RIP Mass Effect. At least we'll always have your trilogy. (A het-forced ME isn't ME at all)

@livvy.itch.io Loved your Pigcon vid! It was so honest and relatable and beautiful! Thank you!

debuting as part of @aftermath.site's hater week, here's my list of (so far) over 50 video game studios that are rejecting generative AI, each with their rationale for doing so

The Airbender movie is so thirsty lol I’m so into it.

It's so nearly done! 'The Walks We Used To Take' is a very personal game I've been working on. I'd love it if you checked it out!

Who was telling me which was the best Pokemon fan game? ...I think it's time.

I guess I'm a footy guy now.

A few testers lately have likened Janet to a point and click. I'm chuffed at the idea that we accidentally made one.

Happy four year anniversary to our beloved Queer Man Peering. A game that completely changed the trajectory of our lives. 😘😘 It was such a difficult development, but after four years of working on Janet I’m starting to think that maybe that’s an ‘us thing’. store.steampowered.com/app/1711420/...

The only reason I hadn’t tried this was because I can never fit it on my bloody iPhone. … I don’t regret it so much now. These vibes are … not for me. (Great article @shepardcdr.bsky.social, thank you!)

Spent the last few days chatting with queer men in the Love and Deepspace fandom about its homophobia problem, and why some fans are protective of the game to the point of resisting even men who like men taking part in the romance game's community. kotaku.com/love-deepspa...

I really love the femmeing of GoW Laufey’s weapon by adding plot-central RIBBONS. It’s so good.

Janet DeMornay is a Slumlord (and a Witch) was an absolutely wild game. The story is so surreal and the art style really adds to the weirdness of everything. I'm very intrigued to see just what Janet is up to and how much weirder my mind house is gonna get. Definitely worth checking out!

Deeply here for this insurgency.

Nick McKim@nickmckim.bsky.social · 2mo ago

So here for the transgender insurgency.

Saw some really fun drag tonight. But a King performing Eminem in a Brisbane gay bar fucked me up. I hated it so much. A room singing along to this infamously gay hating prick… have some fucken self awareness.

Steam Next Fest thread of recommendations! 1. Janet deMornay is a Slumlord and a Witch All the puzzles, creepiness, and fixed camera angles of a classic Resident Evil game, but in this instance, you’re trying to “survive” being a queer, 20-something tenant in the “horror” of late-stage capitalism.

We're erring on the comedy side of the comedy-horror. ...but there's definitely more scares in the full game. The toggle isn't for nothing.

Janet DeMornay Is A Slumlord (and a witch): LOVE this, extremely excited for the full game. Evil but glamorous and powerful old woman is catnip to me. Interested in seeing if that horror toggle is implying that there'll be a LOT of scares or very few, bc they're very mild (but fun!) in the demo.
