Richard Dawkins describes a woman who tells him he's brilliant in a highly reflective way and says AI has consciousness. What world were we in where he was taken seriously?

This is what it's all about. 🥹

If you have a jaguar, you should buy it a copy of Vampire Therapist, I guess!

Really happy to see my Berlin compatriots at @paintbucket.de and @bluebackpack.bsky.social taking home wins at the German Computer Game awards! Did you know? Winners actually receive significant *monetary* awards, provided by a the federal government and a trade association. Artist support!💖

We are so excited to be featured on @plante.bsky.social 's "post games" podcast for his episode on climate change 😍 🌱 🦦 #indiegames #podcast #indiedev postgame.substack.com/p/this-game-...

"What? I totally respect women. I love Ayn Rand!" these bros have got to goes

Happy Earth Day, everyone! We decided to make a game with a heavy environmental bent because protecting our Earth is a liberal *and* conservative value. The Earth is the thing that unites us. Against billionaires.

Is nothing sacred 😭

Apologies for the X link, but the billionaires really are planning to eat our souls, they've developed their own twisted Calvinist theology to justify it, and we're on Bluesky assuming we are the meek that have already inherited the earth. It's not fun to face, but we must.

Is it Amazon IP-slop? Yes. Do I support it? Also yes. I'm a millennial. I remember when environmental messaging was in *everything*, especially when it was for kids. That matters. Amazon may see $$$ but I see a philosophy that is antagonistic to despots and data centers alike.

A little chat with @retconmagazine.com about Vampire Therapist, including background on the Rise of the Skywalker joke and a shameless jab at Marc Andreessen!

🥰 I'm so lucky to be in such incredible company! Everyone wants to work with Supergiant or *be* Supergiant for good reasons.

To everyone experiencing HADES II for the first time this week, sorry in advance for Eris.😓 She's Strife Incarnate and can't help herself! They say she started the Trojan War as a prank with a single golden apple, like the one in this new piece by our illustrator Jeremy Anninos.🌖

It's funny (not funny) how the robots in The Matrix were far more humane than the one's we're getting.

That image posted by Trump got me thinking, as the theology of wealth is central to the game I'm making. The ultra-wealthy using art as divine sanction is nothing new. So I wrote about it on Tumblr (not substack). Give it a read! I love this dark history shit.

My next game is a comedy about the dark theology of billionaires, and you play as a woman who rips them all off. Catharsis!! youtu.be/AevZDa7L2k8?...

Lament of Icarus ☀️ 3 long months of toiling on and off on this Neoclassicist master study by the majestic Herbert James Draper. Always wanted to make this tribute piece ever since Icarus was announced but life happened. #hades2 #waxwitch #melinoe #icarus

Now come publicly support the AFD again here in Germany, JD! Countries *love* it when the US interferes in their elections.

Well, I feel seen. 🤓

Also - it's my birthday! Sharing these or any other articles of mine, or a link to my site kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com, helps a lot! And if you really want to make my day and help me stay writing, a subscription of any amount really does make a huge difference! ko-fi.com/kimimi

It's my birthday today and I got the gift of fan art from @nixhegemonia.bsky.social 😁

Cats was also more profitable than OpenAI, having lost only $25 million.

It's absolutely okay, and even good for you, to pirate books written by the enemies of humanity. Knowing how they wish to be seen (truth is only ever between the lines) is insight into their behavior. So how about that JD Vance book

Boy. When I get my EU citizenship...

Vampire Therapist für die Nintendo Switch im Test #VampireTherapist #NintendoSwitch

MUKKE is out today! It's a genuinely cool game/music making machine with a hyper-local Berlin focus, meaning it's unlike anything else in your Steam library. I play your emotionally disturbed protagonist!

Hey, whatever gets us off social media entirely so that we can focus our efforts and our angst within our spheres of control is a-okay with me!

My favorite character to write in Oh, Apollo is this guy — a philosopher who uses complex reasoning to get out of doing any work. Starting with Zeno's paradox! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeno%27... But don't worry, the rest of the cast is weirdos too. 🥰

Let he who is without sin write the first bluesky post.

Don't be scared of therapy. It's just a video game; it can't hurt you! Today's the last day before Vampire Therapist goes back into the Steam not-on-sale vault, whither all video games are forgotten for a time. [insert buy now cta]

The HBO Harry Potter trailer should be put in a museum along with the Snow White remake trailer. They are both sterling examples of the early 21st century Nothingness aesthetic that cultural historians will write about some day. I'm just going to pretend it's 2120 already and be mystified.

We're really stoked about this! Little Bat Games has been doing the writing and narrative design on "Oh Apollo!", with @ecmsquared.bsky.social of Baldur's Gate 3 fame joining @ahoymehearties.bsky.social . If you're missing our brand of bold weirdo humor, you want to play this one!

This wonderful article by Andreas is a must-read if you enjoyed Hob's Barrow, do check it out! (Beware spoilers!!)

Someone asked me why I decided to leave AAA and go indie and I said: "I was tired of large corporations poorly paying and underappreciating me, so I decided to poorly pay and underappreciate me myself."

The only game where Matthew Mercer plays a sexy German goth and lets you bite his neck is on sale now. There will be no other video games where he plays a sexy German goth. This is it.⚰️ Buy it now! ⚰️ store.steampowered.com/bundle/50334...

Spring cleaning… but it’s your emotional baggage🌷 Vampire Therapist is on sale now on Steam!

Vampire Therapist Review #Xbox #XboxSeries #VampireTherapist  www.thexboxhub.com/vampire-ther...

I did a voiceover gig yesterday where I had to play a cool person who goes to clubs. Maybe they can fix it in post.

Nowruz is a holiday of renewal, of fresh starts, and second chances. The future of Iran is with its youth, not with the insecure, pathetic old men who fight them both within and without. Nowruz is not for them.

If you believe in liberal democracy and the rule of law, this game might bolster your belief. 🫂

If you're not Marc Andreessen, you might enjoy Vampire Therapist! If you *are* Marc Andreessen, please play Vampire Therapist. (it's on sale)

Vampire Therapist is a poignant exploration of what it means to truly live and a gentle reminder to keep our hearts and minds open to change — even when it feels scary. Our full review: retconmagazine.com/vampire-ther...

Tonight in Vienna! Met a familiar lady today for the Isabella d'Este fans. 😁

The sorts of people who destroy history (like the Taliban) are the sorts of people who would like their own history not to be examined. As an Iranian-American and a historian, fuck these people. People like me will write their histories, and we will not be kind.

Stoked to still be getting reviews this far along. 😌 We sought to make a long-tail game in a zero-day algorithm-driven sales environment, and somehow, we pulled it off.
