Q: How do I unlock Sunglasses Macron?
A: It's very difficult to unlock Sunglasses Macron in the course of a normal game because it requires a specific and unlikely sequence of events. While default Macron is ruler of France, the USA must choose the monarchy path and then lay claim to Greenland.

Oldest documents we could find, deeds dated:
- 1792, mentioning the king (3 years into the Revolution and a few months before the monarchy was abolished & Louis XVI guillotined)
- 1798 (dated using the revolutionary calendar, “22 floréal year 6”)
- 1810, mentioning Napoléon, Emperor of the French

I guess they didn’t learn their lesson from investing in the Panama Canal

French speakers will enjoy some tidbits about diseases caught by: women reading erotica, women thinking about erotica, and of course women indulging too much in pleasuring themselves

Some interesting finds in my great-grandparents’ belongings, among them the books “Hygiene and Moral,” “Principles and practices of a good modern education” and the ominously named “shameful diseases”

I know from experience how much of an uphill battle it can be, to even be acknowledged as a bona fide designer… 😅 It’s refreshing to read about those kinds of setups

Slowly getting back into drawing, I think I’ll try posting more often to hold myself accountable by pretending people will notice if I slack off, so here’s the beginning of a little thing that I’m somewhat happy with

The scythe is mightier than Le Pen

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes was maybe my favorite game to play this year. It's also proof that you can make a game that's a love letter to cinema without turning it into a vaguely interactive and mostly linear "prestige" cinematic experience. Games don't have to be movies to be culturally relevant.
