Feel it's important to get this into the consciousness before the Neuromancer series starts but ACAB includes topless French Turing cops.
Thank you to everyone who has picked up a copy of the paid rules of HYBAGG. I was hoping to get about $1k of sales from the itch funding and purchases right before/after July and we basically got there. This means I can spend more time developing the game, which rules! notwriting.itch.io/hybagg
thank you., a game of gratitude, is another way you can support me. you pay for the game, you win the game. your purchase also includes a PNG of the "thank you." logo with transparent background, licensed cc by 4.0, so you can use it in your projects. jnbutlerart.itch.io/thank-you
The 500 FINGER FILLET demo is OUT NOW!!! 500 STABS. 20 MINUTES TO ESCAPE. A horror roguelite about stabbing yourself in the hand 500 times to escape a deadly trap. Can you make it out with all your fingers? Or will you bleed out on the table? store.steampowered.com/app/4973880/...
Petra has been such a great advocate and friend throughout making this game and I had so much fun playing it with her. Check out her article about it!
Petra Skelton@ohnoaskelton.bsky.social · yesterdayToday on TTB, I got to write about one of my favorite new games, how it upholds the legacy of the sort of play-by-post roleplaying that got me into this hobby, and shaped me as a writer. As an added bonus, it also includes written Actual Play transcripts w the dev, @notwritinggames.bsky.social

Figuring out you're trans is like being stuck on a puzzle in a video game. You overthought it you dumb bitch.
Guys will listen to male influencer bullshit about needing to have a six pack and manipulate everyone and meanwhile women will go “you know who is the sexiest fucking guy I’ve ever seen?” and post this
Idk man I think a worker owned collective of journalists who aren't afraid to report complicated situations of harm in our industry is really good and I'd like to see it continue and hopefully one day expand. I'd love for said journalists to be able to earn a livable wage while doing it too. 💙

We need Rascal in this space. Think of all the bad actors, the shitty goings on, that would never have been called out without independent journalism. But that costs and that's where we come in. Unlike some other sites they can't take a sponsor because of potential bias. WE have to be their sponsor.

Being the finance lead for rascal the last year has been a gradually worsening job, only because I have to be the bearer of bad news each month as the global economy gets worse and worse. If you want Rascal to continue to exist for years to come, we need your support

I'd participate in the "Without downloading new pics what's it like dating you" meme but uh... Not ready to show those sorts of pics online yet. 🔥🥵
*Looking up at the sky as it rains during Pride weekend* I know you're trying to help with the heat but I just wanted to bring you in to let you know you're actually being homophobic right now.
Too tired to be gay today I had a full day of being gay yesterday and have another full day of being gay tomorrow.
Getting Too Excited About Projects And Forgetting To Eat: the december story Anyway looking forward to spending less money on Magic The Gathering and way more time on making proxies.
The fiction we were told about the real world feels so porous now that when you see other people replicate it like this, it’s a shock.
Hendrik is writing an ashcan about nuns@napel.itch.io · 4d agoWe shouldn't be too down on a game like Dungeons & Kittens winning an Ennie even though it lacks imagination or innovation. We should be down on it because the game re-introduce the civilized-savage dichotomy into a setting about talking adventure cats on the first page of its introduction.
![Humans have disappeared from the planet, leaving only a few remains dotted throughout the newly lush vegitation. [...] However, humans did leave something for animals: the gifts of speech and imagination, the ability to anticipate and predict, the power to invent. But not all creatures accepted those gifts. There are animals who speak, walk, and use objects and tools; and there are beasts, who remain speechless and fierce, and kept their original nature.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uer5fkbpt7o4ht5lyp7uwk57/bafkreidxv67ry5izssk4gqwt2znuwidplmqcvd72xs5uvb2t2kcahe6pqu)
