So I don't forget to post this at midnight, happy Maid Day from everyone's favorite Kon 🙏 #メイドの日

go play the last jam game i did before lessons in love ruined my life and made me start writing poetry cryingrulesactually.itch.io/mothxflame

My very brave decision to put off lessons in love ch 4 until after the jam lasted about 7 hours (was sleeping). the effect this will have on my next game will be catastrophic, yet amusing

lrp ive been advised not to read kastel's lil article since im smack dab in the middle of the thing, but if you're curious why ive been making oblique references to a het groomer porn game lately, it'll give you a solid idea

The Hues of These New Colors - What Lessons in Love Means to Me mimidoshima.neocities.org/main/posts/2... The ongoing visual novel about a teacher grooming 20 students that made me try my hand at poetry. 10,000 words. I hope it captures a fragment of why I find this game inspiring.

So I don't forget to post this at midnight, happy Maid Day from everyone's favorite Kon 🙏 #メイドの日

moon archive is back for another action packed- wait, no. that's just haruki and the girls going through great emotional turmoil. at least it's fun to see the girls miserable. also! prototype is ok this time! moonarchive.art/ep-132

realizing with a dawning horror that if I don't catch up on lessons in love before the toxic yuri jam 2 begins the concequences will be catastrophic. i may never recover

wrote a poem about a big sandwich and made myself hungry. life is good. but would be better with a big sandwich

full body mri heatmap showing the desire to write poetry spreading throughout my body at various milestone points of lessons in love

new moon archive! a glimpse of big setsuna along with a couple of new character introductions keeps us well fed, and protofragments is even… good? moonarchive.art/ep-131

i use my maid day piece as my lockscreen, and as i become increasingly disconnected from reality every year the maids in turn become more naked

in other news i played moth x flame last night and it was very good. especially love the camerawork and scene direction… it really does feel like a stage production. made me think a lot about how i might wanna approach the visual side of my vns in the future. cryingrulesactually.itch.io/mothxflame

man the end of lorelei and the lazer eyes fucked me up... went from zero crying to a million crying in like ten lines

fen is a goomba, but also sick this week so be kind to faer for forgetting to post the episode until now. we finish up introductory chapter (it’s great!) and prototype is close to good? it’s coherent at least! moonarchive.art/ep-130

setsuna understands the law of balance

making a visual novel is one of the most sacred acts a human can perform

kastel's article is a great survey of moods surrounding the toxic yuri jam and it's knock on effects. i really appreciate that it captures the weird tension between the moment of incredible solidarity when the delisting happened and the broader discohesion of contributors outside of that moment

“We felt that there were not enough yuri visual novels with extreme themes we were particularly into, so we decided to take it into our own hands.” Meet 17 queer developers working on "less sugary" and, yes, even "toxic" and "bleak" wlw romance games:

If you're not one of the first thousand to play Moth x Flame, don't be left behind. Be one of the first ten thousand. cryingrulesactually.itch.io/mothxflame

whoa hell yeah when did moth x flame hit 1k downloads

had the thought that you could teach a whole writing class just on lessons in love, and then about fourteen seconds later remembered why that particular forum may be a challenging place to discuss it

gotta catch up on lessons in love before the toxic yuri jam so I can make something 100000x more insane and horny than last time

waow. toxic yuri vn jam TWO. this time with a combined of $6000 in prices, were strapping a bomb collar on every participant that only unlocks once you release a yummy toxic yuri visual novel. this is a beginner friendly jam. come make your first vn now! itch.io/jam/toxic-yu... #TOXICYURIVNJAM

If toxic yuri jam is so good, why isn't there a toxic yuri jam 2? *checks my notifications* oh shiiiiii— itch.io/jam/toxic-yu...

spending my tdov exploring new and exciting ways of being a statistical outlier: they keep finding more roots in my fucked up tooth

its trans day. i am. support me continuing to everyday. thank you

we continue our run of moderate length episodes that are listenable for normal humans with more white album 2 and proto fragments! moonarchive.art/ep-129

setsuna continues to be perfect in every way. never done anything wrong. surely this is the message of wa2

sorry folks. I've been learning about love and got distracted

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.

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....
