Sooz (ghost in the machine ooo~)

not me imagining Kris Statlander as Samus ;; ; ; ;;;; ;

perfect, no notes

Just in time for Halloween, a MONSTER Milestone 11 update is now available. Release date info, melee retrospectives, and Musings on The World abound. It is too big for Kickstarter's character limit, so we had to split it into two. Check it out as it was intended on our Patreon!

I briefly worked at quiznos and people would come in just to tell us they didn't like these commercials and then leave without buying anything

me and who

let the alt text get search indexed you cowards

revisiting Umurangi in the wake of Penguin Colony. Wonder if this game's about anything

Man I Just Wanna Live is an MSPaint-noir visual nightmare set to release in 2027. It currently has 1926 wishlists on Steam but it would be nice to have 2000 by the end of October so please repost

if people are going to spend so much time creating curated lists of "Not Recommended" "woke" games on Steam (and nobody's going to stop them) then we might as well just save up all our money and buy them all

it's "Subspace Sooz" on Blippo+!

The plan? Produce the biggest sure-fire flop on Broadway.

to the best of my knowledge, Steam has historically not cared about curators like this and Woke Detector, but their "Not Recommended" lists can be a GREAT place to shop! especially now, if you're having trouble digging past the AI content

it's "Subspace Sooz" on Blippo+!

Blippo+ is a good time even if you don't know what's going on and also sometimes you have to ask the real questions about it.

For all the claims from AI marketing people and their sycophants that it's the Next Big Thing and Everyone's Doing It, if you look at the most-played rankings on demos? Almost all AI stuff sank to the bottom. Nobody wants to touch it even for free. There's the occasional exception but that's rare.

does bluesky know about my friend Dr. Goomba Tower #vtuber #envtuber

It's @soozwave.bsky.social and Chorby. You don't have to be alone and you can just [Man I Wanna Go Home] with us tonight twitch.tv/chorbySP

"find the mimic/fake/impostor" gameplay but it's all known ai art tropes (educational, teaches critical observation skills)

first good feature in a minute

It has come to my attention that many people are unaware that the person who figured out that the private key was 4 was a Something Awful forums goon: forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.p...

It is my sincere hope that everyone I know reaches a point where they can look at something like this and KNOW IMMEDIATELY that it's bullshit like the "Bandcamp Support Team" whose fan mail is ALWAYS wrapped within the warding phrase "Bandcamp will never use this form to contact you directly"

FYI, the Next Fest page has updated! Where previously it was slop, my top recommendations in the main listing are: Dead of the Brain Queen's Domain ReBlade Annalynn MD Anomalith TETRIC (which is new to me and looks WILD) Derelikt Godzilla: DAMM Surfpunk Prison Of Husks Hell Wait Zero AI. Told ya.

Silent Hill Homecoming is BUGGY AS HELL. This is not a complaint. #Clips #streamer #silenthill #Vtuber #melodyclips

what if I could ignore every game that included "and pay off your debts" in its description?

A few things about this. 1) You should always dual stream to new services. 2) We won't have new services like Altstream if we don't support them. 3) This is already bigger than VStream was. 4) Altstream isn't paying large amounts of money to Amazon for hosting.

I see the Steam NextFest page UI is still doing the broken-ass thing where if I click "Show More", it will inexplicably teleport me to some unknown part of the page while loading up a bunch of new entries both above and below my cursor.

I don't know how we manage to do this every time, but there's a rare livestream I'd planned all week to watch this evening, and instead of doing that, I have to take people to an even more rare late-afternoon/early-evening Kaiser appointment

you have to appreciate how much this image believes that there is valor to be stolen from the Wii REMOTE™ and NUNCHUK™'s great grandfather, the Power Glove.

in the ten or more??? years? that I've known Chorby (née Solon) I've never known him to shy away from a challenge, especially when the retro gaming community isn't going to make that any easier for him. watch now as he turns his garage into the Island of Misfit Wii Games, five dollars at a time

NEW: youtu.be/iWBf9h095ew I spent last weekend at @retrogamingexpo.bsky.social to acquire the worst game I could find on the Nintendo Wii and it took all of my skills as a librarian to find them! Somewhere along the way this became my manifesto on games librarianship, I hope you like it!

Increasing Bandcamp popularity indicator

I think I'll just point to this in future if my stance on GenAI usage is questioned. This is regarding the latest "random dumbfuck posts Claude recomp in a community space" I had to endure live, and how I was not charitable in my direct responses to them.

thinking about Fuck Clown again

the way artists talk about these class arguments sometimes mistakes the conflict as an understanding of humanity or heart, when I think the reality is simpler: as wealth replaces community, the billionaire's brain sloughs all previously-useful neural pathways, reshaping itself into a natural pudding
