PC Bandits,
We’re going live! If you’re up for it, you’ll want to join us 11am EDT Wed July 8th:

You don’t have to participate if you don’t feel up to it… I’m sure that Kal will be lurking only on Discord so you won’t be alone in your judgmental silence! 😉
Bratlett has kindly offered to help get anyone into the discord voice chat if they have any discord problems.
That’s right, we’re taking PC Banditry to the world on Twitch this week.

I know we’ve got a couple of Sims fans here, but did you know that the game designer was originally inspired to design the game when he lost his house to the 1991 Oakland fire. He had to rebuild it from scratch and enjoyed the challenge so much he wanted to make a game out it?
