i personally think it would be really cool if convention panels about Independent Games Media actually had diversity in Independent Games Media rather than the same few popular sites rotating speakers. real β€œtriple-I” indie hours

If you’re wondering what you can do, as many have asked: I know many are looking for a place to aim mean posts at them or whatever. It’s pointless.

every time i write while also being tired, i should get a medal, which means i should get a medal every time i write. which makes sense actually

i would rather mercurysteam make anything else. i would be happier with a castlevania game

truly unsure what 'action first, slick' means here. it's super metroid!!! it's fucking slick!!!

i do not think i could physically disagree more with the world needing a super metroid remake in the slightest

let alone from mercury steam
