These guys. Hoods and cowls plus lightning works every time. Formative in that I never learned to draw faces properly. Why bother?

I love this analytical take on video game categorization from Antoine Mayerowitz and Julie Belzanne:
hushcrasher.substack.com/p/taxonomy-o...
Instead of trying to vibe-intuit the definition of an "indie" game, the authors analyzed the data from the perspective of game size and credits length

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

It Takes Two tries to tell the story of a couple reuniting for their daughter but the lesson I took from it was "some people really should not have children". Some good ideas but grotesquely annoying characters and very weird tone. Curious for Split Fiction, but not very hopeful tbh.
Oh the Split Fiction embargo is up. I've really enjoyed what I've played so far, but it does feel like a lateral, perhaps less interesting, move from It Takes Two's premise. Still very good, but instead of following a divorcing, bickering couple, you follow two incredibly obnoxious people.

I really don't understand the decision behind Duolingo trying to paint their cute owl mascot as some kind of mafia villain that comes after you for making mistakes. Why? This is an app to make learning languages fun! It doesn't need that edgy nonsense.
