yo grats on poppin install, enjoy the new moveset
![From https://glossary.infil.net/, the Fighting Game Glossary:
Install [General Term]
A powered-up state some characters can enter that will change move properties and maybe grant new moves entirely. Installs are almost always on a timer that tells you how much longer you get to enjoy the benefits before you return to your mortal self. Custom combo supers like Genei Jin or A-Groove and systems like Street Fighter V's V-Trigger and Killer Instinct's Instinct mode are common installs you will find.
You'll hear the word "activate" or "pop" often used when people turn on these modes, as in "Yun players like to do shoulder into activate" or "don't forget to pop Instinct once per round". The source of the term probably comes from Sol Badguy's "Dragon Install" super move.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tgfw34us2ioxbfva3u3nt5fp/bafkreibhefshwafn7npzt6plq7zkh3lqnsf32a6kf3smyx3myruir62xdm@jpeg)

My meditation game, Roosting With Your Hot Chicken Boyfriend, was shadowbanned off Itch. However, it wasn't tagged as an Adult or NSFW game. I wonder which of these tags got it hidden?

Great deep cut. When I was writing enemies for NetBattlers (a Mega Man Battle Network fangame TTRPG), I couldn't help but blend some LRR Rock Monster into MMBN's golem Virus.

I'm really happy with the final layout for Night Drifters: Second Stage. It's the most per-page time I've spent, and I'm proud of how it turned out. I owe a lot to @byfrancita.bsky.social's advice!

I spent a lot of last month grinding on NetFishing, making it the best it can be despite its joke premise. (I'm a sucker for a high-commitment bit.) By the end, I started getting burnout headaches, but I've been taking it easy the past couple days. Anyway, I wore fishnets to celebrate the release.

Today, NetBattlers (my Mega Man Battle Network TTRPG fangame) becomes a real game. Has NetBattling taken it out of you? Need a calm day to harass the local wildlife? Grab a pack of cold ones & zeroes and try NetFishing!

my february scrobbles. in 2024, I went through Weezer's entire discography with a friend. this completely cursed the year. in 2025, we're doing Britney, and it's like a purifying spell. special shoutout to the Britney's Dance Beat GBA OST, which has some real MIDI magic. it's so charming.

this absolutely goes hard & *looks* fantastic doing so. Nathan's lucky they're a sweetheart because otherwise I'd be SO envious of how many things they're good at. (seriously, peep this!)

5: Apollo 47 Technical Handbook by @timhutchings.bsky.social is such a statement of a physical object & game, I love it. It's 1% game rules, 99% real technical manuals for inspiration & flavor. It's the biggest & heaviest game book I own, and that heft really suits the tense gravity of the game.

4: Visigoths vs Mall Goths by @meowzers.bsky.social is just real fun to read. I'm not typically one for premade settings, but this mall is just candy. Yes, I want to read about Gerbil Essences & Athawulf's Secret! Reading a book & engaging your imagination is a form of play, and this is great fuel.
