Beautiful fly with bright golden hue making her maggots a spit and shit stew As Albert Brooks says in Broadcast News Satan is waitin' with sweet baby blues I wish that this meant that the converse was true but the ugly of face can have ugly minds, too

I have 2 indie game ideas that I know would instantly make tons of money, but there's a reason I make educational games. I can't bring myself to be enthusiastic about these incredibly commercial game ideas. DM me if you're a pal and you wanna make a super successful game I guess.
