Hey good people!
I've been M.I.A. for a bit. I've been working on my CS Degree while job hunting
My laptop is on its last legs and I could use some help covering my final term. A friend made me this fundraiser

Indie means we’ve got a new Steam publisher page!

Well, well, well…
For the record, the whole “Covid will evolve to become milder & more benign over time” thing was always a lie.
This raises a lot of concerning questions. I would like to once again point out we have no idea what we are doing.
This is a very interesting study from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. It suggests that SARS-CoV-2 may be evolving in a way that makes it increasingly difficult for the human immune system to recognize the virus in the first place—not simply harder for existing antibodies to neutralize it.
So now one has to wonder whether if fewer naïve human B cells can recognize an evolved virus, will the vaccines even work? Will they have a difficult time recruiting genuinely new B-cell specificities?
Doesn't this seem like an issue worth considering @FDADrugs @FDA @CDC @NIHDirector_Jay?

Thank you to all of the courageous people out there who continue to mask, even when it’s not the popular choice!

So when we talk about covid being a vascular virus and not a respiratory virus, this is what we mean...

Ventilation at @newyorkcomiccon is super insufficient for the crowd this year. COVID and other pathogens are spreading. We need safer #IndoorAir. Take precautions. @MsJulieSLam at #NYCC #MaskTogetherAmerica
“Heroes who wear masks: I’m looking for you!” @MsJulieSLam #MaskTogetherAmerica is at 2026 @NewYorkComicCon. “I wear a mask because I don’t want to get COVID.”— CS (Nott the Brave) said it for all of us. A mask protects you from all the pathogens spreading in the air! #IAmNYCC

If you’re still wearing a mask, thank you.
Please know you’re not alone.
Many of us still mask, test and isolate when sick.
Being the lone masker can be difficult, but your long term health is worth it.
As a high risk, immunocompromised person… I see and appreciate you.

You know people don’t like to admit this but older cartoons they grew up with were woke and discussed social issues like this and were very on the nose about it

Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working.
I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.
