So I am doing a little #gamedev protest, I put Moving Houses on the Epic Games Store in the HOPE that if enough #indiedev's join, maybe Valve takes notice and lowers their GIGANTIC CUT a little bit.
But I need your help to wishlist, share, and make some noise. Purchase is nice, but I'm not doing it for the money. Just to raise awareness.
BUT, that said, I put the game 40% off, which is it's deepest discount yet!

Here's a statement from Valve on the reported Steam data breach https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/05/heres-a-statement-from-valve-on-the-reported-steam-data-breach/
Here's Valve's official statement regarding the "data breach". Some mobile phone numbers were exposed. Turns out the "2FA keys" were some one-time codes that were already useless at the time they were stolen.
tl;dr You do not need to change your password or anything else, it would not be of any more use then on any other day. However, since you are now already thinking about security, it's a good time to use a better password if you use one that you use elsewhere. https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/533224478739530146

Anyway you ever have like 4 separate things causing anxiety and then a 5th one pops up and slots right in the middle like a hub and spokes kinda thing connecting them all together into a giant anxiety wheel? It's real fucking good lemme tell ya
Very cool that 2024 was so stressful I developed a stutter even though I've never had that issue before and now when I get very stressed out it comes back temporarily
Your occasional reminder that if you have an ancestor who was a Canadian citizen (could be really far back, doesn't have to be recent!) you can get a Canadian citizenship grant right now.
You have to apply to qualify, and this is TEMPORARY MEASURE. There will be a new law eventually which might make you a citizen, or might take away this option altogether. Don't wait.
Twilio just confirmed to me they were not involved in the breach as has been said elsewhere. Now just waiting on a reply from Valve.
Q&A from a talk I gave last week.
Q: "What do you think is the biggest threat in cybersecurity right now? Is it post-quantum computing? Is it AI?"
A: Fascism. It's fascism.
i don't know why people get confused about [confusing topic] so often. it's literally just [straightfoward rule], unless [extremely common condition], in which case you just [counterintuitive transformation] or [inexplicably different pattern] depending on [obscure property]. it's like [overused analogy] except [exception that makes the analogy useless].
Which do you most often use to drive screws?
