i was vaguetweeting weeks ago about a huge media org that fucked us over bad

gave me exclusive content requests + deadlines, set up meetings then ghosted me & cost us 1000s of dollars

i was going to keep quiet but you know what

@PCGamer don't treat women like shit challenge

@redblobgames Really appreciate this work your doing, your site was a big influence during the early days of developing our proc gen maps. Heartbreaking to watch the internet decaying around us in this current era. Thanks for keeping a light burning.
