im personally not a mechsplo gal [*] but i think people are dismissive of it as a subculture & microgenre in ways that feel a bit unfair to it and the women who work within the scene imo. i think art subcultures to explore sexuality are neat + evolve esp. in dialogue w/ how ppl engage w robot genres

Hearing about 40 year old straight men pivoting to poly as a means of ethical cheating is very funny to me. I'm poly because I fell in love with three women around the same time and we all agreed it was cool. we are not da same!!!!

Top five red flags in video game soundtracks: 1. Electric guitar in otherwise analogue soundscape 2. Minor key reprise of protagonist's motif 3. Somebody just going fucking nuts on the harpsichord 4. Every instrumental voice drops out except one; +1 if it's like a music box 5. Backwards violins

Hey, so the test results came back, and it turns out you have a severe deficiency of the indefinable essence that gives people value. Yeah, no, MATERIALLY you're a fully realised person with real hopes and dreams, but ONTOLOGICALLY you have roughly the same moral worth as a moderately clever gerbil.

Dating sim with fantastical horror elements that are only encountered if you let your character's Stress and Exhaustion meters go above 100%, except it's not pulling an "Eternal Darkness" what-if-it-was-all-a-hallucination thing – you just don't normally have the option to make decisions that bad.

Dating sim which initially appears to offer a wide variety of potential partners, but as you get deeper into each route you're given increasingly strong reasons to suspect that all of the available romantic interests are actually the same character in a series of cunning disguises.

One of the best games I've ever played

If you haven't played it yet, Control is currently 90% off on steam and it is one of my favorite games of all time. It's not perfect by any measure but it has so many moments that'll make you go "oh fuck that's fucking awesome hell yeah fuck yeah" that you owe it to yourself to try it.

Absolutely awesome thread, and it’s true and not true in a way that underscores a big reason why PBTA is as infectious as it is, and I’m going to make a weird assertion. PBTA has a magnificent failure state. Not *in* the game, but *as* a game.

15 years ago when Apocalypse World was new and people were beginning to understand and work with it, it was seductive to look at "acting under fire" and see, not one basic move of several, but the template underlying all the game's moves. Like @kierongillen.bsky.social 's classic gag:

Ashitaka's story emphasizes the importance of having two girlfriends, one who is nice but evil and one who is mean but good, and you have to spend all of your time doing stuff for them

Our guy walks into a totally unfamiliar environment with the craziest possible shit happening all around him and still somehow manages to make the correct moral choice like 85 times in a row.

Eventually we're going to have to acknowledge the fact that we're not going to be able to constructively address the GM burnout problem as long as our definition of "bad GMing" includes "having any preferences whatsoever about what kind of game they want to run".

She's missed you. Knights of Guinevere returns October 9. The season will feature 8 episodes.

Highly recommend checking this out! Honestly, one of the games that's made me think the most about how TTRPGs are designed and played in the last couple years!

Given all the *flails hands* you all deserve one of the most adorable pictures I took of Baby Bird Season 2026. A snowy ploverlet peeking through a little sand shrub. Perhaps a once in a lifetime shot. 🪶 🐣

If you're doing 2D game dev in Unity or Godot, at some point you're going to hear a little voice in your head saying "you know, I bet I could save myself the trouble of having to code a lot of really fiddly edge cases if I just make this thing a physics object". That voice is the Devil talking.
