i cannot fucking believe that when all is said and done we will have gotten eleven full length official umineko stageplays plus all the tea parties and they're one of the best adaptations of a vn to a new medium i've ever seen

lrp one of my favorite qualities in horror and suspense works is when the author has calmly loaded the gun in front of you, even shown you exactly how it works, and all you can do is wait for them to pull the trigger on the horrible inevitable thing they just told you flat out would happen

One of my favorite and most effective design patterns is "tell the player exactly what you're gonna do to them, then do it." You can be SIGNIFICANTLY meaner to the player if you simply tell them ahead of time that that's exactly what you'll be doing, and also the suspense of the warning is a delight

"Fandoms used to be full of nice ppl before covid and then all the bullies and popular kids joined" is literally an "the earth is flat" tier false belief to me

tossed the cardigan i'd been wearing on the foot of my bed for a minute when i was getting ready for bed last night and my cat immediately curled up on top of it and slept there the whole night 🥺🥺🥺

it didn't hallucinate anything. it did exactly what it was programmed to do. just because it did it in a way that was wrong or unhelpful for you doesn't mean it was *experiencing* the uniquely human (or living) concept of sensing things in your environment that aren't real

ryukishi is really funny as a writer because he can churn out some real bullshit (derogatory), but if he really locks in he can hit you with unbelievably upsetting and heartfelt stories about women

cannot stop thinking about how awesome yumeko paranormasight is. i also didn't think they could possibly make sodo's situation funnier but they really really did

my single criticism of the needle drops in death stranding is they're always scripted to happen within like 20 seconds of you getting to an area that will instantly cut the music short. like can't the BTs enjoy some low roar too

As we mourn the tragedy of 9/11 and its afterlives, I'm also thinking about how the violence and kidnapping and horror and fascism we have seen from ICE (both before and supercharged by this regime) is a direct product of 911. Another after life, done by our government in our name, killing us now.

you couldn't pay me to play a danganronpa game in 2026 but that's so funny. what the fuck could that game possibly have going on that would benefit even slightly from 32gb ram
