wreksyft chapter three starts tomorrow!!!! see you there >:)

You are here, on a social media website. This is a real place to you and you've decided to live here part-time. It's changing you. It's even changing people who don't participate. There is a gigantic migration. The classical, physical world is sparsely populated, running out of people, and starving.

new experimental TCG series on Saturdays, this September!

hi : ) wreksyft @boshis.place, running every saturday in september. imbue a deck of playing cards with a shard of your soul, then duke it out with friends new and old as you play in an entirely unreplicable card game league 1002 metropolitan ave. noon. september 6th. see you there!+ <3

still the first real card game. could it be the last? play wreksyft to be more human than you were before.

"I need to be good at art to make art therefore I require the image generator" you fool. you utter embarrassment. go make something out of paper clips coward

six hours later we're still going, this is the most fun I've ever had playing a card game lol

running a mini wreksyft league today to do some playtesting ahead of the @boshis.place league next month : ) thanks for syfting @dustyisforever.bsky.social @talentedgambler.bsky.social (and our friend kate who isn't on bluesky)

can't get the phrase "transgender deleuzian breakup" out of my head

i highly recommend hand-washing a big felt tablecloth, if you get the chance. been sitting here rinsing out stains and picking out lint and I'm quite at peace.

it's lowkey kind of annoying that I've accidentally cultivated a mysterious aura by being generally extremely skittish. people that want to be my friend keep saying they thought I was too scary lol

getting really into skincare lately! really loving the routine of: 1) moisturize my face every 2 days - 2 weeks 2) splash some water around a couple times a day (works best after being awake for more than 18 hours) 3) picking at scabs 4) picking at scabs 5) picking at scabs 6) picking at scabs 7) p

this is infantilizing dogshit intended to expand indefinitely. yeah, actually, adults are allowed to think and talk about rape or pedophilia or bestiality because those things exist in the world, the domain of adults. this is the work of finance monopolies deciding you're a child to be shepherded.

don't know how many ways to say to people on here that it's the billionaires that are at the heart of everything. everything about our current rot and the failing of public institutions is being driven from the top down. it certainly doesn't reflect any kind of mass popular will or opinion.

fandom is a kind of prion disease

fun trick to digest a heavy movie is that u can sit in silence after watching it

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

just got eaten by a worm in the dune mmo. i lost all my meticulously curated expedition gear, plus a bike I'd just finished building. i was offered a pity gift to soften the blow, rejected it, and got an achievement: "Lisan al-Gaib". this game is so fucking stupid im having a great time

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

I see good indie devs burn themselves out on huge projects and suddenly come out of hiatus with a little game that is way better and more focused than their prison opus and every time I want to scream: just do those games

cut some holes in the building slots of my arcs board (so the buildings sit flush) and painted backgrounds for them : )

Campaign Arcs is the best board game i have *ever* played. nothing has overwhelmed my hunger for contextual decisionmaking quite like this since CanLander back when i used to play Magic. such an incredible procedural rendition of the processes of history.

abandoned hospital

played some high tide in the basement of an abandoned hospital this afternoon : ) @marcelineleiman.bsky.social

@hanwenxumame.bsky.social and i have been making this game

in pondlife: discone (a videogame), you can jump & surf on anything. there's no hard distinction between wall or ground. there's also no combo meter or trick button, you move your character (her name is icecream) and make it all up. #discone #jump #climbing #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

!NEWLY COMMISSIONED FOR INDIEPOCALYPSE! Daydream Heartbeat Cure is an auto-biographic poetic expression dealing with chronic depression and isolation. Help Blue find relief in a lonely moment by dreaming big and beautifully. By @spacelionz.bsky.social pizzapranks.itch.io/indiepocalypse-64

“The game industry as an institution is the enemy of a healthy, vibrant field of game-making. The foundation of game design is rotten, wet and filled with maggots.” The 21st “ludic century” as actually revealing games as a fascistic art. A complete deconstruction is the only way forward.

the need for larger quantitaties of mechanical effort to extract meaning from a video game is not related to the caloric density of that meaning

the new tim rogers is really interesting if you're already aware of the broader goals of the project he's been working on? he's constantly burying really nuanced analysis under mountains of "fancy prose idiot jokes", which is typical, but this is nine and a half hours of that

hey - i hosted this! it was an incredibly high quality collection of games this year being shown! i also made a little speech about the state of the game industry (and the world) at the beginning. please watch and enjoy!

"when we say experimental art we tend to mean whatever makes no money. and so just by existing this work performs a useful purpose, by demonstrating the gap between what’s materially possible and what’s economically possible." myfriendpokey.tumblr.com/post/7781185...

i should take a career detour and ruin the fine art world
