I finished my first solo release of the year! The Couple Next Door: Reflections is a short exploration of the life of a couple with some unhealthy dynamics. It’s an O2A2 entry so it’s pretty minimalistic and experimental. You can give it a shot here: theartofgaming.itch.io/the-couple-n...

Twice now I've engrossed the local writing group in passionate discussions of cannibalism. Latest hypothetical was "if a ghost human possessed a cow and then a person ate the cow, would that be cannibalism because it had a human consciousness inside of it when dying?" I don't even like cannibalism.

its the last day of pride month but please never stop being proud of who you are

I feel morally and legally obligated to quote retweet this. It's one of my favorite games, is fully VAed, and has a fantasy paranormal mystery with romance. It's so lesbian and I adore it to bits. Works on Steam Deck, too!!

After going to a lesbian bar with a good friend last night and being surprised with a funeral service dance party (that wasn't listed on the venue's events page), I've realized that there are two types of lesbians: - Party lesbians - Librarian lesbians I'm librarian lesbians.

I hate how pretty Midnight looks in this photo because this was right after I turned the burner off. He was mocking me.

I just need a semi-large robot that stands around in my apartment and dances on loop like an Animal Crossing gyroid

Only disassociated twice while driving today! Yay...?

Had a tasty lunch break treat of Coke Coffee in the Live Laugh Lobster shaker

Okay, the Taco Bell raspberry vodka slushie is wearing off. I'm gonna say it: I don't know why I ever thought "would" to this thing. I'm a lesbian! Why would I be into this?

This is to say that I watched Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk last night and that shit's gay as hell. I love sapphic romance being normalized

I'm still not used to media that's explicitly sapphic—women that explicitly talk about crushing on other women & acting on those desires. I've just been very deeply entrenched in heteronormativity for many years. Example: if I see adult women holding hands, my immediate thought is they're sisters.

I think this "four 10 hour workday shifts in a week" thing is killing me. I didn't think an extra two hours of work a day would be so difficult, but I just feel so dead after every day... It'll stop in a few weeks. At least the cats are still elated to see me.

in this world there are 2 kinds of commit messages

Thank you to my friends for teaching my dehydrated ass that vampires "biting people" is apparently not a literal thing and is some sort of metaphor for sex. Apparently, I need to watch more vampire movies because I thought they just fucking killed people!!

complaining and bemoaning is one thing but I don't think catatrophizing about vn dev is particularly helpful nor will it make you feel better

💗 Do youuuuu make a romance visual novel? HAVE you made a romance visual novel? Sign up for this Steam festival! Arimia is one of the most legit of the legits and I can absolutely vouch for her and her team! Feel free to share to your favorite romance VN devs!

meemo/aspen from please be happy :> (i love them)

I've been a lot genuinely happier since I I've started going out to social events out of my comfort zone. I'm going to try doing it even more. I'm almost thirty and yet I still feel like I still haven't done so much. I've always written things, never experienced them. It's time to change that.

I'm hosting Gender Bender Jam 2026! If you've wanted to create gender bender, TG, TF and TSF games and media, join the jam, find some team mates and have fun! 🖇️ in thread! #genderbenderjam2026 #amare #indiegame #visualnovel #indiedev

Any other visual novel developers going to be at Phoenix Comicon/Phoenix Fan Fusion/Phoenix Fan Fusion tomorrow? I'm going to be there! Say hi! I want to meet more VN devs!!

It's 4 PM. I've listened to the The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals soundtrack on constant loop constantly for the past three work days. I bought it on the StarKids website. youtube.com/playlist?lis... It's still a bop. I think the mind-controlling musical goop could fix me

For Aris Birthday 🥳 @arimiadev.com

Once upon a time....

Watched the part of Shrek at the beginning where he's alone and sad. This gave me the disturbing realization that Shrek was doing more self-care than I was, so I bought some food to remedy that.

I made it worse. Happy Pride month, Heart of the Woods fans

I've been doing Shrek edits of the Heart of the Woods characters. I can't discern exactly WHY I'm doing it, but it's still fun lol Heart of the Woods is a yuri romance game with a ghost lesbian and trans character. It's on Steam and Nintendo Switch: store.steampowered.com/app/844660/H...

Does anyone have a good book or guide on how to figure out when a person is flirting with you? I'm autistic and a lesbian so the odds are stacked against me. I want to use this knowledge to write flirty women. Thank you.
