I feel like the absolutely absence of posts about holding space for defying gravity on this site is mind blowing and unacceptable

Completing the marketing “author questionnaire” for a book is by far the most shame-inducing task involved in this job, other than the job market. “Who will be interested in this book?” NO ONE? My friends…? Please stop looking at me.

Anna Anthropy has put Dys4ia back online. For those who don't know, Dys4ia is considered critical to the indie games canon of the 2010s, getting a level of recognition, and notoriety for the maker, that ultimately caused her to try & erase it from history. Dev notes here: w.itch.io/dys4ia/devlo...
