[h2]And so, Techbane, after playing for a good few hours, felt the overwhelming urge to go to the store page and gush about Pit People with a positive review.[/h2] Well. Sort of, I guess? There's a lot to like here, it's just that the way it's all presented-- [h2]I SAID, after sampling the delectable splendor on display, mmyes, the product of so much bear blood, sweat, and tears, Techbane went to the store page and left a POSITIVE REVIEW.[/h2] It's kind of amazing but I don't know what the hell is going on half the time, and it'd have been so simple to-- [h1]OOPS!!!

C'mon Behemoth! Where's that Update 8 you teased!?

why is the final boss easier than the average enemy encounter? 10/10 would shank a bear in the nips again
