I wonder if the fact that I don't allow my protagonists to succeed is indicative of anything.

This is really really worth reading and if you can afford $25 year please become a member. I'm going to.

Finished @jumpovertheage.com 's Citizen Sleeper 1. An unfathomably beautiful game about building a life amidst the wreckage of failure. Resonated strongly with me, and I'm gonna play the sequel ASAP.

Replaying Citizen Sleeper 1 because I never finished the additional chapters, and it's incredible how easily that game can pull me in. My first playthrough took the entirety of a single day, and I had to force myself to stop playing for this one. Incredible game.

Right, about time we reveal this. After a week of manic writing and designing, we're proud to present ORIENTATION: A PSYCHO PATROL ZINELET, an zine made in collaboration with @villecallio.csoftproducts.life to introduce the world of Psycho Patrol R! Peep it: datasparrow.itch.io/orientation-...

i’ve got 8 keys for Metal Garden to give away repost this, give @alexandraht.bsky.social a follow, and i’ll do a draw at midnight EST tonight to determine the winners!

God I love Kojima so much

Duck Detective: The Secret Salami was an excellent play after a stressful morning of reading news. Took about two hours for me to clear, and it perfectly balanced a mixture of approachability with some some excellent sauce. Quite comfy. Looking forward to the sequel.

Kamen Rider W (Stream Sketch Request) www.twitch.tv/genczilla

I wonder what it is about Kamen Rider that invites the set designers to create houses for the protags to live in that are just the most audacious living spaces in the universe. I love it, but it's like a universal thing.

Personal message to my dear friends who I love very much

I sure picked a great time to get over my borderline debilitating fear of flying.

@alfabusa.bsky.social's Hunter the Parenting series is one of the best independent animation productions I've seen, period. From a production and narrative standpoint, it's such an excellent series and makes me believe that we can make better things.

Man, I love Kamen Rider, but some days I miss a good ol' rider-kick. The new finishers are awesome, but I feel like we're gonna get to a series where the Rider has to set up a Rube-Goldberg machine to kill a jobber.

I need every cis person that follows me to read this and genuinely think about it for a while, and I need them to understand that this is the explicit goal of this administration. If you’re trans, you know the stories like it already; spare yourself.

One thing that I genuinely find a bit repugnant are videos and comments on excellent VA work phrased like "man they gave the actors a RAISE!" Like, dude, actors perform their best regardless of pay. That's why they're exploited by the unscrupulous parts of the industry. You don't know.

Devil May Cry is a Wuxia series

Thunderbolt Fantasy Season 3 has a moment when the protagonist reaches into a bag and retrieves a Nendoroid of his boyfriend and this is a real plot-point that is important for the story.

I'm going to post more little articles like these, because I'm emotionally invested in media and you can't stop me. I'll get back on the short-story train. medium.com/@benjamin.ho...

I did not know enough of David Lynch's art before he passed. And that'll change with time. But just from seeing how many of you are having a visceral, emotional reaction to his passing makes me, in some small way, happy. He made a strong impact on your lives. That's good.

Hey fellow writers, ever figure out a solution to a plot that wasn't working, only to realize that it's turned into the premise of a story you haven't seen / read, so now you have to watch sixty episodes of an anime to take notes on something you weren't inspired by?

Ludum Dare really is one of the more common pathways early indie game devs follow in this industry - a free, forgiving, community-focused event that also spotlights incredible work. If you can, support Mike to help ensure LD can run in 2025 too. We shouldn't lose this. www.patreon.com/mikekasprzak

Writing my fun adventure fantasy novel was great until I realized that my plot requires me to hire the services of an economist because I want something to make sense.

Toronto: I was writing in a shop outside of St Lawrence Market. It was storming, and a car backed into a food-truck. The very second the food-truck guy got out of the cab, the rain stopped. He swore for five minutes in a language I did not know, and returned to his cab. The rain started again.

Got an interview tomorrow. First interview for a production coordinator position in a while. Any ounce of luck you can spare, I'd appreciate.

Life is worth living, and love always wins. Keep pushing forward despite adversity. Thank You.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last show you watched are trying to rescue you. Oh I am gonna be waltzing out of that situation.
