I've avoided reading anything about it but I am so excited for PENGUIN COLONY. I went hoarse recommending Umurangi Generation back in 2020 and failed (but valiantly tried) to get that game to win all the awards over its AAA competitors store.steampowered.com/app/3695930/...

Penguin Colony on Steam

Cosmic horror, through the eyes of a penguin. Rival human factions have come to your home in the Antarctic, seeking an ancient and inconceivable being. Observe their descent into insanity in this fait...

Obviously having your game erroneously banned for daring to suggest that adults sometimes have sex is an absolute nightmare. Particularly the week before launch! But...I have to admit that playing a vampire in a game deemed "too sexy for Steam" might be the coolest I've ever been.

In case anyone missed my little X-Files point and click daydream

Mulder, Scully, Skinner, and the Lone Gunmen, all drawn in a cartoony style.

A hallway of an institute or something like that, with eldritch green light pouring in through a far window.

A car crests a hill at night. A figure with a shovel stands by the roadside.

My wife and I are watching a little bit of The X-Files again and I've been doodling
along.

Imagine if you will: a five act point-and-click where you switch between Mulder and Scully depending on what kind of clues and puzzles you're working with. The Lone Gunmen get their own episode during Act 4 but they all move together like a single character. Tone is 70% comedy 30% paranormal horror.

Scully: "Mulder, you can't combine those."
Mulder, trying to tie a stick of dynamite to a taxidermied pheasant using half a shoelace: "Ancient Roman augurs read omens into the flight paths of birds all the time, Scully."

Scully: LOOK AT Enormous Rotating Saucer Hovering Over the Town
Scully: "That's the second biggest weather balloon I've ever seen."

Scully: LOOKAT Fox Mulder's Docs Folder
OPEN Fox Mulder's Docs Folder
Scully: "Ah."
Mulder: "I get those for the articles."
Scully: "Yeah who doesn't love a juicy article."

Mulder LOOK AT Mysterious Skull
Mulder: "Seen this, Scully?"
Scully: "Artificial cranial deformation has been attested in numerous cultures,
Mulder. The practice results in elongated skulls and flattened foreheads."
Mulder: "Does it make the bones glow green?"

No union employees at Blizzard were impacted by today’s bloodbath—and I sincerely doubt that was because the powers that be think that we’re all vital. Odds are, they wanted easy cuts. Status Quo makes you not easy. The best time to unionize was a year ago. The second best time to unionize is now.

I know the list is endless but I genuinely think trashing the legitimate congressionally chartered org for celebrating the 250th to instead hijack our national assets and taxpayer funds for his personality cult grifter crap should, in and of itself, be fully sufficient to merit removal from office.

linuscatt · 1d ago
I worked at Smithsonian, specifically raising money for 250th. What I want people to know is we secured millions of private philanthropy to host a month long Folklife Festival on the mall, "The Festival of Festivals". Was going to feature well known festivals, think Burning Man, Farm Aid, Grand Ole Oprey etc. as well as smaller local and regional festivals from across the U.S. and territories. Goal was to feature truly the best and most beautiful creative expression in music, dance, arts and craft traditions, food, community etc. Can't name names but plan was to have headliners every night for free concerts.... Think the types of names who might be affiliated with the aforementioned large festivals. Stars were willing to perform because was under banner of Smithsonian. It had to all be scrapped bc the administration would not release permits to host on the mall. The money went elsewhere, but our nation was robbed of what would have been a once in a generation cultural moment.

We talked about this "Making of Space Quest V" feature from the Galactic Inquirer manual (reprinted here in the Summer 1993 issue of InterAction Magazine) on this week's Quest Quest. The actor playing Roger Wilco getting his face forcibly smushed onto a flatbed scanner still makes me laugh.

A two-page article from the Summer 1993 issue of InterAction Magazine titled "Behind-the-Scenes Look on the Set of Space Quest V: The Next Mutation." The layout features a colorful introduction alongside six humorous, staged promotional photographs showing the game's development team at Dynamix. The photos jokingly depict designers studying a Star Trek book for "original ideas," an actor's face being forcefully pressed onto a flatbed scanner to "digitize live actors," artists working on miniatures and computer monitors, and a programming team humorously tied up and gagged while receiving "constructive feedback."

SCOOP: double fine is unionizing

ouble Fine, the Microsoft-owned studio behind Psychonauts and, more recently, experimental fare like Keeper and Kiln, is set to unionize, per a petition filed to the National Labor Relations Board.

The petition, filed May 7, says that like other Microsoft games division studios that have unionized to date, Double Fine workers are making their unionization push in conjunction with Communications Workers of America (CWA). The union will include all “regular part-time and full-time employees”—a total of 42.

“On May 7, the workers at Microsoft studio Double Fine Productions announced their decision to form a union with CWA to preserve and extend the studio’s commitments to creative excellence, diversity and inclusion, and worker quality of life," CWA said in a statement to Aftermath. "In tandem with requesting voluntary recognition from the company, workers have also filed an election petition with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to secure union representation. We appreciate that Microsoft has taken a neutral approach and agreed not to interfere in any way with worker’s rights to organize unions.”

Looking through old pictures and came across these old Space Quest bits I did however many years ago now. I need to get back to that remake 😩

A parody of the classic Star Wars poster, featuring Roger Wilco holding a golden mop front center, flanked by Roger Wilco Jr. and Bea shooting laser guns. Sludge Vohaul looms in the background with his cloned and jarred insurance salesmen. Fester Blatz, Arnoid, the little pink alien from Space Quest II, and the Two Guys From Andromeda are also there. Also present are various space ships, such as the space car from Space Quest box art, the Aluminum Mallard, skull fighters, the SCS Eureka, Monitor Burger, and the Galaxy Galleria. Also a little bit of Ulence Flats. It's a very busy poster.

Box art mock up for a Space Quest III VGA remake featuring Roger Wilco "flying" his ship, the Aluminum Mallard away from some skull-fighter space ships and the Monolith Burger space station, with Arnoid, the legally-distinct Terminator parody hanging on. Roger nonchalantly is eating hos Monolith Burger and drinking a beverage. Text reads: "Space Quest III, Roger Wilco, The Pirates of Pestulon, A 3-D Animated Adventure Game"
