I just finished a playthrough of Siderius Plug’s SPINE by @backwardsttrpg.bsky.social

I’ve tried other solo rpg and journal games in the past, but none have kept my attention the way that SPINE has.

It’s the kind of thing I want to send my copy to my fellow video essayists to see how they react.

It’s not real. One of the ways you can tell is that it’s not a punchline.

Anyone who tries to improve on Peanuts (or Calvin and Hobbes etc) by slapping their own inspo memes over the text — I’m begging you to make your own comics because this was already perfection: www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1990...

NEW VIDEO: Big business is a death cult worshipping a many-faced Techno God. In an industry full of takers who want to eradicate the makers, so-called AI promises a nonsensical fantasy where games are made for free and sold to a world of laid off former workers. It is unhinged.

I hate Ai, but I also hate angrily posting about Ai, I'd much rather be celebrating awesome projects that don't use it. More of this, please.

My Holes video just became my 5th most viewed video on the channel. I’ve been really happy with a lot of the responses to it.

If you are one of those folks that compiles year end lists for the best video essay, maybe give this one a look 👀

I am so happy to have spent my final night in #over/under playing someone playing prospero. There are so ma y literary layers to this thing it’s amazing
We put on a play tonight, in #Over/Under, and I am amazingly proud of our entire cast and crew! Every one of you is amazing!

Posting more #over/under art! It is such a shame my workload tripled this last week and kept me from my actual job: drawing buildings and environments for fake money. It has been such an amazing experience to participate in and hopefully I can finish out my queue and post it here if anything.

Come to d0c's! 100% of our surveyed patients said they survived.

Fantastic bunch of weirdos I somehow teamed up with in #over/under. Our collective bit of organised chaos in the much bigger organised chaos.
I am finally in the process of making a group picture of all of the clinicians in #over/under. I still have a few folks I need to include, but it’s been wild to see how much this group has grown
