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.

A lot of modern internet discourse feels like people grew up watching YouTubers who exaggerate everything for engagement and thought that was how you're supposed to behave

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

One of the most freeing things for me as an activist was learning to disregard the commentaries of other "activists" whose entire personality was to find anything you were doing and poke a hole in it because why not.

We need to stop clinging so hard to parasocial relationships. We need to start treasuring the people who actually interact with us, and are willing to do so on our own terms, with integrity and respect, not just because they have talent of some kind.

Congrats to everyone that got in, and looking forward to Feb!

I got a chance to play a SUUUUUUUUUUUUPER early build of this and am excited to see that its being received well! Congrats to @brandon.insertcredit.com and others on the release!
Rough edges are smoothed out by colorful characters, fun side content, and an interesting take on tactical combat.
Demonschool channels Buffy and Persona for delightfully demonic RPG action
More than its influences.

I can understand asking for nuance in these discussions, but deliberately muddying the water by bringing up automation tools that people understand are not generative AI and asking for a middle ground is disingenuous. The nuanced position is that people are roundly rejecting the tech, respect that.
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

Holding space for the Black speedrunning community and ensuring we get adequate representation and access to opportunities is why I'm here!
And I'm glad that it helped encourage others to do the same 🙂
Someone gotta be there for us.

I think @pleasantlytwstd.blacksky.app's work for and with @blackinaflash.bsky.social has done an immeasurable amount of good for showcasing and uplifting Black speedrunners and gamers. They've also paved the way for other people of color (like myself) to be more visible in our spaces too 💜
Because I just got emotional watching a thing, I'm going to inflict this emotion on everyone else: Please RT this and shout out someone whose work is important to you. Don't wait to praise our best until they're gone. Give them their flowers while they can hear it and know they're appreciated.

Any and every problem you want to resolve in this trash heap of a country cannot and will not be resolved until you confront the racism attached to it.
It is always. Rooted. In racism.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
