This is awful, and Diaz has QTP'd that they have insider info that @crunchyroll.com execs consider the current backlash against their enshittification of subtitles too small to matter.
They've bent to backlash before tho with trying to lower video quality.
This is an important one, anime fans.

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity.
We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Now working on another IF for Bare-Bones Jam. I love that this jam forces you to not add anything extra, helps me focus on storytelling. This will be a new story/series with a lot more choices than previous IFs I've made.
Still having power problems, fingers crossed they will be fixed soon.

to be honest I've always found it kinda fun to end up being a little bit crappy at whatever I try to do... Takes a lot of pressure off, and I feel like everyone can tell when you're doing something just for the love of the game

I might be submitting more IF to inkjam and/or bara jam, hopefully point & click. I'm having more catastrophic power problems so Godot development is on hold for now.
I've removed From Nothing from itch. It was very incomplete and too ambitious to finish any time soon.

ゲーム作りを始めてからの最初のちょっと大きいゲーム『鳥獣妖怪戯画』が、レビュー10件いただいておりました！！
フリーゲームとはいえ、プレイするにはお時間もかかるかと思います。アクションゲームはちょっと労力もかかると思います。そんな中、プレイしてくれたこと（コメントの有無にかかわらず）すごくうれしいです。
一人一人に感謝を述べたいところではございますが、それもかなわないので
SNS上で失礼します。
