So @farisattieh.bsky.social, who dreamt up House of Hikmah, sent this to me with a big crying emoji and it's so cool to see the game ripple through media. It does leave a glaring hole - I do really wish Western media, who control Metacritic and all that, would hold more space for non-Western stories

Here's the thing: Democrats already know who can win. They know which policies are popular with voters and which candidates are vocally in support of those policies. They're going to throw a billion dollars into trying to prevent those candidates from becoming the nominee.

Screenshot of a headline from politico that reads: fears over who can win in 2028 are already surfacing among democrats

Having a great time with this one right now. In addition to the look, sound, and history of it, some really excellent puzzle design! Keeps surprising me with what its transmuting hook can do, and just feels great to execute. Lovely game.

I remember seeing a post on the evil site saying something along the lines of like "games should stop trying to tell stories and focus on just gameplay mechanics which is what they're good at" and like, I just don't know what to say to that kind of thing.

They threaten the total annihilation of a civilization and then orchestrate a two-week pause to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, because global powers made shipping lanes their priority? Meanwhile Lebanese and Palestinian families are still getting decimated by the Zionist entity aje.news/9k7fl9

There's been no real condemnation of what Trump has said and is doing today from nearly all of the so called Western leaders who claim to uphold the rules based international order. No call for sanctions or consequences. Same with Gaza, same with Venezuela. Greenland was the exception ofc.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
