scan of a gouache painting of Philly's mascot Gritty, a furry orange muppet with wild eyes, as a wrathful deity crowned with gold flames, dancing on modern imps of ignorance and cruelty, on the Columbia bridge over the Schuylkil, in front of a burning Cybertruck in the river, flanked by offerings of pretzels and Tastykakes. It holds up a progress flag on a hockey stick, a middle finger, a sprig of ginkgo, a big cup of Wawa coffee, one empty blessing hand, and a molotov cocktail ready to throw. The sky is pastel dawn colors over Fairmount Park.

and i'm not into hockey but this guy has transcended mere hockey mascot, imo. i've been thinking about this kind of treatment for him basically since go & especially since they doubled down on the flag-

There are a ton of wonderful people in this article discussing the realities of LLM based character interaction
I always return to the fact that parser games are not mainstream juggernauts and that people don't want to have to learn to be improv actors to participate as a character in a setting
and if your first game from Santa Ragione was Horses, and you DIDN’T enjoy that, you should check out Mediterranea Inferno
Rob Reiner made THE PRINCESS BRIDE. He made WHEN HARRY MET SALLY. He made MISERY, SPINAL TAP, and countless other classics.
Rob gave us a great gift, and his and his wife's senseless murders are a devastating loss.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential
Horses' only sin is that its broad themes don't entirely pay off its loaded imagery. Otherwise, it's an effectively uncomfortable games that turns life's mundane humiliations into surreal horror. If anything, its bans fill in its thematic gaps for it. My review. www.polygon.com/horses-banne...
the HORSES affair is a startlingly low bar to cross to see if people actually care about protecting games from censorship of upsetting themes because it's far tamer and has way more moral clarity than a lot of stuff that doesn't get banned. but it's also very clarifying to see who can't cross it
Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf
First HORSES reviews are in!
Just finished this brilliant game, and just saw someone describe it as Saló meets Stardew Valley. If that’s your thing (I guess it’s mine???) definitely pick it up! Seriously, bravo @santaragione.com 🐴❤️
Heck yeah! Just pre-ordered and can’t wait to play!
Special thanks to GOG for being so supportive of the project! HORSES preorders are now available on the store: www.gog.com/en/game/horses 🙏

This is infuriating and tragic but I also wonder if we couldn’t crowdfund 100k to keep Santa Ragione open—they make some of the strangest and most interesting games.
Oh, I guess GOTY comes out in a week? Well when it does, buy it everywhere. Buy it for your friends and family. Santa Ragione don't deserve to go down like this.
This is absolutely insane, especially for them to provide absolutely no clarification. I’ve been sincerely looking forward to this game and am also a huge fan of Saturnalia. I’m so sorry this is happening.
