Real talk, I’m not the person you’re upset/happy with. I make podcasts and video games for a living. At the risk of making people pissed off at me instead of that other guy, the world would be a better place if we stopped answering words with violence.

We are open to interviewing more game devs!
Quote Tweet
@willsmith @sweatpantstech @bradshoemaker the techpod episode with @chetfaliszek was one of my favorites. Hope you get to interview more game devs with this openness.

We asked you what price was right for The Anacrusis to make it easy to get your friends in and play, and the overwhelming pick was $20. Effective immediately, we've dropped the price to $19.99 (or the equivalent in local currency) on all platforms. Go forth and kill some aliens!

There's less than 24 hours left to get The Anacrusis on sale! This is almost certainly going to be the lowest price we have for the game ALL YEAR LONG so grab it today (and make sure you check out the Steam Workshop for a bunch of good mod content).

Today marks the end of a wonderful year on Game Pass (Don't worry, we're still on Xbox and Microsoft Store w/ full crossplay!) If you missed our end-of-Game Pass sale on Xbox, we're still on sale on Steam for a few more days!

Worlds are colliding! For real though, we talked about what went right and wrong over the first year of release for The Anacrusis, what we're excited about going forward, and what we wish we'd done better. Worth a listen, I think :)

Because @willsmith isn’t just for weekdays anymore, I went on his and @bradshoemaker podcast to talk about @anacrusisgame and @StrayBombay. They did a great job of making me not sound stupid… or not that stupid at least… twitter.com/sweatpantstech…

If you haven't been paying attention, Twitter has been slowly restoring the accounts of the election deniers who were responsible for the January 6 insurrection, anti-vaxxers whose work directly helped the spread of COVID, and more. This is the bad place now.

Thanks everyone for making our Free Steam Weekend a huge success! The free weekend is still live til 10AM PST tomorrow, so you can still try it out. And the $9.89 sale price is the lowest price we're going to do in 2023, so if you're on the fence, buy now!

Steam is hosting a free weekend for the game I work on this weekend. I'd love for you to try out , you can play it on Steam (or if you don't have a gaming PC). It's a 4-player co-op shooter in the vein of Left 4 Dead.

We're keeping the Steam Winter Sale vibe alive with a free weekend and a continued discount. You can try The Anacrusis for free all weekend and buy it for $10 if you enjoy all the Steam Workshop content, cheevos, and hot sci-fi guns.

While other gaming companies are done with the holidays and sales. They are giving up and telling you to go back to work! We are extending the season and having a free weekend to keep the celebration going! Try it and buy it today! retweets appreciated store.steampowered.com/app/1120480/Th

The Anacrusis is still on sale for 67% off on Steam. With Steam Workshop support, Achievements, new weapons, and new monsters, there's no better time to get your friends in for some horde shootering:

If any streamers who follow me want keys for The Anacrusis to stream with friends or do giveaways or whatever, shoot me an @ message and I’ll hook you up!

I'm Barry proud of this update. It's easily the stupidest thing we've done for the game so far.
Quote Tweet
We're proud to announce with Update 23 that we've added a full set of Barry Achievements months ahead of schedule! That makes us the first Early Access title to reach full Barry 1.0 Compliance. Also, we added some holiday hats. store.steampowered.com/news/app/11204

If you want to make an impact on the current situation at Twitter, the best thing you can do is stop logging in and stop posting. There are other places to bitch about Twitter than Twitter. Yes, I realize the irony of this comment. I'm logging off now though.

But the important thing to understand about this move is how scared it is. Yes it’s a ridiculous restriction on speech from the free speech king but we know that was always bullshit. What matters more is that they are terrified of the exodus.

Some context: there’s a complicated history of dominant social platforms trying to block emergent ones. But this is typically a fight at the API level. For example Facebook blocked Twitter from “find friends” functionality in 2010. Twitter reciprocated against Instagram in 2012.

The next phase will be Twitter rolling out payments and banning people who link out to Patreon, Substack, Onlyfans, Fansly, Ghost, Twitch, YouTube, and anything else that lets people support creators they like.

The next rule will be that you can’t say anything mean about Lord Elon, first of his name, maker of supremely good decisions.

It's 100% within Musk's rights to ban whoever he wants, since he owns Twitter. The first amendment doesn't protect private speech, like Twitter. It's also 100% apparent that he's shit at running this site. You should decide how much you want your attention propping up his BS.
