I seem to remember back when shorts came out people mentioning they didn't pay almost at all. Is that still the case?

I make lists about Latin American games: https://backloggd.com/u/Teodomo/lists/recent/ to help promote them to English speakers. Had a little comic book store, organized geek cons, occasional GM, interested in video game history, literature teacher.

It's crazy to read this the same day I'm doing official teachers' sensibility courses from my country that explicitly say the opposite from like 80% of those points. And we are under a right-wing gov that's rlly trying to dismantle all that rn! It's just that they don't have that much power to do it
I wonder if they kinda saw them somewhat as hiragana and katakana. As in "a % of people might be able to read one but not the other". Which, technically correct
Same happened to me! lol
You're my ESL inspiration. Writing is one thing, elegantly reading out loud without too many distracting pronunciations of random words is often next level for ESLs, but your fluency even in improvized, live settings never ceases to astound me. While at the same time saying stuff w/substance.
Trying to imagine what goes through the mind of a person generating this. Do they see themselves as a deceiver for a righteous cause? Or as someone smugly "hacking" humanity into their bidding? Do they trick themselves that they are just facilitating "lost visuals" for "stuff that surely happened"?
Now that 2025 is almost over and Steam has clarified some of the release dates, the Upcoming Games list is looking cleaner: backloggd.com/u/Teodomo/li... (Pls let me know if I'm missing games or if some moved their dates and I didn't realize)
We released a new short visual novel for the Winter VN Jam 2025, A Curse of Snow!
Meet an alluring Snow Queen after running away from your wedding. As far as you know, this is the first youβve met, but her tone is all-too familiar.

Here's the medieval horror game I was creating in September. Unfortunately, I no longer felt like continuing this project, so to avoid it being a completely wasted effort, I posted a demo version on itch so people can explore the maps.

There is a mention to JJ in the credits due to the writing remaining unchanged from Roottrees 2023 to Roottrees 2025 or at least that is my understanding from what I read on an article earlier this year when it came out.
Well, I don't really mind whether it gets branded the same as E33, I have no idols to defend but AFAIK "they" didn't share a continuous workflow: they weren't even the same people. JJ made Roottrees 2023 and some time later Evil Trout asked for permission to remake it.
Brave lo usΓ© por unos meses hace aΓ±os. Viste la pΓ‘gina de inicio personalizada, donde uno pinea links a sus sitios favoritos/mΓ‘s usados? Brave constantemente me agregaba links a sitios de criptomonedas random o de apuestas. Por mΓ‘s que los borraba, al dΓa o dos aparecΓan otros
For the Roottrees thing, I wonder if the IGA didn't know or if they just considered the original 2023 jam game by Jeremy Johnston a different game than the 2025 remake by Evil Trout which fully changed UI and art while preserving the original's writing (and adding enhancements and an expansion)
Screenshot reads: In a crowded indie scene full of classic βboomer shooters,β developer Vikintor and co-developer Luna Ay take a very different path with VALβTY. This short retro-style FPS avoids many genre habits and instead focuses on strange ideas. Inspired by late 1990s and early 2000s cult shooters like MDK, Turok, and Chasm: The Rift, the game feels familiar at first, yet quickly turns into something far more unusual. You can find the game on Steam. Players step into the role of Valβty, a 46-year-old mother from the Valtian species, a ruthless reptilian race that already exists in Vikintorβs wider universe. The story follows Valβty and her small daughter as they try to destroy a huge human-made machine meant to βtameβ wild aliens and turn them into obedient workers. Instead of pushing you down a straight path, VALβTY uses a hub-based structure that rewards curiosity. After unlocking the main hub, you can choose which levels to play and return later to improve scores or search for hidden upgrades. Valβtyβs daughter is also always close by, but she is not a burden. She can be called in at any time to reach secret spots or help solve puzzles, avoiding the usual frustration found in escort missions. Combat is built around a single weapon, the Valβtygun, keeping fights tight and focused. This gun includes both a precise sniper mode and a powerful grenade launcher, asking you to fully master one tool instead of switching between many weapons. Outside of combat, the game leans into its playful and experimental side. Players can dance on city floors or ride the Valβtyboard, a movement system inspired by classic skateboarding games that adds speed and style to exploration.
yep
