oh don't worry from what I hear publishers are absolutely out there right now demanding "the next balatro" in the form of gambling adjacent roguelikes with zero budget and expecting tens of millions of dollars in revenue

as a member of the artist class there's nothing i love more than oppressing the lowly consumer class
Holy fuck They're tying an audience member to the mouth of a cannon on stage. There's a shell in there. They're about to light it #Unity7 #UniteSeoul
