The "were" in werewolf means "man", so Sonic's normal anthropomorphic state is already a "werehog"

You'll finally be able to try HASTE: Broken Worlds next week! 🙌

We're releasing a demo on Monday the 24th of February as part of Steam Next Fest and we can't wait for you to try it! 🏃

The demo features one Shard-run from the game and a tutorial to teach you how to perfect your landings.

Thinking about Gene Wolfe on bad reviews again
There used to be a man who published a very influential fanzine, a reviewzine, and he always gave me very bad reviews. The thing that he really hated about my work was that it was different from other works and it wasn’t the kind of thing that he was used to reading. He really resented that. I would write him and say, ‘There are thousands of books of the kind that you want, which are simple straightforward stories along story-lines that you have explored often before. The shelves in every bookstore in the world are groaning under these books. There are tons of them. Why does everything have to fit that?’ He wouldn’t tell me, but eventually I realised that as long as there was one book that didn’t fit, he felt threatened by that. Not all books were familiar comfortable things. There were these strange pseudo-books that might leap out at you and bite and suddenly make you think of things that you had never thought of before, regret a missed opportunity from thirty years ago, or whatever. He was very disturbed by that and very angry at me because I try and write that kind of book. PW: It seems strange that anyone would object to novels that challenge both conventions and the reader. GW: Well, it seemed to me strange at that time but I learned that it does happen and the fact that you tell people you shouldn’t do this, you shouldn’t feel this way, doesn’t have any effect. They continue to o it and they continue to feel as they feel.

I almost recoiled at seeing the top image when looking up Saint Mark because it's digital art instead of being "historical", but actually they're both equally accurate Bible fanart

Since it's October, it's a good time to remember that there used to be a manga magazine called Monthly Halloween that routinely featured the best covers ever produced by humans.

it’s sad reading like 14th century Christian theologians who spent an inordinate amount of time writing “OK there are exactly 3,892 demons and these are their names and these are their powers”… man, you would have loved Dragonball Z

I wrote a BLOG about why this is par for the course for Unity now, and why it will never go back to being a good engine for indies:

Text that reads: "Unity is not a game engine company that also provides operating services. It is a mobile F2P services company that also provides a game engine."

Hmm yes why can’t other studios just build expertise in a genre for 21 years, growing a core fan base, then get licensed the largest IP in the genre, to make a new entry in a beloved but defunct series, with full price early access for 3 years, then release after a popular movie in the IP?
