Despelote review: miraculous slice-of-life soccer game pulls a hat trick
Despelote is an autobiographical and sumptuously rendered slice-of-life game that shoots for gold and handily gets there.

I reviewed Despelote, which is at once the smallest game and also the biggest thing in the world. It's a towering achievement and something that will live with me for the rest of my days. My rave for Digital Trends: www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/despe...

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.

remembering now how there's a whole plot point of Superman where Lex Luthor has highly trained monkeys posting online hate from a proverbial bot farm in a pocket dimension and laughing out loud
Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

bro got rizzed up by the sexy mayor
A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.
Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."
