The convenient thing about the LGBTQ+ community though is that we can pop up anywhere, at any time. The perpetual boogieman.

They can’t exactly answer that honestly.

It feels disingenuous at best to lump in people making $60k/year with Jeff Bezos and other billionaires. Just twelve billionaires account for 2,100,000 homes worth of emissions, and that’s only the raw output of their travel and other direct expenses: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/20/twelve-billionaires-climate-emissions-jeff-bezos-bill-gates-elon-musk-carbon-divide

Yes, we can all do our bit to help out, but workers pointing fingers at other workers will only ever benefit the ruling class.

Yeah, that’s fair. FWIW it’s still uncommon enough that “Eh it happens” isn’t reasonable.

Living in a red state, I would? It’s not every year that an elected official gets whacked, even one that’s a member of a hated minority. For reference, there’s been 57 assassinated government officials in the US total: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assassinated_American_politicians

Saying “Eh this is just par for the course all countries are like this” feels like it minimalizes the problem.

Another article specified that they were literally found stabbed to death. How the fuck is there not foul play involved? Sounds like the AG is in on it or at least permissive of anti-LGBTQ+ violence.

Loddlenaut - A cute little trash collecting game. It seems pretty chill and fun. I didn’t get to the point of meeting the titular Loddles because I want to save that for release, but the satisfaction of cleaning up the environment and picking up pieces of trash is already a solid loop even without adding additional mechanics. Potato computer friendly.

One Lonely Outpost - It’s a bad sign when you get frustrated by repetitive, uninteresting tasks in the first 30 minutes of the game. From a design perspective, it needs to answer “Why?” a lot better. Why are we gathering archeology fragments? Why are we doing these irritating and honestly unfun tasks? And not in a “Well we’re making the world habitable”, the answer needs to be more direct: “We’re looking for soil analyzer blueprints to be able to tell where to plant our crops”. It might have some magic fun hidden later in the game, but I was thoroughly unimpressed with the demo.

Wizard with a Gun - Neat concept and fairly fun to play. I find isometric non-tile-based games clunky, and this game doesn’t change that feeling. I might pick it up if my friends show interest in playing co-op.

Grand Emprise: Time Travel Survival - Interesting concept, but extremely jank. Poor UI, mechanics aren’t that tight or interesting, animations are extremely clunky and ‘combat’ is laughable. It almost feels like an asset flip.

Paleo Pines - Cute, but something feels off. I’m not sure if it’s the animations, the shaders, or something else, but something gives the game a visually half-finished feel. I’m interested to see where this one goes and what further polish it receives.

Soy milk gang!
