For years and years we've been developing in this cave knowing we have no connections to the very incestuous and closed industry of gaming. There are legions of astroturfed journalists, a cult of gamedevs all drinking their own Kool Aid and throttling the algorythms and gatekeeping storefronts and searches, with sycophants on every corner of social media to force others to conform for any chance at relevancy or to eek out a profit.

Now at the very onset of the winds beginning to turn, we're disavowing all the grifters and astroturfers that suddenly emerged on the other side looking to subvert all the nourishment to their asses.

FFS, I thought there would be at least a small window where we could just worry about making good games, and not have self serving assholes insert themselves and start manhandling all the clout and visibility.

Such is the way of things. Oh well. All you can do is laugh to stop from feeling melancholy.

People fall over themselves to placate the most subversive and self serving people on any side, it's all a charade. All the claims of giving a damn about gaming, the industry, or culture are all bullshit. Everyone's just in it for themselves and they will suppress and cut down everyone around them regardless of their character or ability.

There are 2 kinds of people in this world. Those playing their bullshit games, their personality cults, their lies, half truths and manipulations to ensure they never have to get down and get some work done, develop character, get some hard earned progress, learn some hard earned lessons, and everyone who has to grovel at their feet for a chance to break their backs for 'em.

The soft handed assholes swoop in and suck up all the nourishment from the fields as everything withers and dies. The world goes on spinnin' as us monkeys fling refuse at one another, oblivious to the cold reality of our own nature.

Blah blah bitch moan.

Gettin' to work soon. It's all there is to do anyhow for stubborn neckbeards like us.

I know what I know

I'll sing what I said

We come and we go

That's a thing that I keep in the back of my head
