had the cutest game of chess with a stranger tonight, we had the cutest chemistry and I’m still glowing about it

I follow you for you, and for who you are, and I wouldn’t want you to hold back on any part of yourself

I’m really going to have to check out all of these, thanks so much for the recommendation!

I really feel the same way about a lot of shows coming out at the moment

not at all, you’ve clearly given this a lot more thought than I ever have and I really adore your thinking!

Joe Pera in particular really captures this, I don’t think I’ve seen something quite so subversive and contemplative, while still remaining such a soft small thing

what cosy texts such as mushishi and the original animal crossing capture so beautifully too is the soft melancholy and loneliness at the heart of existence

and giving you both the space to discover those feelings, and safely sit with them

ideas for more sprites: warriors which specifically reference two historical illustrations, a gravedigger with a shovel, mandragoras, a version of the devil with the face in its stomach which i'm finally happy with, a bird person, a person with a birdcage, several large demons.

handsome 😊

I’m Demi!

I'm a queer nonbinary game designer, and the lead of a small games company that designs online surveys for children with a focus on accessibility and play‑based interaction!

I'm into cooking, chess & spoken-word poetry 💕✨

thank you for all holding back the industry wouldn't have survived your brilliance 🥲

I will burn curses, below the shadow of a blood moon, dance garden, and breathing, and tangle up a heart that has been tame so long

in the evenings I will wander, I will get a mochaccino and chase the fading sun through the back alleys to my barber, I will admire their calloused hands, I will have noodles with a friend, and make memories so tender they’ll remain with me so long after they’re gone

I’ve been keeping it a secret from you, I’m so sorry

the american ego is killing the world and it’s not one I’m keen to echo

I am sadly the target audience for this exact style of essay writing

softly snuggled up in bed while my friend is making us all breakfast a couple rooms over, and I think this is what bliss sounds like

woke to a beloved friend sending me their game they made, and now my entire weekend is set 🥰

each of these games endlessly inspire and take my breath away, no matter how many times I play them

they’re only trying to stop you because you’re telling the TRUTH

some folk are living lives I can only dream of

this is so inspiring 🥰

even as the internet falls to capitalism, it’s so lovely to remember it’s never been easier or more affordable to make our own spaces; and there are still endless pockets of community, gardens, and handcrafted websites to be found

aww eves, I’m so sorry to hear so 🥺

the trees have been doing this long before GDC, and they’ll do it long after GDC is gone too

it’s one of my favourite nights of the week

on wednesday nights I catch the eastern line through the ocean mangroves, snuggle up in a sake bar for plum wine and karaage chicken, and then spend the rest of my evening losing hopelessly at chess at the local chess night

I’ve seen their grocery bills and they’re not hitting the leaderboard with those numbers
