Can I let you in on a secret?
A while ago I added some custom CSS to show on bsky, it hides all the numbers.
I've been lurking a bit, and it's so healing to not be presented with the absolute numerical worth of someone's post or profile.
Anyway, might lurk more.
If anyone is a fan of a good saving, we have a bundle with Slay the Spire which has a rather tasty discount.
We put a lot of love into this game. And I'm stoked to see people actually playing it.
Today is our Early Access release! 🎉
Really happy with all the VFX and tiny polishing touches I've put in the last couple weeks.
The battles are damn satisfying now.
I've had to forbid myself from 3D printing and painting the tiles, they're so touchable and I want them on my desk.

Going back through a long running podcast is a real journey of how we've felt about social media over time.
2015: "you can find us online @... Last week someone tweeted a supercut of every time Gary says 'Weeeeeell' lol"
