@modrinth.com I just went onto the Modrinth site and you've removed the versions tab? Genuinely what is this, this is a terrible decision and makes every pack developer's and casual player's lives more difficult, since there's no easy way to see older mod versions. This needs to be reverted ASAP.

This weekend we'll be putting ULTRAKILL on sale, which will be the last sale before we raise the base price to account for the new content that came in the LAYER 8: FRAUD update. Giving y'all a heads up in case you haven't bought it yet and want to get in on the lower price!

Randomly remembered my playthrough of #ChantsOfSennaar from last year and I couldn't help but cry (which I do super rarely)… As an autistic person the message is just so incredibly touching for me, I'm not sure I could explain it in words how much it means to me

Your faith shall be rewarded, believers in Pickens. The Dear Leader will bring back the lost to you, and you shall be a beacon for all those with open eyes to follow. Under the great Kevin, our cultmunnity shall rise again.

The worst thing for me as an autistic person is implied & inferred meanings. Like, if I ask you a question, that's not a demand. It's a question. If I say how I'm feeling, I mean those words and not the extra words you added in your head. People wonder why I write like I do, why I'm so precise...

Maybe I am just flawed. Just incompatible. A rose with thorns, desperately trying to wrap my vines around someone but hurting them in the process. What am I supposed to do then, though? Become defenseless, just silently suffer everything? Surely, there can be some way to work around them… I see none

I think I might suffer from emotional impermanence. Whenever I'm not actively hanging out with someone, I get really lonely, and it's especially bad when they happen to be hanging out with somebody else. At least the hurt caused by it doesn't technically stay for that long either, I guess.

It makes me so upset that I can't seem to be fully understood even by other people with autism. I thought I would be able to connect with them better, but there are still just such differences between us I feel like I don't belong. I'm dejected and don't know what to do 😞

Advertising your app/website/software whatever as "AI powered" is like advertising your restaurant as powered by rats. It makes me think you're a sleazy scumbag, and my friends and I won't touch it with a ten-foot pole. (No offense to Ratatouille)

Touch screens are boring, I miss giant buttons and dials. I want to pull a big lever to make a thing happen, I yearn to twist knobs and flip switches as steam billows from exposed brass piping.
