A new short adventure by Yours Truly is out on itch!!! wavey-games.itch.io/the-dissident #pointandclick #adventuregame #indiegame #indiedev #cga #retrogaming #MajorUpdate

No one sent me an offering of banana cream pie for Fool's Day, so you're all getting pranked for the rest of the year.

Bring back 90s multimedia monstrosities!

Gave my cat an entire piece of ham, and he dropped a partially stunned moth on my foot 5 minutes later. 🥰

The scythemaker wasn't at the Lost Trades Fair this year, and I am SCATHING when I should be SCYTHING. Oh well. At least I saw some cool armour.

Working on some more horror game background art 🙂 #pixelart #gamedev

This is the ideal enemy design. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Me, endlessly exploring wetlands in the evenings:

nothing i love more than the mangrove

We just started a new collaborative playlist in my Discord, so I'm making the previous one public. If you're looking to discover some new bangers, and/or data to describe which genres you loathe... It's all yours!

Autumn equinox explorations.

Sharing their denim two-piece outfit.

@emmfoolery.bsky.social good news!

≈ Every 6 months of my life I learn fresh horrors about my female body. I was recently put on some medication to try to regulate some hormonal symptoms, and today I passed a DECIDUAL CAST. Which is when your ENTIRE UTERINE LINING COMES OUT AT ONCE. It HURTS. WHY DOES NO ONE WARN US ABOUT THIS?

More films need elaborately animated, Manhattan Transfer inspired, rat villain troupe musical numbers. In Hungarian.

I'm only sharing this because one game having 'No Images' was hilarious to me.

Which social media/online spaces/communities do you engage with, that you feel actively improve your quality of life?

The year is 2026. Someone dumped their collection of a few 1990s floppies containing ZZT games. Out of those, even now, we found two that were not preserved. Back up your ZZT floppies and hard disks today, if you haven't yet! I will happily sort them for you.

if i'm interested in a new AAA game (honestly pretty rare these days) i just wait until it's on sale for $40, and by then i've lost interest. it's a perfect system.

My retired Boomer neighbours, the exact second 7:00am hits:

I am begging you to put down your phone, lie on the floor, and listen to an album that was important to you in your teens/early twenties.

Apparently they have a half decent scan for severe endometriosis now (great!), but the info for all the local clinics simply says, "You will need a mild laxative and 30 minutes. :)" But what is the procedure!? Are you going to probe my ass? ARE YOU GOING TO CHARGE ME $700 AND PROBE MY ASS?

Unwillingly single on Valentine's Day? Have you tried wearing this shirt in a densely populated area, making eye contact with passersby, and pointing at it aggressively? Babes dig confidence, I hear.

Don't mind me, I've just spent the entire evening looking at DOS demos...

>𝚝𝚘𝚞𝚌𝚑 𝚐𝚛𝚊𝚜𝚜

This looks mad cute, definitely the rare type of indie diversion I'd get sidetracked from DOS for.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, which is a great day to write a list of all the things you love and KISS IT.

What I mean when I say I'm Eclectic Pagan.

thank you refreshing beverages for existing :)

Brushed the cat for the first time in… four days.

In his endless quest for magic beans, my housemate has entered a very lucrative karaoke contest. On the plus side, I get to dress him up. So far he's the only one who's done a one-handed cartwheel, so hopefully that counts for something…

Is anyone aware of an adult game (or adult software) that released on CD-ROM before Virtual Valerie in 1989? I figure there might be a Japanese example but I'm coming up blank

Re: 90% of my replies on social media: I truly appreciate you wanting to help me find DOS games. Yes, I've checked Archive. Yes, I know what ExoDOS is. Yes… I know what… DOSBox is. I've checked DOS collections you've never even heard of. You also linked me my own upload. …It's also the wrong game.

girl.

@emmfoolery.bsky.social i saw this and, for reasons i'm still not quite clear on, immediately thought "well emmy has to see this"

Refusing to date anyone unless we score 100% compatibility on a Nintendo Love Tester. (The hardest part about this is acquiring a working Nintendo Love Tester.)

'The World's Greatest Games' Somehow, anthropomorphic Putt-Putt inspired train OC, with human limbs, uncanny features, and... a vestigial tail(?) -- I doubt it.

What's the most engaging thing you remember reading about game history? I'm even more interested if it covers something you usually wouldn't care about, but still burrowed right into your Veins of Intrigue.

The reason I've stopped publishing historical research from Italy is that, as many of my colleagues have also noticed, most of that research gets "borrowed" by others (often uni professors) who happily attend events and publish books, while you're left being mostly uncredited and misquoted.

FUCK IT, MISSING DOS WEDNESDAY Trying to locate an Australian DOS game from ≈ 1988, 𝐋𝐞𝐱, 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝟏. The game was part of a series of four Edutainment games by Reckon Software/John Grimley. Here's the box cover art, a text ad, and screenshots of 2 other games in the series! Help a gal out!?

Thank you Wakaliwood for the greatest teaser I will ever see in my life.

I promise I'll get back to MS-DOS posting eventually, but right now it's Sanyo Sunday.

FEELIN' PRETTY NOW OR NEVER TO ME

It is my birthday and my housemate bought me a trumpet, finally confirming, without doubt, that he is a masochist.

I think I've earned one vagueposting scream into the a(by)ss at this point... 𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼

Just found this cassette for 50¢, that looks like a one-man, off-Broadway, musical character study of Niles Crane.
