Doing an Animorphs re-read book club with @gyro.bsky.social because Tobias rewired my brain as a kid, but I was not prepared for just how *immediately* that kid was cooked. This is in book one, and he’s been a hawk like 2-3 times tops by this point. He’ll be one permanently by the end of the book.

demonschool credits all 145 people who touched the game over the course of its multi-year dev cycle AND explains what exactly they contributed. the rest of the games industry, which commonly omits people from credits entirely, should be taking notes
![“We worked [on Hyper Gunsport] with a localization company that refused to give the names of the people that actually did the work; they just wanted to have their company name in there,” Sheffield said. “They say they do that because ‘It's the standard’ and ‘to avoid poaching’ or whatever, but I hate that and think it's total BS. … I've also seen a lot of folks complain about how they weren't credited on a game because they'd left the studio before the game they worked on was finished. And indeed, our lead 3D artist left two years ago. But he's still the first artist credited because he set the style and visual tone for a lot of the game. Not working on the game to the very end doesn't negate the work he did.”
The more Sheffield thought about how to meet the needs of so many different types of contributors – and discussed the matter on social media – the more a comprehensive, detail-oriented approach to crediting started to make sense.
“That had all been percolating in the back of my mind as we got close to finishing, and then it just sort of hit me as it came time for me to write the credits,” he said. “I discussed this approach with the team and everyone was fine with it, so we just went for it. We always want to credit everyone that touched the game, so even though the core team was 7 or 8 people at any given time, we credited around 145 people in Demonschool. Who cares if it's a lot of people? Who cares if it's long? They all did something and they deserve credit. And you basically can tell who the core team was by reading the descriptions. None of us are precious about that anyway.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreibksibak2xsgvbrid7evym3utz6yzfccilowfs7apv7b2sddssd3q@jpeg)

Last night in Shining Force CD, we obtained Claude the B-Daman, who is now the unofficial leader of the Force by dint of being a cool bird man. I was also glad to see Stock join, because what I want is a centaur with a ballista if you know what I mean. Let's see who shows up next! 9:30 PM Eastern.

I would legit just check some college film courses for some 19 year old with a dozen shelves of script binders and endless glorious optimism and I'd bankroll whatever effects budget they asked for.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

I'm back babies and I'm fully charged. Gone are my flu symptoms, save some lingering throat discomfort, and that means I'm all powered up and ready for Shining Force CD to pull my robe over my head, bundle me up into a ball and huck me into the river to die. Let's watch that happen, 9:30 PM Eastern.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Actually in the Defunctland video there is quote that Walt told Imagineer Marty Sklar near the end of Walt's life that is very, very relevant.

the problem with modern fantasy movies is that they stopped having bizarre plot detours where the hero encounters a fucked-up practical effect creature with a crazy rule like "you can't make any sounds around this thing or it turns you into glass" that exist only to traumatize 8-year-olds

I've mentioned Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains before, but its Silk Road setting deserves more praise
It goes from Francia to Venice, Damascus, Baghdad, Tashkent & Chang'An, following historical events of ~750 AD like the Abbasid revolution, the Battle of Talas, and Tang Dynasty crisis.

Still got the flu, but I'm medicated, lubricated, and generally pretty solid aside from some mild lung issues and wheezing. So why don't we go back to Rocket: Robot On Wheels? I've got A SINGLE TOKEN left to find in world one, which should only take four hours. 9:30 PM Eastern to start.
