My dentist has these too and I was so distracted by the final episode of Brooklyn 99 (that I hadn’t seen before) that I took ages to answer all her (I’m sure very important) questions

Folks at Gamescom said we're a hidden gem 💎 "Not just a simple exhilarating battle action game, but that a deep respect for the rich culture of the South Pacific and a profound storyline are firmly woven into its foundation." - 4Gamer Help us be less hidden!!👀 #indiegame

Our chill vibe city builder came out in the first few months of a pandemic right when everyone was looking for relaxing ways to kill time at home. I wonder how many people can count a global pandemic as good luck? It’s a bit uncomfortable tbh

This reminds me of having lunch on sunny days sitting on the ground outside the back door of the medical centre I used to manage, usually a vegetarian wrap and a yoghurt from the 24, and a few chess puzzles on the side

“I’m changing my eating habits to be healthier” - boring - not really true “I’m starving myself for my lover’s sake” - what it actually feels like - I am a heroic vampire

I need the Aussie and NZ game dev industry to realise how utterly phenomenal their collaborative and supportive nature is. How utterly singular, and precious it is, and how much it must be protected and preserved. Zero exaggeration, it is absolutely astounding how supportive the scene is.

Every fundraiser’s friend. Until the day you discover you can just feed envelopes straight into the printer. And then you discover that if you try to do more than 5 at a time the heat melts the gum and the printer bungs up. Ask me how I know. Actually, don’t. It’s a boring story.
