i'm very up front about what this one is

thanks to a very generous tip, my biggest immediate need is taken care of. I still have a lotta debt to clear, but the biggest immediate bill is done

my articles, as always, are free to read! I get by ENTIRELY on tips! So, if you want to support me, 250 people doing $20 would be crazy helpful

It is one of the strongest arguments I have that party leadership, and the strategy consultant apparatus that surrounds them, just does not really respect their base of support on a very basic level. See also: my previous comments on how the only communication is marketing.

if the game's release date is after IGF jury is over, you're too late man! You have failed to provide a relevant build!
