Hello hi good whatever we're calling this now. Tuesday, is it? Fascinating. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY it's still SAGE time and we still have demos! In fact we have MORE demos than we did when we stopped last time because I added a few. Why would I do that? I love demo time. Which is 9:30 PM Eastern, BTW.

The good news is that I feel like I'm doing a really good job showing off cool indie stuff lately and pushing for respect for older games and all that stuff. The bad is that I played on private servers so hard I popped for a month of retail WoW. This after getting stupid pissed at Microblizz. Sigh.

You’ve heard about Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon well now get ready for Kokomo’s Mystery Dungeon Starring Mike Love

I keep this Kongregate image around as a reminder of how easily huge chunks of the video game scene can vanish without a trace. Similarly, ゲームアツマール (kinda like Japan's Newgrounds, but based on RPG Maker) died in 2023 without a single note on Western media... how many die without us even knowing?

Last night, we started playing some of the SAGE '25 demo lineup and they were the kind of demos that make you go "WOW DANG THOSE WERE GOOD DEMOS". On night two, will we continue to find gems in a gem mine? Yeah I mean, seems kinda likely. 9:30 PM, Twitch.

As they say, a rising tide lifts all boats.

Part 1 of the comic I've been working on for the past week, Coyote Helps Place the Stars!

Do you like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain? That's not at all relevant to what we're doing tonight! The Sonic Amateur Games Expo has come once again and we're gonna check out some of the vast slew of demos from the community! Sqrlmog coverage of SAGE '25 starts tonight, 9:30 PM, Twitch!

This happened a couple days ago but since I re-found the screenshot... It's been a long time since I amended my Twitch rules. Congratulations to the first winner of the Stupid Prize.

until we see concrete evidence that bsky’s tiny ass moderation team has the manpower to enforce those new content guidelines, posting CAN and SHOULD continue completely unchanged until proven otherwise, it’s empty words. call their bluff

I understand these calls for action, but sometimes they come across as ingenuine and focused on a product. I want you to make artwork because you have something to say, to explore, something to release. not because "weird" is a commodity fetish. there's a lot of unloved weird right now.

and really, I do not believe that everyone needs to "get weirder now," or that everyone needs to "make more nsfw," etc. what I do believe, however, is that everyone should look to those already making that work and sit in dialogue with them. support their work, substantiate their humanity.

TONIGHT: We are finishing Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. After that, I'm going to drop off, look at the lineup for SAGE '25 and try not to die over the thought of how many demos I'm gonna squeeze into the next week. After THAT, we'll try to squeeze Lunar 2 into the gap before Next Fest. 9:30 PM!

The BlackWarGreymon section of Digimon Adventure 02 is my ideal Digimon blend, because it's a lot of explosive boss battles interspersed with laser-shooting dragons saying things like "IF I AM A DIGITAL CREATION, DOES IT MEAN THAT THE PAIN I FEEL IN MY HEART ISN'T REAL?"

Tonight on Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete... I hope you like dungeons, because if I recall correctly we're entering the Game Arts Style Endgame, so we're gonna enter chain after chain of 'em with only occasional town breaks. It'll be great. 9:30 PM Eastern.

If I could repost this ten hundred thousand times I would do so.

random thought ive had for weeks: a version of “Virtua Cop” where Buffalo Springfield gently warns you when bad guys appear

Tonight, Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete is a sausage festival to rival Oktoberfest as every girl in the party comes down with Mysterious Illness. Can we save them? 9:30 PM Eastern. Speaking of saving people, toss money in the direction of my pal Flare, who is suffering. bsky.app/profile/flar...

"But doctor, I'm not Pagliacci?" "I know. But who do you think kept your boobs?" "NOOOOOOOOOO"

That's better. I took some healing, relaxing time off and I have done nothing but play World of Warcraft private servers for three days. Now let's get back to Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. We've got one dragon left to go and a fantastic track record so how could this end badly? 9:30 PM Eastern.

Eternally obsessed with this guy.

Hey everyone, check it out! Two more that I worked on :) These are completely different translations from the Retro Brawler Bundle versions on the Switch, and I did my absolute damnedest to make sure that full-length names for characters, skills, and items were in place for both games.

Feeling a ton of different feelings from this picture

spoiler, it's not just about psychic powers

I'm 50/50 on whether I'm taking the weekend off or if I'll be streaming something, so I figure: I'm gonna take a nap without an alarm set. If I'm awake by 8:30, maybe I'll post and stream. If I'm not, oops I fell into a weekend off. It's sleepytime roulette, please look forward to it. I sure am. *z*

In spite of my very low energy level we're back to Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete tonight. How many RPGs can you say this while playing: "Now that the bridge is fixed, we can carry on with the plot and cross it to a new challenge"? Well, here is another one. 9:30 PM Eastern.

AeresChronicles needed just 1 more illustration for his upcoming #ttrpg module, Nightfall at Thorn Hollow.

On this glorious day when my notifications are absolutely chainsaw-fucked and the internet flourishes with schadenfreude, I resume playing Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete on Twitch. Last time we climbed a tower and were invited to read an entire library. Tonight, I read a library aloud. 9:30 PM.

The unearthly beauty of mid-90s fractal worlds. Bryce3D, named so for Bryce Canyon, which inspired some of the first landscapes simulated by the software. 📖: HyperLib magazine, 1994.

You know something? I didn't know this, but it makes sense. I think I may choose to continue not to know this, because "It's about Monster Hunter" is a bit of a letdown after the fantasy constructed in my head. bsky.app/profile/blac...

NO WAIT I WENT ALL THE WAY BACK AND FOUND MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ONE

Alternately and slightly more exhaustedly....

It's the 1990s. Pokemon is making waves through the media industry. Warner Bros., wanting a piece of the pie, acquired the rights to make a cartoon based on the franchise. It's... A little different than the anime. #Vulpix #Flareon #FakeScreenshot

repost to trick someone into watching Fighting Foodons

Meme time.

In our last Lunar stream, the Magic Emperor appeared, shocking everyone! Including you. After some thought, you appreciated the foreshadowing. Writing like that is coming together to make Lunar your new favorite JRPG. You're showing up at 9:30 PM Eastern. You're giving the sqrlmog your credit card n

GUESS WHAT FUCKERS I'M CONTRABAND NOW

Greetings, Lunar Landers. Last week we battled a false Dragonmaster and his 1996 Volkswagen Swamp Frog, and met the world's angriest cleric, Jessica Alkirk. Tonight we go hang out with Ghaleon in the magic city of Vane. At 9:30 PM let's get up there and enjoy some relaxation and rest.

The first Shiren the Wanderer game is actually the second Mystery Dungeon game, made by Chunsoft because they wanted a game free from licensing issues and established characters and worlds. It didn't release in North America until 2008, 13 years after its original date, and hasn't been seen since.

I keep hearing people say "The game! So hard!" and I think, "You had seven years. Did you not train intensively in a dojo for this confrontation? When you knew your kung-fu would be tested by your most ardent struggle? I see. It was foolish to believe the Earth could be supported by such weak arms."
