If you like particularly the dark fantasy inflections in Caves of Qud, I recommend Zothique (by Clark Ashton Smith), where you get banger openers like this
Opening of The Empire of the Necromancers by Clark Ashton Smith "Mmatmuor and Sodosma were necromancers who came from the dark isle of Naat, to practise their baleful arts in Tinarath, beyond the shrunken seas. But they did not prosper in Tinarath: for death was deemed a holy thing by the people of that gray country; and the nothingness of the tomb was not lightly to be desecrated; and the raising up of the dead by necromancy was held in abomination. So, after a short interval, Mmatmuor and Sodosma were driven forth by the anger of the inhabitants, and were compelled to flee toward Cincor, a desert of the south, which was peopled only by the bones and mummies of a race that the pestilence had slain in former time."

Stories in Games Aren't Problems, They're Solutions
Lots of video games have terrible stories, but that's no reason to give up telling them.

honestly tifa as naive traditionalist who has somehow found herself in an ecoterrorist organization is way more compelling characterization than if she was a true believer

As I keep saying, fascism cannot function without the help of millions of centrists and liberals doing the work on the ground. Thanks to people akin to Newsom and Buttigieg, there's yet another trans person who can't play games with her friends and is now more marginalized than she already was.

SCOOP: The United States Tennis Association (USTA) quietly updated its player eligibility policy to ban trans women from competing as women in their leagues, tournaments and competitions in order to comply with Trump's anti-trans sports executive order. The policy went into effect on Monday.

fanart of Samus, from the Metroid games she's wearing her signature power suit/armor, only her helmet's off, she's holding it in her left hand she's standing in a dark wire-filled place, with only a vertical ray of green light falling on her fierce-looking face, like a door's opening on the outside, off screen

Also, as someone who worked on HORSES and has also made porn games + comics: I really don't appreciate when people put down one thing I made to uplift the other! Especially considering no one at Santa Ragione *ever* framed it in these terms when we were discussing the Steam ban

I am a little disappointed when the conversation is focused around "it's art not porn!" because the adult games devs get very little support but have been dealing with this for far longer, and they've been sounding the alarm for that deplatforming coming for other games (such as LGBTQ+ content).

One of my illustrations for Devil’s Due: A Space Pirate Haven for Mothership RPG.
Color illustration of some astronauts being devoured by an enormous biomechanical snake-like monster. They are on an industrial-looking corridor, and the eyes of the creature fill the scene in warm hues.

I've seen people say Judge Dredd comics are morally complex, but I think it's pretty nakedly saying that cops are the reason everything is bad.

Still ongoing, my novel Star Sword Nemesis is 10% off! It's a real science fiction-ass science fiction novel about the ideology of human transcendence, a wouldbe hero with a crush on her mecha-fighting teacher, and the distance between people. loveconquersallgames.itch.io/star-sword-n...

Automated text generation has existed for decades. "Dead internet" is from 2016. Markov chain text generation dates to at least 1984. The incentives to algorithmicly generate web text have been around since before 2010. Huge swaths of the internet have been case for seo/advertising slop for decades.

Look, if you're not an expert you wouldn't know, but this chart is bullshit. They could not possibly measure this as 1. How can you tell for sure? There's no reliable automated way. 2. You're not counting the many sites that are blocking crawlers now.

But there's an even more important reason...
