This absolutely rules and should be the template going forward for everyone.
We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

I know I’m at the center of the diagram of people who enjoy Shakespeare, Sailor Moon, and RPGs - but way more of you should have played This Way Madness Lies.
It’s a fantastic little gem with enough accessibility options that *anyone* can play and enjoy it.

This Way Madness Lies is a great game and barely anybody bought it. It should be played by more people. If everybody here on @bsky.app banded together and bought a Steam copy and played it, well, that'd be a miracle and I would be forever grateful.

Okay, in fairness, this is only my own work and not the result of a conference. But in unfairness: I thought it would be funniest to just plant this flag as soon as possible.

I spent so much time in Marvel’s Deadpool VR having nonstop “Deadpool jokes” pumped directly into my ear that I started to see the very predictable anatomy of a “Deadpool joke.” So here is a cursed review of Marvel’s Deadpool VR. www.polygon.com/marvels-dead...

CBT stands for Crash Bandicoot Therapy. It's when you imagine Crash Bandicoot spinning all your automatic negative thoughts and cognitive distortions away.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Useful for Cuomo to say that this was an election about the future identity of the Democratic Party in his concession speech. You know. Because he lost.
