Finished one of the big Fallen London grinds I’ve been working on and got myself knighted. Only the 215th player so far to ever do it!

didn’t really get any fun results from metacritic that far down, but I do share a backloggd rating with Surgeon Simulator, Depression Quest, and the High School Musical 2 DS game

Definitely not just a random guy lol, he was a major figure in Trump’s first term (and has generally been an odious political figure for decades)

That’s because it’s a PWYW game, not a free game. It would have had to be set to not allow any payments at all to be exempt from the current de-indexing.

Thought up a similar pun a couple years ago, though mine didn’t have the setup to make it a complete joke

Theoretically, if nothing said “Visa” anywhere I *think* itch would be in the clear with them (still worth pressuring them anyway!), but that unfortunately is not the case with Mastercard or Stripe, which do flat out prohibit certain kinds of / all adult content.

Looked this up because I was curious: strictly speaking, Visa’s policies don’t appear to prohibit the sale of, say, incest porn, but they do prohibit using Visa’s “Marks” (like the little Visa logo in the card selector dropdown) in relation to said sale.

on an unrelated note, this was a good reminder that I should switch to a search engine that’s not going to shove this annoying AI shit in my face

I’ve seen 34 (counting One Piece, which I’ve watched the first 500 or so episodes of, and not counting Nichijou, which I’ve only seen 1 or 2 random episodes of)

if I learned one thing from An Airport for Aliens Currently Run By Dogs, it's that spawning way too many objects is always funny

@failbettergames.com Important question: When I equip one of my agents with A Disquieting Suspicion That You Might Be Spiders, are they empowered by the suspicion that their boss is spiders, or do they suspect that they too might be spiders?

the under-100 rec I made (Open Sorcery: Sea++, 52 Steam reviews) is on itch as well and has a grand total of 4 ratings there. it was my GOTY of 2021 but when I sort all the games I’ve played on backloggd by least popular it’s literally on the first page (right next to one of your games, actually)

awesome! I should mention: there is a first OS game, which Sea++ is a prequel to, I lead with Sea++ because it’s both the more ambitious one and the one that’s under 100 reviews, but OS1 is also very much worth playing and adds some context for what you’re setting into motion. plus it’s real short!

Also, idk if you’re taking recs for your Under 100 posts but Open Sorcery: Sea++ is one of my favorite games and has barely broken 50 reviews on Steam. It’s a wildly ambitious and open-ended Twine adventure game in a setting that fuses magic and computer science (with very punny results).
