A very special line to me, and one that has proven repeatedly apposite* in learning about people's reactions to this game! Glad you enjoyed it 💜

Keyboards have too many keys; they stare like spider-eyes, & it's just WIERD, man! Now CONSOLES? Consoles I can get behind! Analogue sticks baby!

✨🌈🚨⚙️ GDC ALERT ⚙️🚨🌈✨

I will probably barely be at GDC. but uhhh I do live here? 🌉

so if anyone in town for the week wants to catch up, hmu x

Fight well. I'll see that your remains are sent home to your families.

Moonlight's beauty weakens the androids. It's why they seek out sunlight

The peace you take for granted was the result of war. You dishonor the dead and the unborn when you refuse to fight.

Will all nations fall to tyranny of angels?

Been rewatching Golden Girls. Grew up with the dub, it's crazy how different the sub is.

I’m so glad! It’s lovely to hear that it moved people. What kind of series? I’m open to it, I’d just wanna know more details

only a real man has the balls to become a woman

(ngl I love this alternate universe where every GDC talk has accompaniment from a house band and there’s a razzle dazzle host bridging the gaps between them

maybe everyone is sitting at those lil tables and eating food, like at an old timey cabaret)

dreamed that I was the MC and leader of the house band for the GDC indie games track. we absolutely smashed it and everyone was really impressed

afterwards Elton John congratulated me on a great show

“Elton John!” I exclaimed. “Why are you at GDC?”

“What, I’m not allowed to be here?” he said

(I would not have made this reply if the guy in fact was dead)

Let's Read The Romance of the Scarab, Part IV (Let's Read the Books of Dread Delusion, Book 9) YouTube video by The RPG Chick

it's not "large volumes", but I /did/ write a 112-line erotic poem for @lovelyhellplace.bsky.social's Dread Delusion, which I remain very proud of 😎 www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTMR...

(also, was glad to read that the third man, like Tiny Tim, did NOT die!)

Terry Pratchett would write a novel about this man.

made a girl teleport this weekend, using magic. that was pretty cool

4 types of characters I write:

1. The anarchist cop who steals confiscated drugs and money to sabotage capitalism, one petty malignant act at a time
2. The woman scientist whose patience is tested by literally everyone around her
3. The billionaire media mogul crushed by a Daewoo
4. The best boy

4 types of characters I write

1. The most craziest suicidal madman ever, masking
2. Spiteful woman burning with hate that is actually love
3. Passive she/he/they who would die for them. Who would *live* for them
4. Witty clumsy magical jester who puts you in danger, but also save the day

tv with reporter and line go down above tv with kid play with ball from untitled goose game

the two bluesky feeds

4 types of characters I write

1. the saddest, wettest, most beautiful boy
2. traumatised lesbian intellectual doing her best
3. wotcher, cunt, i’m a swaggering bastard
4. powerful villain who kinda knows they’re evil but decorum requires at least a fig leaf of moral excuse

Referring to American medical insurance as a "Hospital Battle Pass"

yeah honestly this feels like the horribly supercharged next level of the whole “facebook hijacks to ur brain by exploiting salience signals / natural arousal triggers” thing

HA good good good! Aye that was meant to serve as an opportunity for mutual clocking for trans players, where Aphra chooses to give you the wink so you know you’re in certain company. Or, for cis players, an example of her desire to build bridges between different people’s experiences!

Still, I think we can keep going if we have… what is it Genevieve says? “A bridge”?

That’s what Missing Persons was meant to be, for all of us.

Oh!!!! I am so glad. Thank you for playing, and for engaging so deeply.

I’m particularly glad the ending wasn’t quite (it sounds like) what you feared. It wasn’t meant to be pure grimness, pure sorrow.

We’re already missing so many people. We’ll lose more yet. There’s no way to make that easy…

A column of fire envelops an RV in a pine forest late at night.

My bedroom and office reduced to ashes. The metal walls and roof are largely destroyed, revealing the forest beyond.

A class C RV gutted by fire. The heat of the fire has killed most of the plant life in a nearby garden.

An E-bike battery burned my house down on the first day of GDC. Seeking mutual aid from financially stable colleagues.

I'm glad! I wanted to make it and am sorry I couldn't; my health is trash atm. Hopefully see you soon x

GDC FOLKS: I probably won't be at the conference much because my mental health is all fucked up!

but if you fancy a drink or a meal or just hanging out, message me — I'm around

Aww thank you, I’m so glad. Great display name too - love that game

Dread Delusion is up for GOTY!

“It is the definition of the saying "more than the sum of its parts" – every aspect of it is executed in service of another. This creates one of the most cohesive and fun RPGs I’ve played in a long time”

How is the shitlord who used to pay me $50 to write about Binary Domain for his game blog now advising a fascist unelected billionaire leader via Twitter wtf

Transcript reads: FIRST OFFICER: Wonder about the outboard ailerons. If we put some flaps out, you think that would give us outboard? FLIGHT ENGINEER: God, I hate to do anything. CAPTAIN: Well, we’re going to have to do something.
