Ah crud, I haven't been checking the calendar for Steamworks often enough, the current Cyberpunk Fest on Steam would've been perfect for The Grant Grover Anthology! We're finally back and working on it again too!

Those agendas and biases can be anything! Case in point: you think the fruit in the garden of eden was an apple because a guy translating the story into Latin wanted to make a pun.

I start a new day job tomorrow which, counterintuitively, means I'll be able to get more work done on The Grant Grover Anthology - having less possible time to work on it means I'm more likely to use that time on productive things!

There is no option here that will stop - jailing Indigenous children - abusing human rights of refugees - accelerating climate change for fossil fuel donor profits - 2 way arms trade with apartheid genocidal regime Israel #auspol

I've come across three references to Great Wolf Lodge in the past month after managing to go nearly 45 years never hearing that combination of words in that order

Whether it's illegal to say it or not (?), Israel is quite clearly committing genocide in Palestine. The Australian government (but not the Australian people) is quite clearly supporting it. And our farce of a democracy is being further eroded so people don't speak this truth.

Hello, it is time for the Annual Tweet! Are you working on a COOL, NEAT, and perhaps even EXTREMELY WEIRD video game that'll be launching in 2026? If the answer is YES then let me know in the replies below! I want to get eyes on some coverage candidates before the year begins to consume us all.

I'm trying to decide if I should re-do our key art on Steam before the Detective Fest that starts in a couple of days. The original seemed a bit unfocused so trying for something more eye-catching. I'd love some feedback! Worth changing to the new one, or just keep the current? #solodev #gamedev

Our current Steam capsule: a desk showing a bottle of whiskey, a cigarette in an ashtray, a VR headset and a classic noir detective's Trilby hat. It is entirely black and white except a small coloured glow from the headset and the cigarette. "The Grant Grover Anthology" is written above everything.Our potential new Steam capsule. A detective Trilby had and VR headset floating as if on an unseen person, looking at a computer screen that we see from behind. A keyboard and whiskey bottle are visible. Behind is a slightly foggy view of venetian blinds in a classic noir style. Everything is black and white except for some orange glow coming from the computer monitor. "The Grant Grover Anthology" is written to the left in the negative space left by the dark corner and monitor.

PM Albanese is a stooge to the violent pedophilic fascists in the US and Israel. Saying things like "we've always been concerned about human rights and democracy" as the Empire flattens both is gaslighting and propaganda. Australia needs a strong, moral leader. We have a toad.
