You can unlock this game in Demonschool. It's our bid to become even more of a Yakuza-like, rereleasing our older games in our newer ones.

Let's talk about the late great Becky Heineman and some hidden easter eggs! I grew up playing her games (Bard's Tale!) and her impossible Apple IIGS ports (Out of this World, Wolfenstein 3D!). I remember getting to interview her when I was reviewing her IIGS remake of Ultima I...

The 1/2 last toast from the legend herself:

Valhalla really really reeked of beer, but Jennell seems happy

The other angels are tired of me saying “fight for the other users” while throwing my halo around

As a 90s teen, I knew her for those Sailor Ranko fanfics I enjoyed.

In college, I learned that she was brilliant in that video game world I aspired to be part of.

We never met, but thank you for being an inspiration.

Here's to a great fan and a hell of a programmer.

Demonschool's soundtrack by @icechoir.bsky.social is extremely extremely good, and there's a bandcamp page up now with two tracks to preview! It's 37 tracks, almost 2 hours of music with 70s-appropriate synthesizers. You'll also be able to buy it on steam. kurtfeldman.bandcamp.com/album/demons...

Prior to this week, you could only listen to the most recent music I've released by visiting Walkabout Coffee in Jimbocho, Tokyo.

Now you can listen to the album online! music.apple.com/us/album/wal...

(I still highly recommend stopping by the cafe for fine cup of coffee if you're in the area.)

Sigh. I got the results from the cat scan yesterday. My right lung has a membrane that's normally the thickness of plastic wrap. It's current 1cm to 2cm thick. That's the tumor. I’ll be setting up a gofundme to help with my medical bills
