Cut out

I made a room for Chariot's submission to the 2026 SOUP JAM! If you aren't familiar, I'd also reccomend checking out last years SOUP ROOMS. It's essentially a minimalist "game" of a series of rooms with neat art to look at. If you've watched any of my vids you won't be surprised I love these lol.

can't stop thinking about the two morrowind mods that, in tandem, make it FFXI (FF11 Style Menu BG and Button Replacer + FF-HUD). it's uncanny and I kind of have to respect how it doesn't even feel all that anachronistic www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mo... www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mo...

Explore a series of surreal, dreamlike rooms in Recollections of Soup, my entry for the 2026 SOUP JAM. Each room is its own unique experience, a small ludic or aesthetic idea. Check it out! chariot-rider.itch.io/recollection...

YouTube pushing my own videos to me while I'm logged out is like getting jump scared by my own appearance when I accidentally open the front camera on my phone. A new video is out! You can watch it here, enjoy!: youtu.be/jBlDARlQ1b0

gameplay demo of despecholia is out! go look at it NOW! www.youtube.com/watch?v=iept...

Old but hey if you haven't seen it, I DID make a vid essay once! It's about how true schmoovement isn't double jumping -- it's tripping through memories (thinking bout it bc I'm writing about kinda similar ideas again oops)

hey folks - i'm going to do a belated Steam Next Fest stream starting around 5:30pm ET this evening. feel free to come on by: twitch.tv/ellaguro

audrey was sleeping under the weighted blanket this morning see if u can spot her

really bummed but i'm going to have to can my new Next Fest vid. bad weather here has caused water leaking into the basement, almost entirely in my office (lol), so i've had to pull up carpet and move everything and run a bunch of fans etc. every time it rains more than a sprinkle.

Hey! This is your periodic reminder to try out the prequel demo for Ares, Half Life: Paradigm! It's got so many cool people voicing blorbos in it, but don't take my word for it, give the demo a try here: www.moddb.com/mods/half-li...

Found out there's like a "press preview" version of Next Fest that starts ~a week early. Searched "Next Fest press preview" & the 1st result is the press page lol. It's even like "don't share this URL press only!" I coulda been spreading this work across 2 weeks instead of crunching so hard for 1 😭

Oh wow, yeah. I've only just scratched the surface of it by End Of Starchild feels like it might be one of the coolest things ever made with the Doom engine? Fully freeware and standalone. msx.horse/eos/ All these screenshots are from the same game It's seemingly a followup to 2021's Time Tripper

!NEW VIDEO! Since 2003, maps were slowly abandoned and left to decay throughout this virtual world. Join me as I explore this strange time capsule from a different digital era :) My vid on Second Life is now live! youtu.be/bARcw8Sy3rw

New translation! I’ve made subtitles for Kazuo Kuroki’s mesmerizing documentary short, The Solar Thread! Come enjoy this nightmare of nylon factories becoming terrifying God Machines and marvel at how this PR movie DIDN’T result in Kuroki getting merc'd by corpo hitmen Watch it! Now!!

This quirky turn-based RPG is no joke, my favorite game that I've played this year so far. While it reminds me of games from the Dreamcast era and games like EarthBound, it still manages to feel wholly original. Here is my in-depth review and reflection on Opoona for Wii. youtu.be/b5U2uB4icGk

Today, kick off SGF with some old games, in the 2nd edition of the Unearthed Treasure Room, a showcase of recent overlooked games we want you to play!! Starting shortly here: youtu.be/mxIrzO7R0EU?...

If you like the sound of it at all from my little segment, you'll probably enjoy Abyss Veil. Game's doing a lot in the most raw, unfiltered way possible. You can easily see how this game could be a big-budget blockbuster given time, manpower and budget. The outline of something vast is here.

blessed to write a little bit about my current goty 868-Back and what makes it so special (aka constantly rewriting how you consider its space)!!

just played this demo for about an hour or so (on Steam Deck) and it's really great! not to be all "waow it's like a ps2 game", but... it's like a ps2 game (complimentary)!

The fundraiser is Saturday, June 13th! More information on the nonprofit can be found at koinitiative.org. Poster art by @kaceyisspacey.bsky.social!

Not enough people have played Blood Facsimile

I proposed The Classifieds almost entirely to shill this new Mantron video (also it’s something we all kinda liked from Let’s Fight A Boss the now defunct podcasts who’s discord server is where we met)

there's a lot of greedy schemes in games, but these updates that are just a change in some graphics settings that you're expected to re-buy the entire game for are probably my personal "most dogshit" pick

i for one find it pretty easy to imagine myself playing the role of "sleepy depressed guy with gamer posture"

this is the best part of every single fromsoft game

Meet at Plaza (1997, PC) (1/2)

i don't think we're at Jump Ship point yet, but we have *got* to figure out an alternative to youtube sooner rather than later because it absolutely will get Way Worse and take a lot of the stuff i love and rely on down with it

"bluesky is a bad website" skill issue if you follow the right artists you can see girls kissing with every combination of genitalia imaginable

If you're excited about Hilltop's English translation of Kowloon's Gate, then check out the pamphlet for Tokyo: The Last Megalopolis shared by Baxter. It's an equally strange film that like Kowloon, demonstrates interest in the relationship between urban space and feng shui.

it's been almost 3 years since the first timewarp demo came out, which is really weird to think about, my life hasn't been exactly the same since then. if you got spare time to play a janky hl1 total conversion, you should totally play the two timewarp demos! :3 www.moddb.com/mods/timewar...

Born of a Dream/Death of a Wish are currently discounted for a Steam Weeklong Deal! Get the action-rpg duology for 50% off and help support my future projects: store.steampowered.com/bundle/37980...

I made some more progress on the lobby and entrance today! Getting closer to the finish line : ) Will hopefully release a beta version soon! #half-life #mapping #gamedev #goldsrc

just saw Tetsuo in the theater, a great time, obviously. someone came out and gave some background on the movie before it started and they were like "I'm guessing most of you that have seen this probably first watched it on your computer monitor" and they were absolutely right

this is really good and the whole idea of "exe's are scary" is basically exactly what i was trying to say in the new vid but way more succinct lol

oiiiiii

After more than a year of effort, it's finally here- my DMC series retrospective and Netflix DMC video essay! Please enjoy!!
