I've been reading Alfred Bester's "The Demolished Man" and it's absolutely great: Bester has this really Jack Kirby energy where it feels like he's throwing these very visual and create set-pieces at you as fast as you can read them. And the depiction of telepathy is really neat...

Former Games Industry washout, but chill about it. Current visual novel maker. My Toxic Yuri Jam entry is here, for fans of toxic yuri and the kafka-esc moral unease of corporate america. https://maidandlion.itch.io/asepsis
I absolutely love this. The face is very close to what I would have wanted to do with the character art in "Asepsis" if I'd have more time: just abstracting White and Blue further into their colors. Maybe next time.

Katherine out here laying down Truth. I have a lot more boundaries here than I used to when I was on twitter, and I do sometimes miss the way I used to feel like I was actually making friends and expressing myself back in the day? But honestly, it's best for everybody.
It's social media. Ellis isn't wrong, of course. Rowling clearly let all manner of criticism get deep under her skin. But that's downstream of Rowling *exposing* herself to so much of it without a filter, and responding to it without any mediation. Because she's addicted to Twitter.
Time to share my favorite single line from Terranigma.
This is it. This is the last time I'll ever get this hyped for a retro game release, because there's no 16-bit game I love as much as Terranigma.
Clear River Games is bringing Terranigma to PS5, PS4, Switch 2, Switch, Xbox, and PC in early 2027. A physical release is also planned: https://www.rpgsite.net/news/21176-terranigma-coming-to-ps5-ps4-switch-2-switch-xbox-pc-in-early-2027
@magsvisaggio.com you would not believe what I had to go through to find our old 2019 Spider-Girl comic in the Deep Archives.
@magsvisaggio.com remember when we did that short trans Peter Parker comic back in like 2019? Truly, we were ahead of our time.
due to a series of coincidences and errors i have gotten one (1) drink and gotten on a train and paid for neither. i am considering this the start of a spirit quest.
Oh dang, you got me.

Okay well, I guess I'm officially starting a new project to follow up on "Asepsis." Kind of terrified of losing momentum.
i need more people to talk about my vn where i can see it or i'm going to die. we're not going back to forums i know we're not going back to forums we're never going back to forums. but i'm about to start auditing discord servers
Anyway, I've been reading John le Carre lately, and his reputation as the serious, down-to-earth spy novelist left me completely unprepared for the fact that he's often really funny, and his supporting characters are really colorful?
I have been struggling to find something new to say about "Asepsis" since I released it a month ago. I will say, all the positive reviews have been incredible to see. This is my second visual novel, and I made comics before that, but this is the first time I feel like I'm really reaching people.
"Asepsis." My contribution to Toxic Yuri VN Jam 2. maidandlion.itch.io/asepsis a cyberpunk-ish story about a waitress who meets a corporate assassin and becomes hooked on the idea of self-annihilation by means of being the worst version of yourself. 18+, scenes of a sexual nature
I really enjoyed this one.
Pill in the Pudding - Initially assumed the humor wouldn't be for me, but was totally wrong. Art is great, characters are fun, and I love the brainspace ui for when the mc's headmates bicker. Couldn't figure out more than 2 endings, but defo enjoyed what I played! sleepyjump.itch.io/pill-in-the-...
when you think about it Contact Wound is kind of about a young witch helping her neighbour find her lost cat in a village in the Alps
we all have that one homie with a complex relationship to bodies of water
This has been one of my absolute favorites from the toxic Yuri jam 2. Delicate pacing, sense of mood, terrific skill with exposition. Also it's about spy stuff and reprogrammable minds and regrets and rebuilding. Highest recommendations.
i made a game w/ @szaramysz.bsky.social and my friend ezra fae. please have a look (gestures towards projector screen). summertriangle.itch.io/contact-wound #tyvnj2

zero parades was pretty damn good too which is of course how you know everybody at the studio was going to get fired.
Oh dang, my entry for Toxic Yuri Jam 2 has officially surpassed the lifetime downloads of my other VN project after being out for only three days. maidandlion.itch.io/asepsis

to be serious about art is to maintain an open and playful heart
