the dawn of a new era (or 新時代の扉 if you prefer the original title) is here as we start white album 2 (wholesome eroge about the beautiful seishun experience of being in a rock band) and fate/proto fragments (a confusingly told story about dating your sister’s ex) moonarchive.art/ep-128

setsuna's my girl

writing something non-historical yet early/pre-modern comes with endless iterations of this moment, when I write someone throwing trash into a trash can and then realize I don't know when they invented trash cans

I don't have words for this. I haven't had words for this in a long time

The case for invading Iraq was based on lies. The Trump administration’s case for war with Iran hardly exists at all.

my body has been destroyed by the cursed snow shovel and the dark work it portends

(banging my cowbell really loud) MARIN ARKNIGHTS WRITING. HEY IDIOTS COME GET THE BEST SHIT YOU’RE GONNA SEE ALL WEEK

taking a moment away from stressing over writing to fiddle with anime girl figurines...

hey soufflé had a tumor removed yesterday and she's doing well! unfortunately it cost $700 dollars more than the estimate, my car battery failed on the way to pick her up, and my wife's new job hasn't paid yet so things are suddenly very tight and i'm asking for help www.paypal.com/paypalme/ikb...

lrt good article about how regardless of all the bombastic problems with llms and their ilk, the way llm customers are being taught to behave is fundamentally incompatable with anyone interested in sharing skills and teach and learning and other like, basic joys of being alive

LLM Slop Will Make Us Antisocial - Ruminations on IFComp 2025 mimidoshima.neocities.org/main/posts/2... i wrote about recent events in the interactive fiction community and how it emboldened me to fight against vibe coders and LLM slop.

brushing up on my kanji memorization by starting wanikani over from zero

this was a really fun ep to record and you should listen to it and tell me how good and insightful we were. and read shuukura and talk to me about it

if you’re not in minneapolis and you want a place to kick money, the big rent relief fund for our highest-concentration immigrant neighborhood is less than 10k from their goal for february. it would be a big help just to take pressure off some of the most vulnerable www.gofundme.com/f/support-ph...

shit's crazy man, help out some people who could really use it

ah you know I've always been saying that arknights is too fun to play and interesting to read. thank fuck they finally fixed that

strapping lads, the both of them

in lieu of my inevitable thoughts on muramasa, please enjoy this in-depth review by my wife, who rolled over in bed while I was in the demon ending and said "wow, that elf girl's got great boobs"

it turns out the full metal daemon was the muramasa we made along the way....

the doll and kigu jam just wrapped up! i ended up shelving my project due to some personal life stuff but you should go check out what got made! quickly! you have to!! itch.io/jam/dollandk...

best Video game Sprite ever made

had to bring my cat to the vet the other day and now I'm sick. think i caught cat disease

i promise to become a weirder and more offputting artist in the year to come

i kept busy this last year. podcast never missed an ep... did 3 visual novels... lets see if we can't get it up to 10 next year

not even a mention huh... great news for reckless sympathy dev, terrible news for Benn

man... more people should play connect the dots... i know its physically painful to read... but thats part of what makes it good...

lrt lotta cool stuff on that list, and I'm not just talking about the games what I made

the High Impact Awards 2025, the most important awards ceremony that i just came up a few hours ago, is here. it's a list of media i like a lot but haven't had the time to write about them as full posts. i hope people discover new things out of it: mimidoshima.neocities.org/main/posts/2...

and now, for everyone listening in the correct way (as soon as it drops at 1x speed) the prequel episode is now available www.patreon.com/posts/146656...

my film photos from the holiday ep are still out for development, but look forward to them in the new year. i worked very hard for them

i went outside for this

i won't ask you to listen to this episode, our solstice specials are performance art not meant for consumption, but please at least enjoy the photos from our walk. we took a bunch and some of them are pretty!

and here's a thread of the photos i snapped. benn's are definitely prettier but alas film takes time to develop so you're stuck with mine for the time being

it's arcueid's birthday and that means it's the fate/moon archive solstice special! this year we go on a walk and talk about dystopia moonarchive.art/ep-122

it's Arcueid's birthday, all white women were born today, happy birthday white women

nothing says the holidays like visual novels about evil gay women

play this one too amensalism.itch.io/pinfeather

augh someone musta tweeted about me. terrifying. go play my games cryingrulesactually.itch.io/mothxflame

for anyone curious, yes I do have nice scans of all the photos, and yes I could take nice shots of the pencils to show off. posting blurry indecipherable glimpses at what I'm working on is one of my many charm points

also got my first couple rolls of film developed at long last... here's a selection of some favs

more practice Glorys... i honestly feel like side-on has become my best face angle

the new arknights roguelike theme is so fun... I'm a loser cat who's addicted to gambling

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

greatly amused by the fact that by trying to avoid the 10x cost modify for 'trendy' when buying an old film camera, i ended up with one that needs a battery size that now sees use almost exclusively in dog shock collars

glory looks a bit too babyface tonight, but i gotta be honest getting any more detail into like a square inch was more than I could manage

secret second fic that i banged out over my lunch break…arknights bear girls got me in a real stranglehold…kind of like the stranglehold zima has rosa in, in my fic, which you can and should read right now…it’s very short archiveofourown.org/works/75579156

hell yeah
