all the best windows software in history is called something like "joe's thing doer". it does the thing and nothing else and is available on a html website in plain text and takes up under a megabyte of space and uses default windows ui elements and will work until the heat death of the universe

Falling asleep with ear plugs did not lead to hearing less noise, it instead introduced me to the world of loud hypnagogic tones. The only way to describe it is sprites getting tangled up in huge bells.

Starting to get the sense that my brain was not built for relaxing experiences.

I’m at the “doing so many nonograms you dream in nonograms and also buy the cute detective nonograms game” stage of grief.

I got 3 pages of these gorgeous stamps, roughly a lifetime supply if I write 1 meaningful letter per year?

This was not only a beautiful and perfectly crafted game, it was profoundly helpful for my debilitating burnout. An unexpected side effect is it’s also been helping with grief just as much as Spiritfarer. It’s so damn good and moving I had to write this during the credit sequence.
The shop is open, the tea is ready. Are you? 🍵

This was the coolest and most engaging game I played this year so far! The decisions felt so real and important. The VO was beautiful and I loved the overall arc and the epilogue. Incredible experience, 100 stars.

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available?

It's literally called Library Extension.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

Yellow paint is lazy. Ideal
level design is to have a barbershop quartet at every exit singing about which way the player should go. But people don’t take the effort to compose original songs like “Lovely Night To Climb A Ladder”

Stayed up until 3 AM finishing Until Then and it’s an absolute masterpiece. Check it out on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1574820/Until_Then/

And extreme shoutout to @untilthengame.com for creating something so incredible 😭

you already know what's up

(game sale rec thread is what's up)

as always for my rec threads, i focus primarily on obscure, older, and just plain weirder games, as big name titles don't need the help.

so, onwards!
