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.

“Actually, it isn’t a ‘house fire’ until at least 51% of the floor plan is in flames. Ideally half the rooms or more. Before that it’s only ‘architectural burning with house fire architectural characteristics.’”
My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is.
So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.
If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1

Ben Kahn Is Taking The Game To The Next Level With ‘Renegade Royale’
Back in 2021, Dark Horse released Renegade Rule, by Ben Kahn and Rachel Silverstein, with art by Sam Beck. The book went on to be a hit, GLAAD-nominated, and a unique -- and fun! -- look at VR esports that ended with a surprise twist that you don't usually see in sports fiction. Cut to 2025, and the team is at it again with another round in…

I know this is pedantic, but Kim Davis was not "jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses." She was jailed for contempt of court because she refused to follow a court order (she had stopped issuing all marriage licenses). NYT makes it sound like the Woke Police broke down her door.

One of my favorite groups dropping a Tiny Desk is a great way to start the week. This setup is wild!
In February, @subpop.bsky.social came to me with an idea that I found hard to resist: @clppng.bsky.social wanted to play the Tiny Desk, like, ON the actual desk... with MIDI-controlled robots striking coffee mugs and shaking paper clips.
It's finally here.

And I'm tired of people assuming it was us because that's what they'd do if they were treated how they treat us.
