Big reminder that Good Game No Rematch is on sale for more than half off on Amazon right now for their Black Friday sale.
Perfect for anyone you know who loves video games. Or if you’re vaguely aware that a family member enjoys technology and jokes, it’s a decent swing.

As part of his bold new vision for Canada, Avi Lewis, the progressive vying to lead the New Democratic Party, has proposed a series of "public options" for everything from groceries to telecoms to banking to address the nation's cost-of-living crisis.
NDP Candidate Avi Lewis Calls for 'Public Options' to Fight High Costs of Groceries, Housing, and Telecoms in Canada

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.
