PROCEMON: You Must Catch Them is now available on @Steam and @itchio !! See thread for links. PROCEMON is a procedurally-generated monster collecting game. Every monster, sprite, move, sound, and text is random. It looks & feels like someone punched a hole through your Gameboy.

If you think that genocide is an appropriate response to a massacre or that they at all comparable, you are not my friend. I'm sickened by my fellow Jews who seem to have learned nothing from a history of this being done to us. Get fucked. Free Palestine. #israel #gaza #palestine
