Fellow Texans: verify that your voter registration hasn't been suspended without your knowledge. I just double-checked mine following a link in the article; it took all of 1 minute. Make sure your voice can be heard in November.

Now that the Steam playtest for Unholy Roller is out, I can finally talk about what I’ve been working on this summer! There’s a lot I could say about every new feature and visual upgrade in this version, but I’ll just go over the highlights. 🧵1/5

What if I just started unceremoniously dumping lore and world building.
What if I made stories with details I'm not sure about?
What if I post stuff that will later be incorrect. Non-canon. Discarded. Updated.
Sounds like more fun than waiting until I'm sure.

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking.
I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

Like, c'monnn: it costs nothing to encourage others! Even if their art/writing/game/whatever isn't technically impressive! Even if it's amateurish!
