We're part of a very special, radical, club.

Christmas came early!

Guy next to me at the airport has the Billy/Predator laugh.

On another game, members of our team got actual death threats because the person claimed we changed something in the game to cause him to lose his leaderboard position (We didn't).

There were some third-party server issues at launch but they were remedied in a couple of days.

There's been a few updates since launch that added a few new things, like Lore and Lobbies. Those are the biggest. The biggest bugs at launch were an audio issue for online play, and PS5 input lag. Audio fixed, input lag on PS5 improved (And ongoing). New features are being added (That was the plan)

It’s got rollback, and we just launched lobbies into a beta branch. It’s being continually refined based on feedback.

The face I make when Luthen asks me to remove a listening device from a sculpture while Director Krennec is in the room.

thinking of her today

This year doesn’t disappoint: Al Roker pulls a 7yo birthday girl from the crowd and introduces her to the Rockettes. Al: “Are you ready for a surprise?” Rockette hands her a golden ticket. “You get to see the Rockettes!” Girl after pause: “I saw them yesterday.” “Well you get to see them again!”

Credits for Brent Porter (3D art lead) and Catherine Menabde (2D art lead) are shown here. There's a lengthy description of what they did, with a pastiche of various Demonschool characters underneath, messing around with a computer.

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.

screen grab from video of the incident. Dude dressed up like Max Headroom wearing sunglass is laughing.

Happy anniversary to the Max Headroom incident, the greatest example of signal hijacking.

Me when the neighbor catches me walking up my driveway and asks if I don't mind taking their garbage cans out to the street on garbage day while they're on vacation.

Fully prepared to entertain the kids next week.

Not yet but hoping to this weekend!

Celebrated game developer Rebecca Heineman dies at age 62 The gaming community mourns a beloved mentor and LGBTQ+ advocate with a storied career.

I wrote an obituary of celebrated game developer Rebecca Heineman for Ars Technica:

The knob feels smooooooooth.

It’s now down to a few things game/computer related and just toys. Pac-Man Nelsonic Watch (and/or q*bert), and a C128D. Of course I have things I want that I can’t get (space) but that’s like the Halcyon, etc. or so many arcade games.

I finally own Atari Video Music! My white whale!

RIP "Burger" Becky Heineman. My heart goes out to her legion of fans, friends, and family. A kind soul. Can we take 2600 Space Invaders out of the High Score rotation to freeze her World Record as a way to commemorate her?

TWO DAYS until demonschool! Reviews are dropping tomorrow........... which we're all feeling normal about~
