β€œThis doesn’t go far enough,” says Orr.

Says it’s unfathomable that Sim would not fact check such a serious claim, says he’s still considering a defamation lawsuit, says he hasn’t been told what the photo is.

β€œIs it AI?””

Sim abruptly leaves after three questions, not answering who gave him the photo or if he will post an apology on WeChat, saying saying that’s all the time he has.

A question is asked of a member of the mayors’ office, who says β€œsend us an email” and leaves.

β€œWhat a farce,” says someone.

I really loved this game. I still think about it a lot. Such a great experience. I can't believe it has been 10 years already.

It's weird because 10 years ago was when I moved to Canada. My life changed so much more than I expected.

So it feels like a long time, but so close at the same time.

The Secret IRS Files: Trove of Never-Before-Seen Records Reveal How the Wealthiest Avoid Income Tax ProPublica has obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Warren Buffett pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth β€” sometimes, ev...

We found that Jeff Bezos paid *zero* taxes in 2007 and 2011.

In fact, he reported making so little in 2011 that he even claimed and received a $4,000 tax credit for his children.

This is how he did it (published 2021):

Ashenridge is full of different kinds of fish to catch! Just find the ideal spot near a river, lake, or by the ocean and cast your rod!

Don’t forget to grab some bait from Noa’s shop, otherwise your catches might be a little… odd.

A screenshot of a Ghibli like cartoon video game called Arcane Eats, featuring a fairy with spiky blonde hair, black sunglasses, and a wicked goatee, glowing with a look of joy on his face after being served a dish. There is another fairy beside them with short orange hair and a cheeky smile, who has a thought bubble that appears to have a β€œdine and dash” symbol inside.

Survive a restaurant run and earn your fame in Arcane Eats!

Running a restaurant is HARD – you have to satisfy hangry customers, balance books, and keep the health & purity inspector at bay.

But if you can impress legendary chefs like Guy Fairy, you may finally get that 3 Mythril Star rating 🌟

ohhh yeah, I use those a lot too. I have a few libraries of "vegetable destruction" for those kind of things mostly πŸ˜†

For Little Kitty Big City, I used paper towel wet with a mixture of water, flour and tapioca flour to create the kitty's steps in cement and pain. 🐈

Grief takes a lot of different forms. Showing how loss impacted each one of our characters was as important to our story as Maya's journey itself.
Our latest blog explores how we approached telling a deeply relatable story from different perspectives. Read more at the link in our bio πŸ”—

As true indies, we also cannot afford a $1M trailer slot at #TheGameAwards

But RTs cost nothing, and they can really make a big difference for us! πŸ™Œ

If cozy collecting, farming & exploring sounds like your jam, give Collector's Cove a wishlist! πŸ’œπŸ’›

Hi! Now six months into the Switch 2 generation, I'm looking to speak to developers – from indie to AAA – about whether or not they have dev kits for the console and what developing (or not) is like for it.

Can be anonymous, if wanted! RTs appreciatedπŸ™‚

The doors to The House of Hikmah have opened, but much has yet to be revealed.

In our first in a series of blogs, we pull back to curtain to unveil just a bit about this story of grief, legacy, and loss.
