Wait heart machine's next project is being published by devolver? And they're laying off their staff weeks before release? I feel like a huge publisher with very new and shiny Ball x Pit money should be expected to ensure teams they work with remain intact, at least until launch, no?

The mighty Snakipede forces you to make words that contain the letter S! Sadly, he was no match for "VOLUPTUOUS"

Tomb of the Bloodletter is filled with dozens of punnily-named enemies, but I think this is my crowning achievement

So many "creators" are acting like resisting the pull of the AI slop machine is some Herculean task, and it's starting to drive me insane. This shit didn't even exist a few years ago! How did you survive then??
