Not a Lando fan, far from it (pretty sure I've mentioned that) but, it's never nice to have your championship be derailed due to mechanical faults.
I should know.
Ferrari fan circa 2008 Hungarian GP.
You still did amazing Felipe, and we love you for it!

Loved the demo when I checked it out before and as soon as I’m back home I’m checking it out and leaving a review.
It’s one of the few games that was mindful of putting the default volume to NOT be 100%, which is extreme appreciated!
Mighty fun too so that helped!

Fist of the Forgotten, my momentum-focused platformer, now has its own separate demo store page, so if you could give it a try and write a review, I'd really appreciate it!

OK I'll jump into the discourse lol: Starting your own publication might mean starting your own business, especially if there's more than one of you. It's unlikely you decided to do this because you wanted to start a business! Do you know how to run a business? I sure didn't until October 2023!
As more journalists are driven out of their jobs, I keep hearing this drumbeat of "it's ok -- they can start their own newsletter or publication." Some can. But becoming your own business is a huge job, and will eliminate many talented reporters from the public sphere. Here's why. (1/5)

50 years on from JAWS' release - we still aren't safe from Sharks!
It was awesome to work with Alice Games on the reveal of #SharkDentist & bring the news to leading gaming media outlets across the world with Loopr!
"Oh, what sharp teeth you have!" - Shark Dentist, probably.

I am not a survival game fan or someone who likes MMORPGS but I’ve been absolutely hooked on #DuneAwakening - only thing I’m not sold on is the combat.
Everything else has been a blast!
