These were great

If we ever get time or money to make it happen, we will translate! But not today, alas.

I don't read or speak even a tiny bit of Spanish so if by "together" you mean "I shout encouragement at you from a mountaintop" then yes. But if you mean "help by doing helpful things" then ... no.

Also if I ask Rysz or Rachel to redo the layout they might murder me in my sleep so we'd need someone who a) is good at layout and b) enjoys suffering.

But in principle I think translations are RAD AF.

Ugh this is EXACTLY WHY I didn't want to even have a tip option on the book

we have a tip option right now (because we're currently a banned book on a certain major online book retailer) but the tip option is a temporary thing AND we want people to just take the book and read it, if you win the lottery then buy one of our other books (Query or Cascade pls) but til then PLEASE just take the book for free 

if you don't take the book for free I will SERIOUSLY RECONSIDER having a tip option even in these troubling times

You are completely correct, that is the best kind of perogi. Tell your mom to make extra for me!

What tRaum said! But thank you ... knowing the book helps people is what we did it for.

We are so happy to hear it's being used and loved! I hope the humble egg lives up to your egg-spectations ...

:D I will try this!

Wait, wait, wait, how do you make this combination? Is it a bit like porrige with oats? I am very interested.

I use couscous like that, but I've never had semolina ... that sounds epic. Off to the grocery store! 

Well. Eventually. I'm not rushing anywhere. I am tired. :P

I'm so glad you like the book.

Thank you so much! You are very good to us.

It does! I am BLOWN AWAY by the response here on itch - I'm so glad the book is here, so many people have found it through this site!

If you want to support us financially, you're welcome to buy one of our other books (Query by Zilla Novikov, Cascade by Rachel A. Rosen), but we want to leave it free for the cookbook e-book itself. We don't want anyone to feel like they "should" contribute to us when they're reading a book about surviving late-stage capitalism. It's wonderful that people want to, since I also enjoy purchasing goods and services, but I also appreciate people looking after their own needs and needs of people in their community.

That is awesome news—Rachel & Marten & I are stunned and overwhelmed at how much people are relating to this book. And it's my favourite thing when we can inspire other communities to share recipes and survival tips!

The ebook should be free everywhere—though Amazon is janky enough that 1 person has paid for it, somehow. 

The long version of the story is that tRaum Books published my fiction novella, Query. When Rachel & I wanted to re-release The Sad Bastard Cookbook so we could make the free e-book more accessible, we asked Rysz (who runs tRaum), if he could do the updated layout. For his sins, he agreed. (Never agree to do layout on a book with arrows pointing to bits of the text. I'm surprised Rysz is still friends with me after that experience.) We were looking for places besides just Amazon to post the free e-book, since Zon is mega janky and we hate it, but most book sites don't let you publish PDF. Rysz offered to host on his Itch platform. This is a story of tRaum Books, and Rysz specifically, being rad af to his authors.

That said, I really appreciate that you are looking out for authors vanderZwan—Rysz is a gift but not every publisher is as awesome as he is.

We relate far too much to executive function fails ... and so happy we can help!!!

Thanks for enjoying our book! And it sounds like your version would have some different meals - especially if you're an omnivore - so please write it! The world needs it!

Oh man, the butter recipe brings back memories ... 

So glad you like the cookbook! And great to hear you playing around with the quantities ;)
