With Australian games media on its knees, a new magazine is trying to keep a scene alive:

a common thing autistic people deal with is the "I don't care that 'everyone' does it this way, that way is bullshit and I'm not doing it"

And that applies just as much to gender as it does to operating systems

Artists famously do not care about the quality of their work and regularly tell their collaborators that their part "doesn't have to be anything special"

I have always found the "oh just make a tune it's nothing special" meme for talking about cool game soundtracks to be fucking weird and offputting

NOTHING SPECIAL?! I think the phone call went more like "as you know Vergil is an extremely important and beloved character of this franchise. He needs a song to match."

I was standing at my local DΓΆner shop here in Berlin the other day, waiting for my order, when it hit me: A DΓΆner (plus a Coke) costs roughly what Tackle for Loss does here in Euro.

That felt right for Berlin. But it made me wonder: Is that "DΓΆner-Equity" the same everywhere else?

I started chatting with players from all over the world, and it turns out that Valve’s default currency conversion doesn't feel fair in my opinion. I don't want the game to be a luxury investment.

So, I’ve manually adjusted the prices to make things more fair:

    For my players in Turkey and the Middle East: I’ve reduced the price by 36%. It should now cost about the same as a solid chicken kebab, and yeah, I’m talking the luxury version with extra sauce and a coke.

    In Eastern Europe and CIS countries (like Ukraine or Kazakhstan): Prices are down by 32%.

    Across Latin America: You’ll see a price drop of about 28%.

    In South Asia (including India and Pakistan): I've reduced it by 23%.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped me figure this out. Admittedly I’ve made some of these calls based on gut feeling, so if your local experience tells you something else, hit me up and share your perspective.

The hearts are one reason you'll want to use the real wigglypaint and not one of the ripoff reuploads, since they're all stuck on version 1.3 for whatever reason.
