Getting a hamster is speedrunning the circle of life. Once again reminded that dying is such an involved affair and I’m REALLY not coping great with it. It’s funny though, I strongly feel like my dying hamster is a minuscule mirror. One day I‘ll be there too! Life, man.

WHAT A WEEK. another one where I feel like a) I‘m incredibly competent at my job b) I have roughly 25% too little energy for it. Like, this is why people take performance enhancing drugs, don’t they. (Not for me, I’m comfortable with mediocrity & basic human frailty, I guess.) Still. Ouf.

Consume Me is finally out! This game blew me away when I looked at it for IGF. It deals with the real pressures of growing up as a teenage girl while telling that story through a whirlwind of delightful QWOP-like minigames. It’s charming and fun and smart and I hope everyone checks it out.

did you feel stupid, fat, lazy, and ugly in high school? well i did...but at least i made a life-simulation RPG about it!

I have become an audiobook person 🧐 absolutely lovely walk yesterday while listening to The Tainted Cup. Aaaand then I stayed up past 1am to finish it. Too much fun!! I did enjoy the mystery hunt for clues precisely because they weren’t too sophisticated for me (I’m dumb)

Clair Obscur has grabbed me now, took a while! this is the single JRPG that I have EVER bothered to learn parrying for. (Let’s just say I’m, ah, surprised at the extremely blatant shipteasing between the teenager and the centenarian. I don’t mind, just unexpected!)

It’s summer, I’m reading the conclusion to The Last King of Osten Ard, having a grand time! There’s just this 1 avoidable flaw. Why, Tad, why, is it so unrelentingly straight. Give me just ONE gay monk! Or Lesbian elf! ANYone!

Oh. Huh. Obviously I will wash purchased clothes before wearing them? Not American, either.
Right. Ok. What. I mean. I have literally literally never met anyone who washes brand new clothes before they wear them. I don't think I've ever even heard of someone doing it, let alone it being so common that NOT doing it is considered mad. Is this a psyop? Am I being Truman Show'd?
I have a friend who always wears any new clothes he buys before he washes them, because he says that’s the “crispiest” they’ll ever be, and whenever anyone uses the phrase “there are 2 kinds of people in this world,” he’s the very first person to pop into my head

Oh fascinating. I (extremely indirectly) contributed to this some years back, sad to see it fail so completely. So many cautionary tales in one project.

3 months ago, I wrote this about centrist parties aping the far right, and how it's not just immoral, but suicidal. This is not secret knowledge. It's the most reliable effect in world politics. It's watching 40 guys getting killed by the same gorilla, one by one, and stepping up to take your turn.

Something of interest to PC gamers of #gamesky: a very accomplished friend of mine built an unofficial search for GOG.com - it’s called gamesieve.com and you should bookmark it immediately if you, too, have a hard time discovering cool games and deals on GOG. Give it a whirl!

Concluding the Solavellan romance, maximizing the car crash experience one dialogue option at a time: 🫣😘👌. Delicious. Idiotic. Would recommend for an entertainingly bad time. (Just finished Trespasser! Ah so fun with all the lore hindsight.)

Hoo boy. If you’re narrating an audiobook of War & Piece, you better have a working knowledge of French!! This reader isn’t bad, just entirely unsuited. (Imagine „diner“ pronounced American Midwest in a German audiobook about 19th century Russian society. 🫠)
