in theory i think i would like to own one hundred espurrs but in practice it would be a nightmare to own even one espurr because the only thing stopping my (real life) cat from stealing treats and/or potted plants from high shelves is a lack of telekinesis

internet doing a bang-up job of not spoiling silksong for me, thank you all

Gourds galore and more! Come see what's in store... for our fall update!

silksong is a lotta game for one little bug.......

had a dream where I got in trouble with my school so they sent me to the principal's office and the principal looked like a fat and jolly tommy wiseau who gave me laminated information pamphlets on how to prevent infectious disease and also a homework assignment to listen to all my favorite songs

trying out an brand-new goblin meal of my invention called kimchi and cream, where i pour some heavy cream onto the kimchi before i eat it, it's pretty good

aria math reminds me so much of 2008 despite not hearing it until last year, it just has that 2008-ness to it yknow? i hear it and im like wow... it's 2008... i gotta go do my algebra homework and go get a rectangle pizza from the school cafeteria....

"always be kind" is not so that you should roll over for the bullies who are actively making your life hell, it's so that you don't end up becoming a bully to someone else

had a dream that the moon was huge

tiktok as a platform is so incomprehensible, every once in a while a video just won't be put on people's feeds and it seems completely random

researching ancient papermaking techniques and getting jumpscared by undertale every once in a while researching ancient textile weaving techniques and surprisingly not getting jumpscared by the hugely popular game with "silk" in the title

Please god don't delete your old bad art in the back end of your galleries, it's one of the few certificates of authenticity against AI that we have left 😔

wild fantasies of going on an epic roadtrip with a brand new camera rig and break into all the abandoned fairgrounds and themeparks to take as many terabytes of unsettling yet serene photos as I can until one of the rusty ferris wheels fall off the hinges and start chasing me professor layton style

They're trying real hard to gain mass control over what we're allowed to say and do online, regardless of it being lawful free speech or expression. Call your reps y'all. It's worked before and can work again. We CAN beat this, but only if we rally together. www.house.gov/representati...

progress update of our journey through silksong (censored for spoilers)

incredibly grateful for game communities and their dedication to the craft, what do you MEAN i can just, look at the outer wilds ship log inside my very own internet browser

I remember the first time I went to a spirit halloween like it was yesterday (17 years ago)

i think the evergreen pattern i've been seeing is that kids are often bullied into being afraid of sincerely enjoying things because "liking things is cringe" in middleschool-slapfight-culture so they make the thing more meme-y and "ironic", but at the same time those very memes are called "cringe"-

key observation: while it's analogous to the lolrandom of 2000s flash animation, it still feels quite different in spirit and neatly contrasts with the tiktoks that go out of their way to intentionally recreate the 2000s vibes and- holy shit the 2000s is retro now like how the 90s was retro in 2015😱

i aspire to be one of those data hoarder with carefully documented and archived libraries of digital ephemera, however i'm also very time-poor and tech-stupid, worst of both worlds really

also not knocking it at all ofc, just musing over the latest cool trends and how these things tend to form organically, what are art movements if not reflections of the specific moment in time, etc

tiktok has an... interesting effect on young artists, there's never been a more creatively productive generation for sure, but i'm certainly a little baffled at almost every tiny piece of animation on there is set to some sped up pop music with random soundbytes and memes/photos of influencers haha

every procreate user says "just make backups" in response to file corruption, but procreate's file infrastructure is intentionally obfuscated and makes you individually export each canvas, which is unhelpful when you have hundreds of files

two questions on my mind right now, 1) has the silksong modding scene materialized yet and 2) who will claim the honor of making the mod that replaces sherma with jerma the beloved youtube personality (disclaimer we are only 12 hours into silksong so no spoilers in the comments please and thank you

my singular prediction is that they'll announce a plush of the flea puppies and they'll have a voicebox that says awoo when you press a button inside one of their feets and it will be the fastest selling item in the history of fangamer and will probably crash the homepage for an hour or two

I have misspoken! I checked the archives and looks like I actually started on september 4th 2021, although I don't think I started playing regularly until after the 21st (where I went through eden)

just witnessed an 8 year old in the neighborhood speed down the street on a scooter while yelling "WHAT THE FU-" before quickly correcting himself to yell "WHAT THE FUDGE!!!" at an even louder volume

they should make the common enemy critters and beasts in silksong less cute because I get very sad when they die :(

In another few days marks an important landmark, I will have played sky children of the light nearly every day for 4 years

thinking about how 2005 was 20 years ago, yowza.....

Had a dream that jon arbuckle got a boyfriend

i did it!! i won!!!!

it's time www.twitch.tv/nightmargin

last night I had a dream that there was a new supernatural phenomena that's just called "Winter" and it happens during the season of winter, you can't go outside when it's night time (especially when it's snowing) because shadow creatures will either abduct you or completely scramble your mind

10 years ago i sucked at undertale and everyone made fun of me. 10 years of unrelated videogame experiences and also wrist problems later, will i suck even more? let's find out... tomorrow! www.twitch.tv/nightmargin

i think we're still at the beginning of silksong... (10 hours in)

they need to make candles that smell like caramelized onions or garlic butter

Hilarious and insightful episode this week with @nightmargin.bsky.social of @futurecatgames.bsky.social! Talking OneShot, Margin of the Strange, and weird dreams: open.spotify.com/episode/0LxL...

remembering that undertale came out almost 10 years ago is like the beach that makes you old

My brother in law's chihuahua Gustavo, he knows he's very cute

Talk to your kids. (And also maybe just because this is the age of TikTok tell them that adding sound effects and memes to a murder video is desensitizing and will also fuck them up, because my god the earful I just got.)

I'm not even playing silksong myself just watching it is stressing me out but like how people in the past are with their sport's teams

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

ancient heart that yearns for the innocence and sincere enthusiasm of the 2000s internet culture where if you were excited you'd say "OMGWTFBBQ I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!111111one XDDDD", things were hardly ideal then but it's nice to remember a time before the poison of irony slowly suffocated the sun
