I love having all of my theories about a show be right in the finale and still spend 95% of the showtime in absolute tears when The Thing I Guessed Would Happen happens onscreen.

Tomodachi Life is awesome. I had Doomguy crushing on V1 for days to the point of moving in with them. When he finally popped the question of going out, both Gabriel and V2 showed up and also asked them out. V1 chose V2 and caused Doomguy to spiral into a deep depression. You can't get this elsewhere

It's kind of crazy to me that, even after all these years, I haven't played any commercially released spiritual successors to any of my favorite Sonic games that really capture what I get out of the franchise. Especially given how many fan game there's been over the years!

I think the issue is it takes way more time and effort to make games like Sonic 1/2/3K/CD compared to other platformers you could make a spiritual successor to. A lot of detailed pixel art, complicated physics programming, intricate level design... there's a reason most fan games are just demos.

I've wanted to do my own Sonic inspired game for years and lately have been getting more and more ideas for it, but even that is going to diverge pretty heavily from what I'd want from an actual spiritual successor. Maybe someday someone will make what I want. Maybe it'll be me. Who knows.

And like... that's kind of it for the most part? And neither of the art styles had that abstract, surreal feeling that I crave. I remember one that was in development called Kyle & Lucy that actually looked pretty cool, but I haven't heard from it in years.

I should mention I specifically am talking classic Sonic. I've played some of the first Freedom Planet, which was cute but going for something a bit different. I played through the first Spark the Electric Jesters first campaign and it didn't really do it for me either.

thinking about how funny the next major update for ultrakill is gonna be because they're gonna be dropping the end of the game and probably P-3, but instead my ass is gonna have to go to 8-S first and play like plants vs zombies or some shit

I heard about basically every single change estrogen does to you in your transition both online and from friends before I started transitioning and was aware of almost all of them. How come no one bothered to mention "your sense of smell dramatically increases to your benefit and detriment"?

On the one hand, wow I can smell things like many flowers and candles now that I previously straight up couldn't! But also bad things smell REAL bad.

Hey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

if you asked me to diagnose the western game industry's current problem it would start with "landlords have absorbed basically all disposable income"

that's me on the right!!! this is a decision that's been 6 years in the making and we've finally decided to take our chance. contributing to this will make it easier to take the first step into the rest of our lives <3

Update: I'm officially out as trans publicly to basically everyone in my immediate life now. Two years ago when I first was approaching the realization I was trans I never would've thought I'd get this far, let alone this fast. I'm very lucky to know the people I know and live where I live. 💚

Started the process of fully socially transitioning lately. I live in probably the most progressive areas in this country, and despite having had no truly negative reactions to the people I've come out to I'm still nervous about it every single time. Exhausting coming out again and again though.

Finished Anthology of the Killer a few days ago and it's burned itself into my brain. Feels like how I think about designing games fundamentally has changed. I've got to make weirder games.

the world was too good for ristar the shooting star. he made one game and went back to his galaxy. which is also his mom. in the japanese version

I've been putting it off for years now but I'm probably going to actually switch to Linux. Had some foreboding Windows 11 issues yesterday that really made the headlines I've seen about its decay real to me.

First map of my current #YumeNikki inspired #Doom project: Sueños. I saw this map in my head many many nights ago, struggling to sleep, and now it's real!
