Making my way through the “On Violence” chapter in The Wretched of the Earth right now, and I can say with complete certainty Fanon would have fucked with Xenogears
Y’all think Frantz Fanon would have fucked with Xenogears?

This is incredibly painful for me. I have never asked for help like this before. But I have had people reach out to me asking if they can help, so I am sharing my story and finally asking for help.

I've been lucky to have a lovely group of followers here, please share if you can, anything helps <3

I knew The Game Awards would never be graced by the warmth of God’s light when they didn’t nominate 1000xRESIST - the best video game narrative in recent memory - for…anything

Couldn’t make any Goodnight Universe posts pop off on Reddit. Spooky. Indie game marketing folks, how do y’all crack that?

Soemthing about a game about a psychic baby that brings out the most unhinged fans. I love it lmao, makes community management way more fun

Rise of the Ronin propaganda on my timeline, waited almost two years for this.

This is how being a ROTR enjoyer usually feels like.

Still floating after getting my first video game credit (along with @moemalik.bsky.social) when Goodnight Universe launched a few days ago. Deeply thankful to Nice Dream for bringing us on to spearhead marketing/community.

A lot more we’d like to do within gaming. So first of many credits, I hope 🤞🏾

It's not often that I get to publicly talk about the games I consult on. It was so rewarding to mock review Goodnight Universe before release, especially as someone who has such a strong personal connection to Before Your Eyes. Goodnight Universe is achingly beautiful, go play it! 💜

That fire title + "emo visual novel x rhythm game" -- I've seen enough. Immediate wishlist.

The possibility of running into a physical copy of Goodnight Universe in a Book Off in Japan one day…

Friends! GOODNIGHT UNIVERSE is finally out.

So proud of the squad at Nice Dream for the work they’ve put into this beautiful game. Developing a follow up to Before Your Eyes is no easy feat, but they did it.

It’s out mostly everywhere now. Switch 1 soon. Can’t wait to hear what y’all think! 🙏🏾
Goodnight Universe. Available NOW on PC, PS5, XBOX, and Switch 2 💫

A psychic baby narrative adventure. Hone your powers. Mend a broken family. Take on an evil tech company. Nothing a baby can't do, right?

If you’ve ever felt different...this story is for you.
