just kidding I realized I needed more gay pining first 🙂‍↕️

review the games you play if you want more indie games. even a single review can help an indie studio. and if you go through someone's catalogue and review several....? it helps so much more than you can imagine for small games.

Wrote the easy scene (1000 words of sad men pining for each other), now I gotta write the hard scene (a battle). 😩

Ah yeah, intermissions, super rare in NA. For me it's more about what the other people in the theatre are doing, which can be mitigated by theatre etiquette but A. can't count on that, and B. that's not the whole thing, just people eating or whatever distracts me sometimes. Love an empty cinema!!

Haha you replied to me last time I gushed about this movie too! Okay that's enough, time to follow you back now 😌

I'm personally ambivalent to the theatre experience (I actually find it harder to pay attention. ADHD things? idk) but I'll be very pleased if that gets more people to watch it!

A ★★★★★ review of Whisper of the Heart (1995) Rewatched this as I embark on a new(-ish) writing project, to remind myself of what I want out of writing, what I aim to do, and what needs doing in order to create something special. This is my favou...

#12: Whisper of the Heart (1995). Decided to rewatch my favourite film about writing, and my favourite Ghibli film, as I set out on a new(-ish) writing project. Cried a bunch and now I'm all fired up to polish some gems!! 😤

World-building for fiction is hilarious. Yeah, my world doesn't tell time like the real world, instead of 'minutes' it has 'moments.' Oh, how long is a moment? Uhh, about two minutes.

A screenshot of two headlines on reddit. The top one, from CBS, reads, "Yosemite worker fired for hanging trans pride flag on El Capitan sues National Park Service." The second, from Fortune, reads, "IRS chief reveals nobody was fired for illegally sharing data with ICE approximately 42,695 times."

These two headlines next to each other... 😬

A ★★★½ review of Clue (1985) This review may contain spoilers. Visit the page to bypass this warning and read the review.

#11: Clue (1985). Delightful high-energy comedy marred somewhat by its experimental ending gimmick and some of-the-time jokes.

Also perhaps of interest to @depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social)

A screenshot of a Wikipedia article, showing the section headline 'Sports and hobbies,' under which is an image captioned, 'Scarlet macaw riding a tricycle at a show in Spain'

This section isn't about the sports and hobbies OF birds, but this image sure makes it seem like it will be.

Legend of Mana, Final Fantasy X, Coming Out on Top, Even the Ocean, Etrian Odyssey IV, Virtue's Last Reward, Atelier Sophie, Hotel Dusk: Room 215, Breath of Fire IV

Here's mine, although 9 is far too few so I just went with the stuff at top of mind right now. Had no room for any Xeno, any SMT, any Kingdom Hearts... 😭

A ★★★★★ review of Punishment Park (1971) During the tribunal, both the establishment figures and the young leftists, pacifists, and draft dodgers are able to have their say (to varying degrees), but these arguments are intercut with the scen...

#10: Punishment Park (1971). Arrested for their political beliefs, young people make the one decision that gives them any semblance of agency and struggle against a system designed to fail them. Grim.

A screencap from Hades II. Melinoe pets Cerberus in a room in the underworld. She says, "Just this one head, I know..."

A screenshot from Hades II, taken from the victory screen at the end of a run. It shows a run completed with 16 fear with the Aspect of Hel.

#2: Hades II. Hard to rank in relation to the first game. It's Hades but more, bigger, messier. Yeah, it fumbles its larger narrative, but I thought the first game's ending sucked, too. It's still great to play, though. I'm tapping out while I still like it.

Quite literally, until you have 10 reviews Steam doesn't surface you at all.

Those first 10 reviews change everything. If you see a game with less than 10 reviews, you are being shown a life you can dramatically improve.

Woah Eliot! Congrats!!! 🎉

A ★★★ review of Jawbreaker (1999) I wouldn't call it a rip-off, but it's fair to say that this is a lesser sibling of similar movies like Heathers. It's just not as sharp, the cast not given as much to work with and sadly not making w...

2026 movie thread!

#9: Jawbreaker (1999). There's a weird and cool undercurrent to this that comes out in flashes between what is mostly a serviceable Heathers-like.

Carney fans: here is perhaps the most unambiguous test yet of your principles. Do you support the US starting an illegal war with Iran? Because your guy Carney does.

#8: Go, Go Second Time Virgin (1969). Super low-budget pseudo-erotic black-and-white nihilism. Very fucking dark, about young people so broken and traumatized that they cannot fathom leaving, despite holding the key.

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

I'll be doing a panel presentation going into why I made @desertofash.bsky.social and why YOU should live vicariously through playing (and making!) adult games! But you only have a couple more days to get (FREE) tickets!

A cropped screenshot of a Steam page, showing the banner image and description for DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator. The image shows the game's logo next to an illustration of a shirtless, bearded man, against a red and black background. The description reads, "The world has burnt to ash. Wander the wasteland, scavenge and trade for vital supplies, hook up with over a dozen hot guys, develop relationships—however fleeting—and decide how you want to live in this new world."

There's still time to get DESERT OF ASH: a Post-Apocalyptic Gay Sex Simulator 10% off, as the launch sale goes to this Friday!

And if you've already played it, reviews are massively helpful in convincing Steam to show the game to more people. 🙏
