You are not a "boomer" if you aren't in your twenties. You are not irrelevant if you aren't in your twenties. You don't go straight from being a kid to being "old". Stages of life are fluid and vary for each person, and should be savored to the fullest of your means to do so.

Stop letting internet memes about age, height, and general state of being have an actual impact on your mental health. They mean nothing, and don't benefit you in any material way.

edit 1 part 1: this is the worst comment section I've even seen in any Hexbear thread in all my years, except for @[email protected] who is as always the best of us

edit 1 part 2: generationalism is also made up, don't let people put you into boxes and further don't put yourself into a box that someone else made up for you

Hello Hexbear! Though I have never left the site and have been posting alongside you all (federation has been incredibly entertaining for good and for bad reasons), I am now going to make yet another Kor-related post! For anyone who doesn't have context, about a year and a half ago I released an indie RPG called Kor and eagerly shared it with my favorite community on the interwebs, to very kind reception.

And for the first time ever, I'm going to a convention this weekend to share the game in-person. There will be a booth with a demo, some modest displays, and I'll be there to talk to people about it.

Why the heck am I telling you guys this? Well, basically to ask a little favor! I need to spruce up my game as much as I can! So... if you bought Kor on Steam at any point, and you never reviewed it, it would help me immensely if you went and gave it a little positive review. It doesn't have to be depthful or meaningful, it can be a joke, or literally anything, I just need to get the positive number as high as I can. Anything helps when you're not a beast with a thousand maws like Activision or whatever.

As always, if anyone wants to play my game but can't afford it, DM me and I'll try to get you a steam key to play it for free!

The dasher app is coded to drop you from contention for higher paying orders if your average rating is less than 4.7 stars.

Idk who even needs to hear this but seems like an important thing for anyone using doordash to know.

Are people like me - for whom every moment spent thinking about the need for money is a moment spent in anguish - just not supposed to exist?

Apparently the question asked was: "What do I do if my girlfriend is dumb?"

My jaw dropped multiple times reading this. Just holy shit, dude. I felt like the only way to regain any sanity afterwards was to share it here to let Hexbear roast this loser.

I am genuinely concerned it's going to look too good compared to every other asset and make the rest of the game look bad

Goadstool says Trans Rights :trans-heart:

Super overdue actually, it should not have taken me this long since the idea has been on my mind for a while now. Also the palette actually looks amazing, just aesthetically better than I imagined, and I'm not even usually a huge fan of pastel colors.

I love my trans comrades - you are all valid, and I hope to honor you with this small display of my support by bathing my creation in your colors.

*aaaa thank you mods for the pin. You guys are way too nice to me.

First of all, I want to say thank you to everyone here for being so supportive. When I originally reached out to Wmill about making a post in c/games, I just wanted to see if it was okay to share my game here. Even though you guys have always been very supportive, I never expected this much.

I also want all of you to know that every person who plays my game is literally helping me survive. In a few months, I may or may not be housing insecure depending on how this goes, so if enough people check it out I might actually be able to afford things this year like being able to pay rent, or even luxuries like going to the dentist. That's how much of an impact your support will have on my life.

But ultimately, even if only a modest sum of people actually like my game, I will be able to consider that a triumph no matter what happens. Being able to afford to live is real swell, but ultimately I did this because I felt that I needed to - that it was the only thing I could even stand to do with my time. To quote David Graeber again from a comment I made a few days ago: "Freedom is our ability to make things up just for the sake of being able to do so."

So you can get Kor on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1374280/Kor/

A few people mentioned that they hated Steam, so I went to the effort to get it listed on itch.io as well: https://goadstool.itch.io/kor

Some said they wanted to help out more than just buying the game, so I will say that itch.io lets you name your own price for a game, though I certainly don't expect anyone to pay more than the minimum! It's also a dollar off at launch, to sync up with the Steam Winter sale. If you do end up playing Kor though, and enjoy it at all, please do me a favor and give it a little positive review; it encourages randos to give the game a chance and makes it more favorable in Steam's algorithm.

So lastly I'm going to say thank you again everyone for even caring about my work at all. Obviously I'm going to be scanning this thread all day while I work Twitter (and maybe :reddit-logo: even) so feel free to ask me anything about development or my experience or whatever, this will be my own little launch party! I think I'll even have a pizza, with spinach and mushrooms :party-blob:

(Also if you happen to find any real bugs or if the game crashes, please don't hesitate to let me know with a screenshot and I will rush to fix them right away)

Wtf the post has 200 upbears! :mao-clap:
