Zohran Mamdani declares victory in NYC's Democratic mayoral primary as Cuomo concedes

Three months ago today, plain-clothes ICE agents abducted Mahmoud Khalil in his apartment building lobby after they'd followed him home.
Free Mahmoud.

It's #BandcampFriday! I'm sure you know, but it's a great way to directly support the artists you enjoy, as 100% of revenue goes directly to them.

If you haven't picked up #Sunderfolk, you absolutely should. Jackbox and DnD lovers should especially pick up this game. Super fun co-op experience. It's like a digital board game.

The price of premium games will likely rise to $80 across the board. US wages have been stagnant since the 1970s. They haven't kept up with the cost of housing/rent, tuition, and healthcare. People have less disposable income than in 1980. Keep games affordable.

Last weekend, I finished Split Fiction which is a fantastic game. I loved It Takes Two, but Split Fiction was just an improvement in every way.
Shoutout to @hazelightgames.bsky.social for another banger of a game. I loved having the opportunity to play this with some buds.

May do some slight redesigns, but overall pretty happy with this. I was doing a quick study of 8th Project's work. I think for first try this is pretty good. The mouth is the only part I'm not 100% on.
