io
caved in to payment processing companies’ demands and enacted a mass censorship to the entire playform, “only” games labeled as NSFW are supposed to be delisted and not surprisingly along with it tons of LGBTQIA+ content

Also, indie games like Balatro and Undertale manage to break through because they are built on interesting, yet simple, gameplay concepts a lot of games these days have too much completely useless stuff added there that in the end can take away from the enjoyment
A lot of studios are spending too long in preproduction or trend hopping without considering what is actually engaging or fun, both can be caused by either inverstor pressure or mismanagement mentioned in the article
Developers blame the game industry's woes on unreasonable investors, mismanagement, and skyrocketing game costs. Is there a way to make things better?

Are 'unreasonable investor expectations' the cause of poor video game market conditions?
New data Game Developer Collective data shows many developers think investors are responsible for the game industry downturn. Is that fair?
