10 years ago this week, I started work on Tunic. The game wouldn't have been the success it was without LGBTQ+ folks, both devs and players.
So, I'm matching donations to Trans Lifeline. If you can spare $5 (or more!) reply with your donation and I'll X2 it. Thank you! 💕

Finally decided on my GOTY list for 2024:
1. Balatro
2. 1000xRESIST
3. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes
4. Mouthwashing
5. Tactical Breach Wizards
6. Tekken 8
7. Indika
8. Nine Sols
9. Children of the Sun
10. Dragon's Dogma 2
The top 4 are basically interchangeable - all GOTY-worthy in my opinion
