I'm gonna have to find a new format for my "weekly" schedule since it's just Friday for the foreseeable future anyways. XD

Just over a month ago now I posted my asset pack to the FAB marketplace, and Gumroad. The price was very high for the pack so I cut it by over half, not as a sale, forever. I'll provide links to the pages in the comments, feedback would be great.

We started a new clan in #Oreshika after nearly 2 years, except this time with the added insanity of my co-host Jonny.
Character creation took two entire hours for a character that will probably die in 2 more. XD

Minutes away from actually being kind of free to pursue some of my own #gamedev stuff again with obligations squared up, crunch over, and the show down to once per week.
Well, most obligations. Holiday travel on the horizon.

Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening
Recent surveys point to flatlining business adoption

Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

Oreshika is an unfairly obscure gem by Shoji Masuda.
An extremely Japanese tale of divine curses and mortal resilience it's also -- like his later works (Hero Must Die Again) -- an extended meditation on mortality and what we leave behind.
Also you bonk gods.
Friday nights are drunken chaos here!

I'm glad I got to wrap the season with Resleriana. Played a few hours before swapping up to an end game save to discuss the bigger picture of the alchemy system and how engaging it is being incentivized once again.
Feels like a lot of steps back in the right direction!

We're thankful to everyone who's supported Demonschool so far! We'd love to hit 500 Steam reviews and get Faye her pretzel, so drop us a quick note if you're enjoying it!
Don't forget: If you've played and enjoyed Demonschool, please do leave a review on steam! We want to hit that "overwhelmingly positive" threshold. And remember, if we do it by the end of the month (5 days!), Faye gets a pretzel~ store.steampowered.com/app/1900250/...

"Work-life integration" is an absolutely foul state of mind to possess.
Behind every "highly successful individual" are the countless people they screwed over and stepped on to get there and they will stop at nothing to keep those people beneath them, especially with an attitude like this.

While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.
