(I don't typically enjoy board games because I don't find playing to beat other people interesting, and I sometimes feel like I've excluded myself from spaces where I'd find a lot of common ground as a result)

This rain is lovely, I'd go over and post a video but idek if they get seen anymore.

Rooting for a specific team rather than just celebrating sporting prowess has always seemed weird to me, tbh. Who cares which team wins, in the end, as long as both teams played their asses off?

😮‍💨 goodbye, gold blend charmer.

urgh, I can feel my body relinquishing control to a virus. The symptoms are all encroaching at an inexorable pace. This is gonna be a rough night, aha.

Sad news. I guess today is a day for re-reading Persepolis and Chicken with Plums.

urghhhhhhhhhh apple podcast app is getting buggy as hell. Why does this have to happen with every podcatcher, is it because I listen to so many podcasts?

Today I learned about Bull Press! Bullpress.org They make gorgeous games, and make them prison-friendly so they can share with incarcerated people. Truly important and gorgeous stuff here folks.

Can only imagine how agonising this reckoning must have been, some stiff competition in there.

Thunderstorm rolling in, hell yeah.

Dance break.

Dance break.

Last four played: • The Hollow Queen (today, following a solid recommendation) • Pokémon Roam • P.A.W.s • Ex Libris.

Bee proud.

My token Pride Month post: • If your parades aren't accessible for disabled people, you fucked up. • Kink belongs at Pride. • The blueprint for acceptance is not "self-effacing cis white gay man." • Trans rights are human rights. • Neopronouns aren't "too much." Argue with the wall.

Absolutely this. I feel like I'm exhaustedly sleepwalking, but I'm giving the establishment two digits up and the other three down just by continuing to exist, and that's pretty rad.

Pride Month is coincidentally going to be the month that I release this game about sex and assassins that I alluded to all those months ago 😌

First day of Pride and my hearing's gone in my left ear. What kind of phobic nonsense is this to wake up to, body?

Listening to Demon Days before bed. Yes.

I understand that existing in a capitalist hellscape is hard, but I think...I think six minutes of adverts before a podcast begins, out of a total 30 minute runtime, during which one ad played more than once...that's too much, I can't endure that.

Never heard of the car manufacturer "cupra" before today, that I can remember, but using Harry Potter to sell cars is about all I need to know about them. Tom Felton, it brings me no end of joy that you're in the bin where you belong 😌

I think one of my favourite things about NOS4A2 is that the unmistakeably and monstrously bad guy is saying shit like "what kind of mother leaves her son to be raised by computer screens" that's actually beautiful writing. I'm dead serious about this.

Today's random film pick was Sapphire (1959), and my main takeaway has been that I'm justified in feeling pissed off every time one of my fellow white people argues in favour of "incremental change" because every fucking thing in this film is still relevant.

I've listened to this one several times and had the band's album on pre-order as soon as that was an option, idk if that lends weight to the recommendation.

I refuse to download TikTok. The horribles by far outweigh the good. And the consequences of digital blackface, which began before AI for the 2016 election, will be even worse this next election season on ALL social media platforms. Even here.

I set this option to "warn" when I started using this account, and honestly it's much better than "hide" considering how overly censorious this site's auto-moderation is.

My first crush was like three quarters of the Get-Along Gang.

Re-reading My Shit Therapist this weekend, and hoping Michelle Thomas is thriving.

Tragedy, farce...a secret third thing?

@melancholytheclown.bsky.social I think you should give PowerSolo a listen. Just cos.

I really am quite proud of how this game turned out and I would love for more people to play it and show me the gelcubs y'all made.

Video from her youtube for people to share, again I think it has more gravitas than 'substack bad' which agree but kinda splitting hairs on this reporting needing more eyes and ears on it. Secret supercomputers by the ellisons mega depth ballroom and stuff.

Grab yourself over $400 worth of games for just $5 and support the Roma community in Bulgaria who have lost their homes - we're funding clothes, shoes, wheelchairs, toys, and more 🔥Check our the videos to see the amazing work that's already been achieved!🔥 #MutualAid itch.io/b/3702/roman...

The gorilla was killed to save the life of a Black toddler who fell into the enclosure. White nationalists in 2016 glorified Harambe as a meme because they saw the Black child as less important than the gorilla, hence the White House post. The article does not mention any of this context.

Heat rash is madness, what do you mean my skin is bubbling because too warm, what the hell, body.

That's a lot of words to say "the wizard made you a billionaire" But! I would buy rows of tall buildings in multiple cities and have the exterior redecorated so every skyline declares "TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS." In glitter. And use the rent to extend the project to still more cities and towns.

I'm tired, boss.

@elementalamber.bsky.social Happy birthday, you utter delight.

I'm watching NOS4A2, and there's a bit that reminded me about how I used to win hide and seek as a kid. I'd pop into the alley, by the gate, and chimney climb four feet up, so you couldn't see my feet in the light throough the base of the gate. Obscured in the shadows.

...idk, I feel like spider-noir should surely have been done in his animation style? Oh well.

Person doesn't think Studio Ghibli really does eerie ghost stuff... 🫥 (y'know, it's fine, we can't all know all the things, but mayyyyyyyybe take a second to reflect, research even)

As somebody who likes to hand-write a first draft and then edit while typing it up, it really does slow my work down when I'm sweating so much I ruin whatever paper I try to use. I need to lean my hand on that 🫠 This is like the summer I worked on P.A.W.s...I had a daily window of about an hour.

One Shot and Dorkspawn on the same day is a special treat.

I think, and this is purely my personal opinion, that having a genAI policy that states "we allow it as long as it's declared and it will be greatly de-emphasised" is going to lead to the same lack of disclosure as "we don't allow it" so you might as well take the hard line approach.

Ahhhh, such a phenomenal game, this episode is going to be a hot one, I can feel it.

Britain really does go pseudopod in hand with eldritch horror.
