I wrote for both these games! I'm very funny! You should buy them!
The Penguin King Winter Sale is on! All games are 50% off, including "Costume Fairy Adventures" (a game of dress-up and shenanigans) and @zachrpg.bsky.social's "Cerebos: The Crystal City" (a surreal travelogue RPG about an allegorical train bound for a mythical destination).

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

Mandatory crunch time to complete a demo is not what we sign up for as video game workers, yet it's a reality we're all too familiar with as studio execs exploit our passion for the games that we create and love.
And it won't stop unless we organize.

NEW: For the last seven weeks, Naughty Dog has enacted mandatory overtime for staff to finish an internal demo of their next game, Intergalactic. The game won't be out until 2027, leaving some staff wondering: If they're crunching now, what will next year be like? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Hi again! It's me with an another installment of the last book I ever thought would get banned--my picture book about a unicorn and kitty who are pals. A quick look at what this school district bizarrely found objectionable. 1/
You'll never guess what book got the Carroll ISD school library advisory committee to say "genitals" a dozen times in 20 minutes. @txfreedomread.bsky.social will have more on this story soon, but for now, you have to hear this audio. open.substack.com/pub/franklin...
Please don’t say “genitals” one more time, Carroll ISD SLAC.
Listen to the audio of the committee that decided to ban Pretty Perfect Kitty Corn from Carroll ISD. If you dare.

libraries are a pure, communal, social idea. People have mentioned that they wouldn't be invented in America today and I largely agree. There is no profit to be made here, only enrichment of spirit.
