I'm gonna go with the Endless Quest series of books originated by Rose Estes. I remember getting them from the school's library in maybe the 1st or 2nd grade and they created a lasting interest in branching stories and interactive fiction

In honor of Dolly and her commitment to getting books to kids, tell me about a book you read as a child that changed your life. I’ll start: so many, but tonight maybe I’ll say A WRINKLE IN TIME, a book that taught me anger wasn’t wrong.

5. Veneno para las Hadas (1986). El sueño de la razón produce monstruos, even in children, and it's terribly easy for your imagination to run away with you when you're a kid. Nicely recreates that childhood feeling of being trapped in a game of pretend that has gone on too long

Veneno para las Hadas (1986). Two children, Ana Patricia Rojo and Elsa Maria, in a darkened basement, standing around a desk topped with a few lit candles. One of them is holding a rolled up sheaf of sheet music to the flame of one of the candles.

If you've got an old 3DS kicking around I suggest checking on the battery and the SD card. I've noticed problems with both on a couple of ~10 year old 3DS consoles. I haven't lost any actual save data, but a couple of .app files wouldn't copy when I tried to back them up.

I started rewatching some episodes of Polar Bear Cafe. It really should have gotten a cute little 3DS game with a meandering hybrid structure. Quicktime events where you have to respond to Polar Bear's dajare, etc

Sorry but it's bleakly funny that this line was presented as damning evidence of the VNs politics. This was the stance held by a lot of self-described LIBERALS in the US up until Obergefell dropped, 7 or so years after this scene is set.

Screenshot of Campo Largo VN. The dialogue box reads, "I don't get why they don't just relable them all 'civil unions' and let religions conduct whatever wedding ceremonies they like after the couple's visit to the Civil Registry, kinda like they do here in Paraná."

If you've seen some lopsided or vitriolic shit on Bsky about Campo Largo, don't buy any of it. This is a thoughtful, well-written story created with love and dedication by a smart, kind, caring person that gives nuances and heartfelt expression to his (complex!) lived experience, and it's GREAT!

Route 2: Bifurcados... is now FULLY available! - Elder Tilman is lost. Only Elder Hartley can get him home. Itch Page: toledo-art.itch.io/campo-largo Dev Log: toledo-art.itch.io/campo-largo/... #FurryVN

A sunset background. Below, an elk in silhouette stands between railroad tracks. Above, a ghostly hare outline. In the middle, Elder Hartley looks behind himself, wary.

I feel like even defending the VN on its merits is sending the wrong message. I don't agree that something is only okay to publish if its intent is benign. I believe we should Harm The Community with our art

[becoming crazed] art should physically harm you

boo they're gonna shut down Pokemon Bank. Hopefully someone will compile a list of shinies to hunt before Feb of next year. AFAIK the Virtual Console Celebi is the only version of it that can be shiny hunted right now, so it'd be nice to have a definitive list of things like that
