The seas glow before us,
The lighthouse shines bright,
When you play Pelogos,
You become the only light.

Pelogos is now available on itch.io!

kobanya.itch.io/pelogos
In the background are chains floating in a dark blue ocean. In the foreground is a quote from the game Pelogos, and the name of the game itself underneath. "Giovanni had a saying: 'There's no mercy in The Mercī.' Gigi was always too serious, but she had a point: The Mercī isn't a fun day at the beach. It's a right proper sea, and should be treated with respect. And yeah, a dash of fear." - Sammy Heathglen. A blue nautical drawing of some type of sea creature takes up the lefthand side of the image on a white background. The top left and bottom right corners are bordered by blue links of chain. In the top right is "Pelogos". Below it reads, "A game about exploring death, grief, and what lies beyond our current existence."

Took me a bit, but it's the Sasuraibito Deck! The Chariot is a really intense horse lmao
The Chariot from the Sasuraibito tarot deck. The image is of an armored horse with only its upper body showing. The horse is rearing and looks ready to fight anyone that opposes them.

Two page spread of "Come Out From Your Grave". The art on the left is a spirit standing over a woman praying in front of a cross tombstone with candles on its base. The ghost is pointing as if giving directions. The Cosmere Roleplaying Game logo atop a starry background, next to mockups of the Stormlight and Mistborn world guides. A color cover illustration for the Little Wolves TTRPG with muted purples, blues, greens, yellows, and reds, with black line art. The title logo is done in a yellow stylized blackletter ambigram style that reads the same upside down and right-side up. The logo sits in front of a large red moon. The main focal point of the composition is a young werewolf with glowing eyes, running along with two wolves behind them. The werewolf is tangled in the vines emerging from the silhouetted trees that frame the composition. Along the edges of that frame, in four circular vignettes created by the branches and vines, there are cameos of the four queens of the game: the witch queen, the troll queen, the pumpkin queen, and the mermaid queen. A banner along the bottom of the cover reads “A realm of folk and fae from Dinoberry Press" Image 3: "The MCDM RPG" laid over a battle scene with heroes fighting against monsters using various weapons and abilities.

This character was already reprehensible, so I really shouldn't be all that surprised when shit like this comes out of his mouth. (I Grabbed the Leash of the Blind Beast)

I haven't read a single Charles Dickens novel and I don't intend to start now 😌
Screenshot of a Discord message I sent yesterday evening that reads, "Charles Dickens is a miserable writer to read and I much prefer getting all my Dickensian content via furry movies and tumblr sexymen movies"

"You think you can beat me, Scroogey! Well I hired my OWN band of K Pop stars, and they all have abs!!! LOOK AT EM! LOOK AT THEM AND WEEP, SCROOGE!!! MUAHAHAHAHA"
The stage from KPop Demon Hunters where the Saja Boys are performing "Your Idol" while Gwi-Ma, as personified by a super terrifying red flame is behind them. Glomgold from Ducktales is superimposed on the image, making it seem like he is rising into the air along with the Saja Boys to the delight and excitement of the crowd.

This is why we gotta go back to gatekeeping. Come up with a new set of "facts" to make the price go back down. 😂

Oh it just leads to a webpage with instructions. No camera required.

But here's a picture of the routine, since I also keep it taped to my work cabinet lol
The darebees eye workout routine. Step 1: Look up and hold for 3 seconds then look down and hold for another 3 seconds. Repeat 3 times in total. Step 2: Look right and hold for 3 seconds then look left and hold for another 3 seconds. Repeat 3 times in total. Step 3: Look to the top left corner of your eye and hold for 3 seconds. Look to the top right and hold for another 3 seconds. Repeat 3 times. Step 4: Rotate your eyeballs 3 times to the right and then 3 times to the left. Blink several times to relax. Step 5: Close your eyes tight nd hold for 10 seconds. Relax. Step 6: Open your eyes wide and hold for 10 seconds. Blink repeatedly to relax and complete the workout.

To all the lady knight appreciators, I'm sorry. I was unfamiliar with your game.

I am seated and taking copious notes.

Slightly offscreen is the sword she's holding and pointing at her opponent. She has brown hair and golden eyes, and her expression is one of intense, but quiet rage.

Birthday monarch determined to do nothing today but vibe 💃🏾

(Jacket is carmico, shirt is crowlines, crown is from Big Bad's runway thing in '23)
A selfie of me, Basil! I'm Afronative and wearing a white jacket, blue button up with golden sparkles, and a red lanyard. I'm also wearing blue glasses and a golden crown perched on my head. My black hair is cropped short but still curly, and I'm smiling sleepily at the camera. I also have black wireless earbuds in my ears.

It's a platypus parrying game. It doesn't do much.

[Video Description: Heinz Doofenshmirtz walking in on Perry the Platypus fixing the sink as a plumber and horrified by his plumber's crack. Text overlaid on Doof is "Payment Processors" and Perry is "My Game".]

If I don't shitpost regularly, the fiendish gift will be taken from me. Probably.

Video Description: The scene where Beast (Disney's Beauty & the Beast) turns around to reveal his human form has been edited to replace his face with that of a monkey from Ace Attorney.

If our Discord group chat had a bingo sheet, "Basil complaining about cosmic horror" would be on there 😂
Screenshot of a series of Discord messages I sent, voicing my complaints about some aspects of cosmic horror. You hired me, the sexy noir detective, to find what happened to your uncle. I go to the house and no one is there, and the basement window is glowing with a green, unholy light? bitch he's dead and I'm out pour me a fucking finger of not whiskey maybe two
