It is nice to see β€œNintendo suing…” and it is not an individual this time, but the US government as a whole.

Thrilled to announce that Slay the Princess has officially surpassed one million units sold!

When we started work on it, we couldn't imagine a visual novel would be able to hit such a milestone let alone being backed by critical acclaim. And yet, here we are. We couldn't have done this without you.

Promo card for the event with a matcha next to it and a little corner of a book you can’t see the title of (but it’s A Chorus Divergent). The card has the readers’ headshots on it & it’s important to note that Sam’s includes a dinosaur. Also this isn’t indicated by anything in the photo, but the matcha latte was made by M. M. Olivas. Yes, that M. M. Olivas. It also want my matcha, she insisted on making another one for this because mine wasn’t pretty enough, so this one went to a different customer who was very good humored about the whole thing.

Well friends, perhaps I've done it, perhaps, I - finally - have become aware that, in fact, I was meant for more than manifesting of the will of others and should, in turn, manifest my own.

While I am using this meme, I, at first, truly read WASP as an acroynm and not wasp, as the flying menace of terror and horror

Best movie I’ve watched by far. It was amazing in theatre so I hope they do another run.
