Spoilers for a game that released in 1989, but FFLegend had such a wild ending that whenever somebody mentions player-protag narrative distinction, I relive that jarring moment so vividly.

so many games on Next Fest - weird indie games that would never pop up in the normal Steam algo with questionable thumbnails mislabeled as AI slop by weirdos who only play triple-A slop. you love to see it.

If you didn't catch our latest email update, we've had trouble securing funding via sponsorship these past years and our coffers are low; we can only afford live captioning this year with additional support: www.flipcause.com/secure/cause... We love our captioners and would love to have them back!

As someone taking part in the current Xbox / Microsoft boycot, I went back and forth a lot on how to handle covering, or not covering, today's Xbox Showcase event. My answer? I'm using it to fundraise for Medical Aid for Palestinians. www.justgiving.com/page/laurakb...
