If you need to add stuff to a rerelease of a previous movie to explain your current movie I’m just going to say you’re very bad at making movies

The October Girl Book Two A moody, coming-of-age tale for fans of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and Nimona, filled with fairies and ogres and magic galore.Autu...

There's also been a little jump in preorders for the next two books in THE OCTOBER GIRL series, so I'm hoping some readers are liking one series and then going to check out the other one.

And yes, there ARE two more OCTOBER GIRL books up for preorder!

Book Two goes on sale May 26th!

With this new InfoWars, we will democratize psychological torture, welcoming brutal and sadistic ideas from everyone, even the very stupidest among us. It will be like the Manhattan Project, only instead of a bomb, we will be building a website. 

The InfoWars of tomorrow will converge into a swirling vortex of content about content, talent acquiring talent, rings of concentric media mergers processing all human artistry into one endlessly digestible slurry. This will be a dank, sunless place, one where panic and capital feed on each other like twins in the womb of a hulking, unknowable monster—a monster known by many names, but which I like to call modern-day America.

What a beautiful piece of writing from my boss, @brycetetraeder.bsky.social.

Sounds like a consumption year to me. Just enough work in there to keep us from rusting but otherwise it’s time to catch up on all the culture we miss

The Marvel Swimsuit pinup of Ghost Rider, showing him as just a flaming skeleton, strongly implies that GR is always wearing a muscle suit when riding his bike, presumably to fit in with his peers, and I think that’s great

Donkey Kong Bananza is perfect. I will get to the plot at some point but right now I am enjoying the zen of just punching endlessly through procedurally generated rock to find treats

User dratsab huffman asks the question:

To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism".

Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?

Recalcitrant Jester replies:
Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis.

In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness.

The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

I salute everyone who can write a vomit draft and do all these good work in edits, but it couldn’t be us. We plan obsessively. The first draft of Worst Man was the exact page count required and needed only a bit of dialogue cleanup because anything else would have caused us so much anxiety

Relatedly, Galaxy's abundant cleavage is a very intentional design choice*, but the story reason for it is Galaxy just likes showing off her tits.

One of the (many) reasons I love how @brandtandstein.com draw Galaxy is they understand this perfectly.
