so excited to be part of an amazing anthology, along with so many inspiring writers - thank you so much for putting this together @ehronlime.bsky.social !!!!!
I've been talking about this with some people, and I really think this might happen, and I'm going to do my part as well to make it so. 2026 the year of anthologies and magazines and building communities through making things together. I'm starting early with eraserflag: ehronlime.itch.io/eraserflag

eraserflag is a zine about independent games in Malaysia, available in print and now online on itch. Vol 12 has the theme of "Openings", and features a great selection of local writers and gamemakers writing about indie games that we love.

“try water fox or ice weasel” try chill penguin. install flame mammoth. you just download bubble crab. literally just use boomer kuwanger. sting chameleon has a search bar, use it to find toxic seahorse.
I asked what I should use instead of firefox and someone said “floorp” and I legitimately thought it was a bit for like five minutes. tech has gone beyond making the torment nexus real to making poob real.

We don't get a lot of data about the gender breakdown of specific games, so I wanted to graph the ratio of female to male players for games released on Sega Channel.
The data is from a document acquired by the Video Game History Foundation: archive.gamehistory.org/item/0bb0d61...
