Is it Super Seducer? Is it Young Stalin? NO! It is our politician-in-residence Aleksandar, speaking on how co-operatives can overcome challenges in the games industry.

A huge thank you to @the41stprecinct.bsky.social for the interview and our friends at @glasshousecrpg.bsky.social CRPG for filming.

Since we published our follow-up, both Argo and Dora have now publicly responded to ZA/UM's statements about them in the documentary, which they strongly reject and describe as defamatory.

And they brought a lot of screenshots too.

Argo: medium.com/@fourhundred...

Dora: medium.com/@dora.klindz...

A screenshot of Argo's Medium post, titled "The Rise and Ruin of Locust City, an all-too-Elysium Story".

A screenshot of Dora's Medium post, titled "I blew the whistle on workplace abuses at ZA/UM. In return, ZA/UM tried to defame me."

I want to put an end to the deception and disinformation ZA/UM has been spreading about me, and finally leave this entire chapter behind once and for all. Here is what really happened on Locust City.

The defamatory statements Zaum gave to PMG about myself and Dora Klindžić in the latest Disco Elysium follow-up story left me with no other choice than to disprove them with hard evidence. This is what really happened in Zaum between June 2022 and Feb 2024:

Spoilers for the Figleys Ending and the Epilogue of TSPUD.

I enjoyed playing the story - so very much.

The background:
A light blue wall and a caramel brown carpet with square patterns. A darker blue silhouette and darker brown shadow on the wall and carpet.

The foreground:
Stanley is sitting down with his back and head against the wall. He is sporting a white striped shirt, dark grey trousers and black work shoes. He is clutching a glowing yellow button which says the name “Stanley” when pressed. He has peach skin and dark brown hair. In front of him is a bucket with a rectangular white sticker with “Property of Stanley” written on it and a yellow circular sticker bearing the bucket.

The Narrator is fully yellow, holding Stanley’s right hand with his left one. He wears a collared shirt, trousers, work shoes, an arrow-shaped tie and purple rectangular glasses. There is an arrow-shaped speech bubble above him which reads: “I did enjoy telling a story - so very much”.

Correction for the Alt Text, it should say 6 sets of platforms, not 5, apologies.

cowboy flipper @whirlingincosmos.bsky.social · Jul 17

Adequately-sized trigger warning for blood and suicide. Also, major spoiler for the Zen Ending of the Stanley Parable.

I gotta go give the Narrator a hug, I’m so sorry. :(

The background:
A grey wall with blue and yellow lighting. A set of blue-grey stairs and 5 sets of platforms with dark blue handrails. The 6th platform is at the top right.

The foreground:
Stanley is standing on a blood-stained blue-grey platform, holding the dark blue handrail with his left hand and looking at his bloodied right hand. He sports a striped white shirt stained with blood, black trousers and black shoes. He is bleeding from the head, blood trickling below.

The lower left corner: “It looks like you wanted to make a choice after all. Well, this one is yours”, in yellow and capital letters, except the letter i and y. The word yours is written in the shape of an arrow pointing downwards.

No surprise, the lines used are from Wilson's Heart.

This drawing is based on a piece of fan fiction titled "Someone To Watch Me Die", written by the_northwind on AO3. The background and the rings are from said piece. It is a beautifully written story, had me sobbing at 5 am :,)

House M.D. fanart :D
#HouseMD #hilson

The foreground:
House and Wilson holding each other’s hands with both their rings visible. The rings are silver with gold in-between. House is sporting a dark brown jacket and blue shirt. He is also holding his cane. Wilson is wearing a simple shirt with his sleeves folded and a necktie. One of his hands is holding House’s face. House is coloured whereas Wilson is drawn exclusively with graphite, going from dark to light grey.

The background:
An idyllic landscape. There is a wooden cabin (along with a stone path) and some purple and orange flowers at the bottom left corner and strawberry bushes at the bottom right corner. On the right-hand side are 4 trees (dark green to light, green to yellow, yellow to green and yellow to light orange). Some grey mossy rocks lay out into the river. On the right side are autumn-themed trees (ranging from yellow, light orange, orange, red and light browns), with a log. A river flows around the page.

The text:
Top right-hand side reads ‘just a little longer’
Left-hand side reads ‘we’re always gonna want just a little longer’
Bottom right reads ‘i don’t think i can do it’

Personal things aside, this VN has it all: an amazing art style, a wholesome, well-written story and a soundtrack that you will want to listen to on repeat.

Extra waffle because Bluesky has a character limit :p

As a trans gay person, Lookouts mean a lot to me. Aside from our deurotagonists, many of the characters mirror a lot of queer experiences, some of them holding a mirror to my own. It was a wonderful and euphoric experience.

Happy Pride month :D
I thought a good way to kick off this very gay month is to draw my favourite Transmasc gay cowboy couple.
Thank you @marbleclaws.bsky.social, you have created something truly wonderful :)

Joseph and Robin hugging and holding each others hands. The background contains of a purple to pink gradient sky, orange hills and lighter orange sand decorated with rocks and tuffs of grass. A desert scene essentially.

The text on top reads: "Whatever happens to us, if I can kiss yer face at the end of the day, then everything will be alright."
The text on the bottom reads: "On a kiss and a prayer, we'll be just fine."

The same drawing but pasted on a wall.

For its fifth anniversary, I started writing about how Umurangi Generation's apocalypse story meshed with its release at the start of Covid, but immediately realized that it's somehow even more relevant now
www.inverse.com/gaming/umura...

Photography is a way of making art in Umurangi Generation, but it’s also a way of seeing. Taking a photo won’t change the world, but it will make you see it more clearly. To find your subjects, you need to consider everything around you, sometimes changing your perspective either literally by climbing around the city or by rethinking what a request could mean. You need to focus, composing the right elements into a shot that satisfies your assignment’s conditions, even when it feels pointless. The world we know is fading, maybe faster than any of us realize. It’s impossible to know what to do about that, but if making art forces us to take notice as it’s happening, there’s still a reason to keep creating before we’re all destroyed.

The writing in Disco is already something else, but this moment.. You feel the Martinaise salty ocean air blowing past you, you are in tune with the World Spirit. I love Shivers.
