It's important to have very good concept art so your production artists know what style to match. Case in point this evocative drawing from our creative director.
A finished alien-looking demonschool boss, all purple and pink, with a giant head and tentacles and things that surround the playfield. A sketch that looks like a 5 year old did it showing the same scene, with a goofy head saying "I'm huge" where the boss should be.

Wikipedia editors are debating what to call the 2025 market plunge. A single word—"crash" or "decline"—can potentially shape both market sentiment and public memory.

I think you should wishlist our upcoming point & click detective adventure game "The Mermaid Mask" on Steam, so that we can budget for a Switch 2!

To everyone in a similar scenario: the tactic my doctor's office has taught me is to ask, in writing, for:
1) the name, board specialty, and license number of the doctor making the determination the treatment was not medically necessary;

Love that our vet has these posters framed in every exam room. Scratching is natural! There are many alternatives to declawing and no reason to do it unless it is medically necessary for the cat. 🐈‍⬛
Poster that reads Cats need to scratch and mark with their claws to: • Stretch their body. • Remove the worn layer of their nail. • Maintain necessary claw motion used in hunting and climbing. • Leave visible markers to establish their territory, especially if there is concern with other cats in the household or outdoors. Best practices: • Trim your cat's nails regularly. • Provide a variety of scratchers (i.e. tall, horizontal, or angled; sisal rope, carpet, cardboard, or wood). • Place scratchers near your cat's sleeping area; in front of their preferred, yet undesirable, scratching object (e.g. corner of couch). • Ensure ample cat environmental enrichment and resources (i.e. litter boxes, sleeping areas, food & water bowls, and perches all in multiple locations). • Do not use your fingers or toes, or the wiggling of hands or feet as a toy for play. This form of play can lead to biting or scratching, and as a cat grows they will accept it as an appropriate form of play. Instead, play can be stimulated with the use of interactive toys that mimic prey, such as a toy mouse that is pulled across a floor or feathers on a wand that is waved through the air. Important to keep in mind: • If your cat continues to scratch undesired objects, it may be due to stress, anxiety, attention seeking, or feeling unsafe in their environment. • Look for any problems between other cats or household members, which might make your cat feel anxious, threatened, or territorial. Signs of conflict are subtle. If your cats never groom one another, sleep or play together, intercat conflict is likely. • Reward your cat's positive scratching immediately. • Please speak with a veterinarian or behaviorist for individualized advice. For more detailed information, visit catfriendly.com/scratching The American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) opposes elective declawing (onychectomy) of cats. Declawing entalls the amputation of a cat's third phalanx (P3), or third toe bone.

The trends in these 3 @jburnmurdoch.bsky.social charts are pretty key to understanding what's happening.

Global anti-incumbency.
Global historic inflation and immigration levels.
A shift in US non-White conservatives away from Dems to Republicans.
Every governing party facing election in a developed country this year lost vote share, the first time this has ever happened. (Chart going back to the late 40s showing the distribution of incumbent gains/losses by year.) 2024 is stark. Developed countries have undergone significant economic and social upheaval since the pandemic. (Chart showing peers of the US experience extreme increases in inflation and immigration in the last 3 years. By far the highest since the 80s.) Non-white conservatives are increasingly matching their vote choice to their ideology, shifting them toward Republicans. (Chart showing that since 2024, Black, Latino, and Asian conservatives have shifted their votes towar Republicans.)

I love this piece of animation from Blue Seed's extras - a fourth wall breaker that teaches you a bit about how animation worked in the 90s, makes you feel smart for getting it, and makes you want to learn more! Here's part 1.
