Yeah my bad on Betterhelp, fuck em. Taking that video down, will post something later with them edited out.

Wasn't aware of the March 2023 FTC update at the time of signing that contract, and was rather foolishly unaware of drama due to their presence in a number of channels that I watch (Jonny Harris, for example).

Thanks to your support over the years, our game launches on Friday. To be honest, I wasn’t sure we’d ever make it.

Early on, we almost completely destroyed any chance we had at making video games. Here’s the story of how we narrowly scraped through.

Wishlist our game today, and pick it up on Friday!  https://bit.ly/TPB_Steam
