another benefit of buying drm-free ebooks that I can read in my web browser? the ability to edit them to fix the discrete/discreet errors that so many editors don't seem able to catch #judgingyou

Watching video analysis of bad games is fascinating and work-relevant but sometimes dangerous because it leads to thoughts of "I know this would be a TERRIBLE idea and considered HUGELY problematic by everyone but it would be sort of funny if I riffed on this..."

“Then they shouldn’t have voted for this!” Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

Y’all, the Castlevania: Awakening In The Moonlight musical by Takarazuka Revue is available legally on VOD with subtitles starting today until the end of March, this is a great adaptation and the women in this show are so good, PLUS this is a rare experiment globally Please see it if you’re curious

We are once again trying to update Long Live The Queen to use a more recent version of RenPy! If you own the game and have some free time to poke it, have a look (Also threw a Zorana pic into the bonus gallery!) store.steampowered.com/news/app/251...

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

I have always said it, I will continue to say it, we are limiting the productive potential of millions of freaks by demanding they earn a wage to survive instead of enabling them to do whatever thing their brain is broken for

hey! i'm doing a winter sale, though not of games - but of my packs of moody, atmospheric photos of Maine! A Place Without Bodies volumes 1&2! over *600* photos, *with* license for commercial use, at 2/3rds off - just $20! great for projects of all kinds! lasts till jan 5th! ko-fi.com/s/bc50ecb11f

While it doesn't often occur, you CAN die in Galaxy Princess Zorana much, much faster than you can die in Long Live The Queen. Not to the 'assassin' in the bedroom, but it is possible to go to Myrkka I to meet the Electors and piss them off *so badly* that you get assassinated on that mood phase!

discovering with annoyance that a tvtropes work page was cut because it wasn't edited frequently enough i'm sorry, since when did they become "we only want to talk about active fandoms"?

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

I had missed this post on my game Christine's Care Steam forum (store.steampowered.com/app/3317630/...) I replied today with my thoughts. If you like LGBT games you can simply buy the game to prove this person wrong! 😇

My new friend I made in the TSA line got flagged for having a suitcase full of raw hotdogs. Happy holidays.

A bit of a postmortem - the worst roadblocks we ran into over a long development cycle, what drove us to the insanity of releasing a niche narrative indie game over Thanksgiving, how the first month on Steam shook out, and hopes for the future! #indie #gamedev old.reddit.com/r/gamedev/co...

For this Christmas I want a new Ace Attorney game 🎅

⚠️ TR-49 -- an archive of books that don't exist ⚠️ We began investigating through a simple prototype - before we built the machine. The "game" has moved far, far beyond this now. But the old prototype is "playable". You may find it revealing. ❗ www.inklestudios.com/tr-49/pinboa...

i tripped over someone else's shopping and fell on wet bricks :(

All of my games are in the Itch winter sale, including games not available on Steam and the newest game which I'm not allowed to discount on Steam again for another ten days: hanakogames.itch.io

In 2026 I hope you get freakier and get plenty of money and become the cutest or scariest you wanna be and that your hard earned talents and hobbies reward you endlessly

My free yandere yuri visual novel Your glass heart in my hands has been translated into Russian! You can find the VN on Itchio 🙏✨ 🫀 ebihime.itch.io/glass-heart #yuri #yurivn

the simultaneously smug and guilty feeling to be the one playing an EA game hard enough to uncover bugs and have to report them for fixes

very spacey theme there isn't it? 😂🚀

Interested in game-writing? In early 2026 we'll be publishing a kaleidoscope: short articles by 100+ game writers - experts, freelancers, and juniors - about the craft. ~1/3 of them are in: multiple bangers, from some very famous names and games. Sign up to be notified when it's ready here:

I launched Duskpunk a month ago!🥳 How did it go? What did I learn? And is the "Citizen Sleeper-like" a viable commercial genre? clockworkbird.net/one-month-af...

In Where Winds Meet I drank from a mysterious pot labeled "do not drink" that turned me into a shibe inu, and then I found a nearby mahjong table with 3 other dogs and joined them for a round of Dog Mahjong. Hell yeah.

Not surprising that my numbers are lower this year, what with needing to finish Zorana, an intense hyperfixation and associated discord fandom to distract me, and pouring most of my gaming time into the easy flow of Gunlocked 2

if you see narrative people being meaner about larian than it sounds like they deserve, trust me, we've been waiting for this one

I do not want Gaston backstory, I do not need Gaston backstory, I reject Gaston backstory he is a fully formed oaf, consuming eggs by the dozen in one of the greatest villain songs ever written, and that is all we need of him

"wow i didn't even know [game] came out" i mean. this is why devs always tell you to wishlist everything. if you hear about an upcoming game you're interested in, just wishlist it. then you'll know when it's out, instead of leaving it to chance whether or not you hear about it on social media

my new game "a dialect for two" is out now! wow. two android girls chronicle their relationship, their desires, and their relationship to those desires. made for #rorojam with music composed by @speedynoelle.bsky.social! it is about 10k words. there is adult content. lacunova.itch.io/dialect

I’m delighted to open submissions for my anthology, "Passing Strange: Queer Weird Arthurian Tales"! We're wanting Arthurian stories with LGBTQ+ protags and spec-fic elements. Check out the Submissions page on my website! Link in comments. #arthuriana #callforsubmissions #lgbtqbooks #queerbooks

Heads up, Gale Wings just got a full English translation: patchy-illusion-team.itch.io/legend-of-door Haven't played it yet, but heard of it as a cult classic among Japanese RPG Maker circles, pushing the engine to its limit to make a massive RPG that demands exploration and critical thinking.

Sheer Spite's US store, started after it stopped being feasible to ship to the US from Canada, is coming along well! Tell a US-american you know who likes zines? Also all these are available at wholesale rates if you know a store you'd like to see them stocked :) sheerspite.bigcartel.com

He was probably an outlier and shouldn't be counted. I think we should take like 50 billionaire volunteers to do a full scientific trial of this theory and televise it live.

Look Outside is not only an amazing survival RPG, it has the same artist & composer as the never-released Barkley 2. Really cool that they recovered from that and are making games again, their stuff is just too good! TRUE DOOM-MURDER HEADS, unite!

happy birthday, that one random girl from my class growing up who i was literally never friends with and yet her birthday somehow fixed itself into my brain forever when my actual friends' didn't
