I played 12 on release - stopped playing there. Went back to it 2 years ago... stopped playing there. You're having such a great time for 30 hours. THIRTY HOURS, and it's just ... yeah nah.

I love love LOVED Strange Horticulture.

IS A GOOD ONNNNE

Just did a full playthrough of Janet. From start to finish. 👀 Feels great. ...but also feels like... ...there's work to be done. 😑

Roisin Murphy never actually being sorry for saying absolutely bullshit boomer style transphobic shit remains a hugely hurtful bruise. She was such a glorious icon.

Just saw someone asking if Queer Man is "supposed to be satire" ... of what? I feel like I suddenly don't understand what satire means any more?

The Flanderization of ghibli in the public mind is just so insane to me. Acting like it’s entirely wholesome and cutesy but is really overtly anti capitalist, depict the horrors of war and environmental decline, and have TONS of body horror and depictions of death and disease. it legit annoys me

HELLO MIGW FRIENDS we're preparing something that rhymes with shmeekon and I would love to hear from cool devs that have interesting stories about... ✨humiliation✨ What are your career lowlights, embarassing situs and bad things you've learned and grown from over your career. hmu

In the face of the mass censoring of adult content happening around gaming storefronts, the community run bundle @queergamesbundle.bsky.social is a reminder of how to take some of that lost autonomy back. Here’s a trailer I made for this year's edition. Support it here: itch.io/b/3062/queer...

Pride in Amsterdam yesterday was packed as ever. Meanwhile over 50k Sydneysiders walked the harbor bridge in support of Palestine. The biggest lurch to the right has been by billionaires that own the channels we use, not the people that use them.

Did a vampire double feature yesterday, no regrets.

I call for a moratorium on g*mers using the word “lazy” until they can prove they personally have ever actually done anything themselves.

My game HFTGOOM/He Fucked The Girl Out of Me has been de-indexed by itch. Since I was worried that they might eventually take down my games, I've decided to self host my games on a personal website. You can now find my games here: taylormccue.neocities.org

If you want to actually solve the problem, instead of punishing itch, start calling payment cos Collective Shout, which is run by people who get published by Spinifex, a very terf-seeming organization, apparently needed 1,000 people to yell at visa to get this done. We got more than 1000 people.

Wild that even in the airport highballs in Japan are $3.
