Demonschool’s Namako Is A Model Student For Showing How To Resist Bullies
Namako would likely prefer helping someone with a photojournalism class, but that doesn’t make her any less wise when it comes to bullies.
exalclaw.com
Okay so I had one more thing to talk about at Exalclaw before 2025 ended — Demonschool!! I still haven't finished the game bc I dont want to rush it, but couldn't wait to chat about Namako. She's pretty damn cool for how she's grown to handle bullying:

Hi Bsky! Restarting a fundraiser to help with survival. My issues with my bank are ongoing and it's not looking like I'm going to have my savings returned to me soon. I may even need to file a lawsuit.
Any help would be so appreciated 🖤

The last game I played for work in 2025 was Code Vein II, and it's the first game I'm writing about in 2026 for @shacknews.com. Its combat design is thoughtful and the bosses I played were stellar, but what stuck with me was how emotive the characters were, even when they didn't speak.
Code Vein 2 is a Soulslike with sauce, heart... and a fantastic character creator
Justice for Josée.

NEW—In late Feb, Chris Rufo published leaked chats between queer/trans employees at US intel agencies. Then Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said she’d fire all involved.
I spoke to chat members who were fired, are on admin leave, and who kept their jobs about the new lavender scare:
