hey guys - i'm in a pretty dire housing situation right now. i have to move at the end of the month (lease expires) but prior plans w/ people completely fell apart & i'm back to square one. i'm looking for a room in Brooklyn, trans friendly, 1100 a month max, not a temporary sublet. plz let me know.
i wrote an article interviewing 16 developers + me working in the toxic yuri visual novel space.
it took over a month and it cost me a laptop. my favorite piece of writing thus far. enjoy: bsky.app/profile/moth...
That's so cool! Congratulations!
Wow this is so cool! I remember really liking this when I read it *checks notes* 5 years ago... Time really flies by...
the day is today, the time is now
my album Saint Elizabeth is out now

HI EVERYONE I'm writing a new mystery narrative game called #TheCraneRidersTale and it's launching on Kickstarter on April 28th!!!
Please follow the prelaunch page to get notified as soon as it's live! www.kickstarter.com/projects/psy...
A new Abnormal Mapping! We played Rabbids Go Home, an inventive driving game/platformer starring the now defunct Ubisoft mascots of the late 00s. The Wii had good non-Nintendo games, it’s sometimes easy for me to forget! www.abnormalmapping.com/the-abnormal...
New Stop Caring essay is live.
@dietdeitz.bsky.social joins the site to write about Consume Me, Wii Fit, fast food, diet culture, and eating disorders.
A really poignant personal essay that weaves in a potent critical analysis of Consume Me.

In which I give the history of the founding of Enix, the (in)famous contest which they used to solicit their first round of games, and the utterly bizarre Seiko's Adventure, which comes close to being the most surreal game I've ever played for the blog.

Hi everyone. Things have been happening in the fan-translation scene and I've been overdue in talking about them. For the first time ever I've made a long writeup. Please read it and feel free to reach out to me with comments.
We are scheming schemes and making plans at TIER. We hope you will join us...
Last thread on the matter because it's been a long week, but if there's one piece of advice I can offer to fan translators who truly want to do a good job, it's this: be prepared to take ownership for your work. That's the number one thing I find lacking in many, man fan translations in general.
I say this as a professional who came up from fan translation and has friends at Sega who will likely never get to work on this officially: when you fan translate ANYTHING that was previously untranslated, you have a deep, heavy responsibility in setting people's first and typically only impression.
I forgot to plug this on main lol but Handheld Talk is back and Amr being mostly offline means I got to inform them about the limitations of the Virtual Boy Switch Online app towards the end of the pod which ruled :)

Will keep thinking about both these games for a long time...which has a lot more value than something slicker and less potent.
this is what 3+ years of never being satisfied with anything does. these are the same fucking model

Getting to write a WHOLE ASS ANIME AF SCENARIO for this, as my first Real Game Narrative job was a truly wild experience.
Go smash that button (and maybe you'll get to do a mf'ing mech heist soon).
Unwinnable subscribers saw an excerpt of this last month, but here's the much, much longer convo I had with Autumn back in December about cultural criticism, my process, and a long, ongoing battle with alienation from my own taste and craft. A little rambly, apologies

i wrote about recent events in the interactive fiction community and how it emboldened me to fight against vibe coders and LLM slop.
Thinking about this model based on a dream, still really proud of it

A girl walking in front of a brick wall, with trees just above it. It seems to be at sunset. There's a meter in the top left, and dialogue choices in the bottom.
A brick wall with a utility pole in front. There's trees in the background, seems to be at sunset.
Learning Blender again, this time I tried recreating this scene from True Love Story (PS1). It's very "Nintendo hire this man" lol I need to learn more about texturing/shaders (Left: Original, source: PSX Data Center, Right: 3D Scene) Below is the animation render test.
This is my attempt at doing the animation of the above scene from True Love Story (PS1).
