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.

- 1810, mentioning NapolΓ©on, Emperor of the French

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-grandparentsβ belongings, among them the books βHygiene and Moral,β βPrinciples and practices of a good modern educationβ and the ominously named βshameful diseasesβ
I know from experience how much of an uphill battle it can be, to even be acknowledged as a bona fide designerβ¦ π Itβs refreshing to read about those kinds of setups

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.
After years away from game dev, I couldnβt stay silent about my peopleβs dehumanization. I made Dreams on a Pillow πa game inspired by a famous Palestinian folktale about the 1948 Nakba.
