Horizon's Gate is something I never dared to dream could exist: a loving homage to the 1993 SNES sailing sim/strategy/rpg Uncharted Waters 2: New Horizons. That game is one of my all-time favorites, and Horizon's Gate is a modernization with the welcome addition of first-class turn-based-tactical battles.

Hello.

It's my birthday today. Boost this!

And send me your donation receipt, I will make you a 10-song themed playlist on the streaming service of your choosing.

Every $10+ donation submitted within that time will get a playlist.

Yes.

"On Monday, workers say they will refuse to accept orders until Instacart provides hazard pay of an additional $5 an order, free safety gear (hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, and soap) to workers, and expands its paid sick leave to include workers with pre-existing conditions who have been advised by their doctors not to work at this time. Workers say the strike will last until Instacart agrees to these terms."
