    It’s the light novel marketing strategy. Since everything’s online, people can’t skim the book to see if it’s their cuppa, so you have you make your pitch in the subtitle.

  • Then there were 2,000 in 2017. Now, eight years later, another milestone: 3,028 entrepreneurs, investors and heirs make up this year’s ranking, 247 more than a year ago. Not only are there more of them, but they’re richer than ever, worth $16.1 trillion in total—up nearly $2 trillion over 2024.

    The earth is a resort for 3,028 people.





  • IT pros would’ve had the opposite problem.

    R.M.: So it’s like the cover of chapter 9 of “Otherside Picnic”, where the two girls ride on a farming vehicle, and a boundless meadow is around them… You’re saying this is yuri.

    I.M.: Yes. Now remove both girls from this scenery.

    R.M.: Right.

    I.M.: A rusty, decaying vehicle is resting on top of wheel tracks.

    R.M.: Right.

    I.M.: Then you imagine that one day two girls were there… Isn’t that already totally yuri?

  • “We had multiple publishers actively coming to us,” explains Pietro, “and be like, ‘Hey, we want to make this game.’” And many of those big publishers were initially unperturbed by Steam’s ban. “The main reaction,” he recalls, “was, ‘Leave that to me… I know everyone at Valve, let me figure it out’, and so they’d take the game, and a month later they’d come back and be like, ‘No, you’re fucked. Bye.’” And seemingly nothing will get Valve to budge. “We’ve tried everything,” Pietro continues. “I was already in touch with a real human being [at Valve] since our first onboarding on Steam… but they were like, ‘I’m sorry this happened… I don’t have insights on the reasons for the ban. I’ve brought your plea to the review team and they’ve declined to re-review and their decision is final.’”

    Wtf? It sounds like someone powerful at Valve made a mistake and would rather let this studio close than admit it.

    Edit : Caught this on a re-read. Definitely sounds more sussy now.

    In the early build reviewed by Valve, day six featured a scene in which a man and his young daughter visit the farm. The daughter wants to ride one of the horses, resulting in an interactive dialogue sequence where the girl rides on the shoulders of a naked “horse” while it’s led by the player.
