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'm so cooked i forgot the word "open world" and was trying to describe the kind of game i wanted to play while couch rotting and i said "you know...the kind of game where i can just wander and do side quests and ignore the main story for a while...wanderslop"

people are going “well tech companies don’t deserve trust”. I’m not saying to trust them! fuck them! I’m saying “you need to be able to evaluate if something is even *technically possible* & most places are failing at helping you do that”. not a surprising missing of the point but doesn’t bode well.
The “google is using your email to train AI” debacle is imo most instructively seen as tracer dye for multiple failures: many people are instinctively skeptical of tech companies now; and many outlets that should have had experts able to cogently weigh in and go “wait a minute” simply don’t anymore.

Here’s the coming-out letter I shared with my friends and family on Facebook eight years ago. Maybe something in there will resonate for you. True story at the end there.

video game narratives come in two kinds: cold unsparing randomness, and button you press to hit yourself. Pathologic? hit-yourself. Fallen London? hit-yourself. Unfair Flips? unsparing randomness. In spite of literally giving you the option to hit yourself, Disco Elysium is unsparing randomness.

There is no acceptable sacrificial lamb to appease purity culture. Whatever weird little pervert you are personally icked by should not be collateral damage in a discussion where, essentially, banks are vying to be the arbiters of morality so they can decide whose dirty evil money they get to pocket

Create NSFW art

Porn is not evil, sex is not abhorrent, pleasure is not a crime

Even if you don't agree with all kinks doesn't mean they should be allowed to censor art

This is why we have tags and the blick button, not megacorps deciding what we can and cannot like

Always resist oppression

It's Pride Month.
Find a corner in which to be a real, true force, and keep at it against this disgusting effort to erase people.

I may be Tom Bombapilled.

There's something charming about our heroes meeting a nature spirit, and having him be a longwinded old stoner. Tom Bombadil is the song the Middle Earth sings, because it is, at its heart, a very silly place.

Wedding cake made to look like some of our favorite books, with cake toppers my better half made herself of me as a Roman senator and her as a medieval lady (plus a Companion Cube; we played a lot of Portal).
