As the administration goes all in on an alternate reality about portland that bears no resemblance to fact and rule of law, continuing radical (and just plain funny, ridiculing) acts of the imagination along with other ways of getting out the reality on the ground may help curb their momentum.

Wrote the bulk of my master's thesis in a 24-hour haze of caffeine, NIN, Nitzer Ebb, Lords of Acid, and KMFDM, with X-Files/MST3K/Weather Channel on a TV for company. Thesis passed on a first committee review. Gen AI would've been crying in a corner, shouting "Game Over, man" by Hour 4.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

While I'm struggling to finish the trailer for my next game, it's nice to see people still discovering Vampire Therapist's odd charms. :)

If you've played and haven't reviewed on Steam, please do so -- it helps us out a ton!

It's officially spooky season, but what if you want a little guidance to ease you into it? Like a therapist, maybe. Or a therapist who happens to bring their own holiday season flair by coincidentally being a vampire. But where in the indie game could we find something like a vampire therapist?

Ease yourself into the Halloween season with a therapist who happens to be a vampire in Vampire Therapist

I am a huge fan of all things horror, from brooding and creepy to extreme gore that borders on parody, but sometimes during Halloween month, you have to ea

It's amazing how they keep doing it and still squander the potential. It's like going in to a driver's exam every time and failing to start the car. Just, what are you doing here?

I love the Reconstruction idea. I had a dream AC game set in the Jazz Age/Depression about a cat burglar fighting inequality and rising fascism in NYC. I can only imagine there are so many people at Ubi who had killer ideas for AC games that were boxed out by suits.

This is in every dystopian film, right? It's practically a cyberpunk punchline at this point. It's only missing the "Type in your Gold Status Number for express service" bit.
