Is it Super Seducer? Is it Young Stalin? NO! It is our politician-in-residence Aleksandar, speaking on how co-operatives can overcome challenges in the games industry.

A huge thank you to @the41stprecinct.bsky.social for the interview and our friends at @glasshousecrpg.bsky.social CRPG for filming.

I want to put an end to the deception and disinformation ZA/UM has been spreading about me, and finally leave this entire chapter behind once and for all. Here is what really happened on Locust City.

For the FT this weekend, I wrote about the foundation and fallout of Disco Elysium: how two Estonian novelists' successes and failures in literature led to the creation of a video game masterpiece, and an endless font of strife.

After the ZA/UM redundancies in early 2024, we hosted the hottest part of the severance package: the layoffs party!

The layoffs party had one thing that ZA/UM itself has not managed to produce in 5 years: a succesful trailer.

As promised in the pod, here's the world premiere:

Part 2 is out. This one follows a nauseating journey through the corporate headfuck panopticon, a sacrifice for old friends' sake that sealed our hero's fate, a nightmare crunch, a betrayal, and the bitter-sweet dawn of open union warfare.

We've cast the pod over at the 41st Precinct's channel -- a proper audiobook length at a staggering 16 hours!

This is a story about game making, corporate corruption, reality-distortion fields and cultic organizations, and it is just the beginning.

Fighting a malignant millionaire CEO has brought me and my family on the verge of a very real bankruptcy.

This is not a drill, I genuinely need your help. Please, take a look at my fundraiser and share it if you can.
