My anime-inspired yuri (lesbian) novel is now free on AO3!
As a child, chess prodigy Reina made a promise with her first friend Miyuki: to one day play again. A decade later, the two are reunited as members of the board games club - but Miyuki has forgotten her.

Fuck JK Rowling. Fuck Harry Potter (piece of shit franchise). And honestly, fuck you if you support either of them.
This is what "but muh childhood" has directly led to: an organization dedicated to REMOVING RIGHTS FROM PEOPLE.
You can not be a HP fan and not be transphobic anymore. It's a choice

Seeing liberals wishing for cancer to kill Biden has got to be one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen in my life.

He was locked into a Republican-controlled pro-Israel Congress AND a pre-existing defense contract with Israel. What was he supposed to do?

The girl on the left is 16 btw. Same deal as when people complained Bella Ramsey playing 14 year old Ellie wasn't hot enough.
Ultimately all roads of anti-wokeness inevitably lead to pedophilia. The Venn diagram of racists, homophobes, and pedos in nerd circles is a circle. Prove me wrong.

By the way, not only is the game now COMPLETELY broken on Deck, but also, trying to play it on PC reveals the save data wasn't properly synced to the cloud, so I'd have to start from scratch. Bye-bye, 10 hours.
Eugh.
Eugh.
Man I fucking love it when a game I already put 10 hours into on Steam Deck just suddenly refuses to launch with no explanation or fix. It's very funny and cool. I wish every game just randomly broke for no reason.

By the way, if $80/90 euro games become the norm, I'm NEVER buying another game again. I already had to become much more picky when they jumped to $70/80 euro. No game is worth 90 euro.
"But what about BotW or Elden Ri--" DID I STUTTER?
My backlog is huge, and indies keep rocking. I'll be fine.

Microsoft... Let's be real here. You're dead last in console sales, by A LOT. You sold half what the PS5 did and a third of what the Switch did, and I'm probably being generous.
What do you think will happen when you not only port all games to competitor platforms, but raise the price of your own?

I was playing #SouthOfMidnight on Game Pass, and I was thinking how funny it was that a few years ago everyone was convinced GP meant Microsoft would only develop live service games with MTX, only for them to release almost nothing but story-driven single player titles for like 5 years straight

So, last year I started writing my next yuri romance, about a girl with cancer. Hilariously, I then got cancer myself.
Am cancer-free now, but that story doesn't quite speak to me at the moment - odd, you'd think it'd speak to me more!
Gotta start something new, but it's so hard and I'm so lazy 😩

Day 1 on Game Pass and still sold 1 million in 3 days. That's just how good it is.
There are definitely a few small things about the game that annoy me, but generally, I think a lot of AAA RPG devs need to look at this game and its development and take notes.

People be like "this game is a masterpiece of storytelling, never before or since have I seen such a spectacular storyline in any medium," and then the game they're referring to is about 2 little kids staging a murder so well it fooled every adult, including the professionals at the crime scene

Randomly remembered that time when Tom Fulp from @thebehemoth.com created an entire ass game adaptation of The Room just because he could, and never once stopping to consider whether he should.

Such a Reddit take lmfao.
PC is an open platform (and the Steam Deck is a PC). That means games are crazy cheap there. It's fine if they're digital. You get what you pay for.
On the other hand, if you pay $80 for a physical game that's actually digital, then that's a shit deal. Seems very simple.

Don't mind me, just making my daily post to remind you all to PLAY CLAIR OBSCUR IMMEDIATELY!
Buy it, or play it on Game Pass, or borrow it from a friend, I don't care. Play it. It's arguably the first solid GOTY nominee we had this year, and it's like $40.

#ClairObscur is so good y'all. One of the best turn-based RPGs in recent memory, and the only where I want to fight everything not because of the XP but because combat is just THAT fun. And it was made by a team of like 30 people on a mid-sized budget!

Uh-huh. And what happens when the Switch servers inevitably shut down, just like the servers of any other digital console prior to it? What would these "game key cards" which don't contain a kilobyte of the actual game be worth then?

Holy shit, #ClairObscur is sitting at a whopping 97% recommended. This is on the level of BG3, Metaphor, Persona 5, Bloodborne, Disco Elysium, and other RPGs that many would consider among the best of all time. Reviewers are calling it a GOTY contender.
