stop thinking of indie work as something 'made correctly' or 'made for you' nothing will be 100% made for you unless YOU are the one making it engage with work as it is - you can hold space for what you wanted it to be, but you gotta uncouple yourself from the disappointment or you'll be poisoned

It especially frustrates me b/c I'm gray-asexual and I am also an adult artist and writer. This stuff DOES affect us & acting otherwise erases much of the ace spectrum & reinforces the stereotype we're all puritanical prudes. In any case, something not affecting you doesn't mean one shouldn't care.

Absolutely one of my games of the year and possibly my favorite survival-crafting game of all time. If you enjoy the genre like I do, or just want some Half-Life/SCP-ish shenanigans as a goofy scientist, 100% check it out!

New D&D Short! It's time to do a debt check... 💵 From: The Devil's Due bit.ly/DevilsDueIO5e #ttrpg #dnd #dnd5e

if you are in a professional or personal situation where you cannot fully divest yourself from something being rightly boycotted, you've got an easy out: shut the fuck up. no one asked. you're free. i'm not your priest.

Shadows of Doubt (a game i played on stream) had an update. One of the new modifier is playing as a rat detective. Yes, of course i will replay the game on stream sooner or later.

That headline is hilarious to read in comparison to Nintendo ACTUALLY coming close to doing this with their recent patents. I'm not sure 'tribal cultures fighting robot dinosaurs' is a genre broad enough to have 'conventions' in the first place.

It is done. I have beaten the fight. I'm sad that it soured things so much for me in the end, because narratively I loved everything about that sequence and what came after, but the near two hours of barely-contained rage took a while to fully subside. Glad I played it; glad to be done.

Silksong is definitely a hard game. I've struggled, but generally done pretty alright for myself. A few salt-mine bosses, but I was making good, steady progress for the entire game. I have reached the true end-boss, and all of that goodwill the game showed me has been flushed down the drain.

Time to break out the chart

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

Open debate is for economic policy and whether we should charge for public transportation. Open debate is not whether some human beings are lesser than others. Some ideas are so vile, so odious, that they should not be entertained.

Got this response on TikTok and just… *chef’s kiss*

And that's credits on Silksong. Fantastic game, and there's still more to find and do...

Sherma from the hit game Silksong 🎵

I'm SUPER excited about this release! I was disappointed that 2024 D&D didn't release its own custom monster-making rules, so I went ahead and did it myself. Enjoy!

#Silksong is a marvel, any video game releasing is a miracle to be celebrated. But the obsession with Team sizes needs to stop, the wonderful @teamcherry.bsky.social credited folks, so coverage should too. Here is the FULL #HollowKnight Silksong credits, celebrate everyone who makes video games!

Waffling back and forth between bosses that are beating my ass and ones I roll over first try in Silksong, but on the whole enjoying it a lot! The characterization of Hornet is so good.

Silksong: here's a new enemy, the pathetic worm. He's 3 inches tall and has the voice of an 80 year old man. Me: heh, cool Silksong: the pathetic worm has 7 different attacks, 400 hp, and will take two of your health per hit Me (through tears): very...cool...

Abe's new groove.

We should really get into the habit of wording this differently. 'From the company that holds the IP rights for...' or something.

Welp. Got caught in one o' them new-fangled layoff waves I've heard so much about. If anyone happens to know about any QA or writing openings (or has any contract work leads for the same), I'm available!

Everytime someone mentions their use of GenAI in a conversation I instantly feel two red minus signs appear above my head.

Heh. The fact that half of these were gifts for other people doesn't surprise me...

The Peak has been conquered through the power of family and cooperation and determination!

This from @tressiemcphd.bsky.social hit me over the head like a mallet of truth. This is the thing. This is what I’ve been trying to warn people about perfectly crystallized. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/o...

Close, intelligent, in some cases near lifelong friends are starting to talk casually about the use of ChatGPT in their lives or in some cases are clearly getting paid/perks to promote its use and it’s like watching your social circle slowly, and with a big smile on their face, all join Scientology.

Not to worry. I have a Warrant of Trade. #warhammer40k @owlcatgames.bsky.social

Even setting aside the conceptual issues with 'show more of a painting the artist had no desire to show', a human being making a scene like this could be really interesting, seeing what they picked to go into the slow kitchen, or other people walking the streets at this time of night --

Ghost Master, Rayman 1 - 3, Jedi Outcast/Academy, Black & White, Impossible Creatures...

Look how cute they are when they are being epic

Man, Gametap was a hell of a thing. It introduced me to Sam & Max and a lot of older games I might never have even known to try. Also, its version of Psychonauts crashing just before the Meat Circus is what got me into Let's Plays, setting off a chain of events leading me to my current writing gig.

If all of the Torment Nexuses being brought to life lately, I can't say I necessarily saw Machine Spirits being so near the top of the list. All hail the Omnissiah, I guess?

I have ADHD, and an MA in Writing. As a result of my ADHD, I struggle with the utter inability to sit down and write, no matter how much I want to, and it's been like this for years. I hate it. I would still rather struggle with this for the rest of my life than use generative AI to 'write'.

D&D night with the family. Nothing like a Wraith to make a string of terrible rolls go from 'that's annoying' to 'Oh, it drained 27 max health from you and you die' REAL quick.

I can already tell this is going to infuriate me, but Brennan is ALREADY acting as my voice in that regard, so I can't NOT watch it :P

Artfight attack for @barrykramer.bsky.social ! This is for every time I have been exposed to the Ace Attorney pirate video on stream #pickleart

Once again reminding myself that I can just... make soup. Whenever I want to. Pretty darn easily. Gotta stop forgetting this fact.

Operating an unsanctioned breeding program/slaughterhouse of strange, alien dogs and tasmanian devils. Relatively tame considering the game's reputation for War Crimes...

I am RENDERING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
