Given how bad this is getting, I've opened a Donation Tier on SubscribeStar. One-time or recurring, this is one way to help me while combating this nonsense

Let’s be 100% clear:
If Dems cave right now instead of Reps nuking the filibuster, then Dems will be solely responsible for our healthcare costs skyrocketing, and handing Trump pure unlimited power.
Telling your opposition (who is trying to kill you) that you will always fold.

I feel like devs would feel more comfortable "marketing" their games if they realized it's just *talking*. you're literally just finding ways to communicate with others about your game. how do you explain the game to them? what key art best represents it? are there any events it'd fit in? that's it

Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that

I am not fucking joking when I say the English-speaking video game world would be nothing without GameFAQs. Everyone and their mom used it (literally, my mom and all her friends). If you played video games in the 2000s you probably knew GameFAQs in the same way most people know, like, Wikipedia
Hey, happy 30th birthday GameFAQs! Launched on November 5th, 1995!
The earliest scrape I can find on Wayback is December 1996, but I doubt the site changed much. But yes, here it is in its earliest days as the Video Game FAQ Archive!
