[Vladimir Slav @ComradGremlin]

For the last 1.5 years, I've been contesting Valve in order to get my anti-war game published. After total dismissal and stonewalling the process behind "review" from their side, I can't keep it under the rug anymore.

After a year of traveling the USA to document historic skyscrapers through high-res drone photography, here are my favorite Art Deco Buildings🧵

I noticed a bunch of games recently have launched at $20+! Choo-choo Charles, Dwarf Fortress. Indies have been pricing their games too cheaply. Here is the average price of indie games (red line) and AAA games (blue line) for the last 14 years 🧵🧵🧵
