Pro tip: check your teeth after eating a rice bowl covered in furikake if you’re gonna sit in front of a camera for a hot minute

Yeah I found it too distressing — maybe I should give it another try but I couldn’t get more than a couple episodes in without feeling my anxiety skyrocket from all the picking at healing wounds.

Canon. I originally tagged it on itch as survival horror but eventually ended up replacing that tag with dating sim just to fuck with people.

Shit, I’m so sorry. I really hope you can get the care and relief you need.

Thank you! These are great suggestions.
Also, Harrow only has a few novels and has said she plans to stick to novellas in the future, but all her novels are bangers — highly recommend. Starling House was incredible.

Oh yay! I’m so excited to see it — hopefully I’ll get a chance to see you there too!
Do you recommend planning to go all 3 days, or is it the sort of thing you can get through in a day?

She seemed genuinely so surprised and happy that I commented on the feature (and I was so surprised and happy that she featured my little game!) — she seems to really appreciate connecting with devs and lifting up indies.

I just discovered Ronnie / cozywithronnie on IG because she featured With You, and she’s the sweetest. She just posted a story today asking indies to let her know about their cozy games featured in Next Fest!

That said, this is the one I got (before I fully left amazon): a.co/d/21sBbj8
I like the autofocus and auto keystone, but wish it had horizontal keystone as well as vertical. I am also not a fan of the software at all — I have to manually switch it to HDMI every time I start it up, and it feels bad

I got a crappy $80 offbrand one and regret not doing more research first. I really just wanted something that tilted with keystone correction + bluetooth/wifi (was less concerned about resolution or brightness), so mine is… ok but not great.
I found out since that Reddit has some forums with recs!
