"As with Thirsty Suitors, this is an overt and chewy piece of social commentary, exploring the usurpation of communal cooking and eating by mass-produced ready meals."

And we still manage to focus on the joy of living, joy of healing, joy of connecting, and joy of expression through play.

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.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

“In front of the entire world, they tried to make others believe I was a bad mother,” she said. “They failed my family, they failed my son, they failed me, and they’re failing all of us.”

This breaks my heart. 💔
Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

If you want to help uterus-havers and friends, might I suggest playing the PC version of This is Normal, free on Steam? store.steampowered.com/app/2825000/... Played already? Consider leaving a nice review as there's not many, and the rating is being dragged down by anti-abortion reviews.
This is Normal on Steam
An educational game that teaches about Self Managed Abortion.

If you're enjoying Demonschool, please review it on your platform of choice! We would love to reach 500 reviews by the end of the month on Steam, especially. If we can achieve that goal we will put something very stupid into the game for you all as a reward......

On the day the House of Representatives voted to denounce the "horrors of socialism," here's a small thread of Trump just absolutely loving Mamdani. What a wild time we live in.

Reporter: Are you affirming that you think the president is a fascist?

Mamdani: I've spoken about --

Trump: Just say yes, it's easier than explaining.

Going to end on one of the most beautiful commercials ever made with the reminder and a call to remember the small things. They make a big difference to others.

I'm glad this story is out there. I got to learn about lot of this over the years hanging out with the AdHoc crew and so happy for their success after years of grinding.
NEW: the new game Dispatch is a huge hit (1 million copies!). But few people know how close it came to never existing.

Here's the wild story, from a canceled Splinter Cell game (scoop!) to a Telltale divorce to the founders not taking paychecks for six months: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
The Turbulent, Seven-Year Saga Behind Hit Game ‘Dispatch’
The narrative, superhero game starring Aaron Paul of ‘Breaking Bad’ sold 1 million copies in the 10 days following its Oct. 22 release

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

It's been a bleak year and while I'm hopeful things will get better, I will hold onto to these moments like today as an immigrant winning New York in spite of all the odds and big money opposition from within his own political party. 🙏

oh just straight up gutter racism!
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

My time at Outerloop has come to a close. Easily one of the best gigs I've ever had! Next year Dosa Divas drops with jams from yours truly so stay tuned.

In the meantime I'm open for work! I've worked on titles such as Boyfriend Dungeon and Thirsty Suitors, so lets talk!
