The drunk uncle theory.

You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

Same!

It rules.

I remember someone laughing at how invested me and a group of friends were in gcrowds... I feel vindicated every day lol

Did you know you can read all the Shinichi Hoshi Prize winning stories for free?? So much flash fiction for your reading enjoyment!

i've been seeing a bunch of people make threads of 50 indie games; while i understand the reasoning, i'd rather make a smaller thread (25 games) and actually say something about each one.

no two games by the same dev. will also link the devs if they're on this site!

in no particular order:

An image of a red wax seal above a poem titled "Extract from the Epic of Mickbell." The extract reads: "Dark and gnarled he was, and strong A beast in man's shape, twisted, wrong And yet the sage's fated song Bode he and Nick would get along— a trickster prince and soil-bound fiend." Small laurel details finish the piece. A band at the bottom announces Once Upon a Dungeon in gold text with the dark brown subtitles "A Dungeon Meshi Fairytale & Folklore Anthology". Gold text runs up the red border saying "Preorders Open Between a July 1 - Aug 15."

Surprise! I have a SECOND piece in the dungeon meshi fairytale zine— this long-lost poem. I bet there are more parts out there, lost to history... About one stinky little guy... And Kuro, too.

A preview image for the story "Enough for Two Pairs" with a silhouettes image of Tansu Floke. The excerpt reads: A long, long time ago, a gnome shoemaker settled down to live with his sweetheart in a cozy mountain town. In such times, dungeons would wake up on occasion and disturb the surrounding settlements—the shoemaker, Tansu, and his wife, Yarn, knew this but refused to consider them a true risk. A leaf ends the excerpt. A white bar at the bottom announces Once Upon a Dungeon in gold text. Beneath it is "A Dungeon Meshi Fairytale & Folklore Anthology". One the left it says in gold text "Preorders Open Between July 1 - Aug 15"

Did you know I have a little Dungeon Meshi story coming out in a zine and preorders are open now? It's an absolute feast for the eyes and I know you will love all the art and stories tucked inside!

Gonna go stop by Orc city for some things. I swear to god, I hope it’s not smoldered and burned down from the Orc Wars by the time I get there

This is so reassuring! I'm translating some public domain Edogawa Ranpo for fun and it's been a little alarming at how hard it is to extract the meaning on a first go. But then I come back and it's like the concepts settle into place.

If your reaction to hearing about a bunch of children dying in a flood in Texas is to make a snappy comment about how red states deserve it then you should fuck off and lock yourself in a closet until you can develop the actual fucking empathy and political understanding of an adult
