Consume Me is finally out! This game blew me away when I looked at it for IGF. It deals with the real pressures of growing up as a teenage girl while telling that story through a whirlwind of delightful QWOP-like minigames. It’s charming and fun and smart and I hope everyone checks it out.

"Thingus" (nicknamed "The Show America Turns To") refers to a live show that is me, Joe Gran, and my big sister Meredith Gran (nicknamed OFF ("Our Favorite Family") by the Thingizens (nickname for our fans)) and it's called "A Thingus to the Past" every Wednesday at 8:30 EST twitch.tv/granulac

This one’s shaping up to be *amazing*. I’ve played part of a beta build I can say firsthand that if you liked the original PT you will love the sequel.

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

last night as i was trying to wind down for bed i had a unified theory of what the fuck just happened, and i wrote it down, and filed it under "well, i can't talk about this on main without sounding insane until and unless the perp gets caught and is provably a groyper" anyways, great news! (1/X)

Convos from Thingus: Charlie Kirk spent his life playing a victim, until he became one for real. Rest in peace, because he never had a chance to live in peace. He wasn't for anyone, not even himself. Conservatives are not dedicated, they are suicidal. They are ride or die. Well he rode, and he dode.

Perfect Tides: Station to Station will be part of this showcase! Tune in for a new trailer and lots of amazing looking games!

"Punches That Land" by Meredith Gran is a case study and craft talk about transforming web comics into video games. It's rich in concrete examples of how sequential art, especially the creative use of digital panels and interaction, deepens the narrative. #comics youtu.be/GYXChZJ-Ybo?...
