its computationally interesting... the miraheze walkthrough has textual representations of the levels... half of the levels dont have buttons and so (hubris incoming) theyre probably easier to solve than traditional sokoban... one day i'd like to try it

being in a decent amount of pain that is exacerbated by using the computer is the main thing currently stopping me from trying to write a program that can solve any void stranger level automatically. so basically its a good thing that this is happening to me, actually

If you liked Lucah: Born of a Dream I would highly recommend checking out Death of a Wish. It is rad and slept on.

i for one am shocked that the "i go in the pool to cool down, why can't my phone?" guy is bad at programming and offloading his job to the anthropic api

a new video came out today featuring my favourite character from pokemon (its an npc in a glitch city who spots you from impossible angles and says gibberish that crashes your game but who only shows up if youre playing on an inaccurate version of VBA) www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eRS...

a few years ago the reason i liked witches and felt connected to them was (i say this affectionately) some umineko-related mumbo jumbo. now i feel an affinity for witches for a different reason instead; they wear big hats and i also like wearing big hats

w.r.t. that thing thats shutting down within the next month or so: ok damn maybe i should pick gba games instead or something

obviously I need to relearn how to do a bunch of shit before I can do that. Like putting effort into doing other interesting things, or undoing social skill atrophy. But I think the PS1 games will help

feeling very grateful for the cool as fuck trans women who inspired me in whatever way shape or form. maybe if i play and talk about enough weird ps1 games i can pay this forward

you have to be loudly pro-pornography and you have to never shut up about it. you have to become the "they want to take away your freedom of expression vis-Γ -vis cocks and boobs" person to everyone you know. i'm sorry to say it but it's just how it is right now

green creature with a sad frown and huge eyes

started playing gimmick for the NES. its kinda evil (positive), like, it has a secret area accessible in the first room that requires you to do the games equivalent of launching a koopa shell into the wall and then jumping off of it.

life is all about playing ps1 games with friends and swapping between spectating them while saying "i could do better than that" and then actually playing it and not, in fact, doing better than that

1) KH2FM - SORA BODYGUARDS [REWATCH]

its insane that this kh2fm hacking video, from 2008, turned 18 years old this year. it feels like it has loomed eternal over my understanding of games/art, as living, breathing things, because of how we can mod them like this

they should make a shin megami tensei game called SMT Diode just to confuse people trying to google either meaning of that term

here's a fun fact the all-powerful baboon lobby would prefer you not find out about. if you have electrical generation up to even a modest level, any contiguous formation of the little stones they throw at you can be used to arc electric death at these hateful apes

Logo for the 4th issue of the Adult Analysis Anthology, a collection of long-form writing that covers adult games and adult game culture. The words ADULT, ANALYSIS, and ANTHOLOGY are stacked in a roughly-triangular shape, with the first "A" of each word in a bright red. The words are surrounded by an ink-splattered circle reminiscent of a coffee cup stain. In the bottom-right corner is a large red numeral "4".
