Worth. Every. Second.
Burn With Me is participating in Steam Next Fest! We've polished our demo, and are so ready. Our game is turning to be something special, and we're happy to see people falling in love with our eerie narrative deckbuilder - maybe you're next? store.steampowered.com/app/2954010/... #SteamNextFest
*Sigh* ...You had me at "Narrative Deckbuilder." AND "occult." Basically, every word sold me! Time to roll up my sleeves and fulfill my cosmic role in the universe! 🤙
We just launched demo for Burn With Me! store.steampowered.com/app/2954010/... It's a narrative deckbuilder filled with cozy dread and occultic mysteries. Also, you need to burn you cards. A lot. Full release is closer and closer, but for now - please try the demo, and enjoy a new trailer!
Steam is having a Deckbuilders Fest, and I'm not remotely ashamed that I either own or already wishlisted most of them. Is it a problem or a hobby?
When Playstack arrives, I awaken once more. 'RACCOIN' makes me feel like I'm 'Balatro-ing' again but with the fiendish forces of RNG chaos I adore! You Push Coin. You Get Numbers. Dopamine Ensues.
RACCOIN is OUT NOW on Steam. 🦝 Developed by Doraccoon, @raccoingame.bsky.social is a roguelike deckbuilder full of shiny coins, lucky spins, and satisfying combos. Huge congratulations to Doraccoon and well done to our Playstack team! Play now on Steam: tinyurl.com/mpb9kbwu #raccoin #playstack
IT'S DOC TIME, Y'ALL. Read. Support. Enjoy. Nothing brightens my day (and sharpens my mind) more than a visit from the only Doc I've ever been happy to see!
NEW ARTICLE! NEW ARTICLE!! Ever wonder ~why~ so many Western stories about samurai all tell you a story about someone who really, really, really likes honor? Where did that come from? And why is it so pervasive? What are samurai movies really about? medium.com/@docseuss/wh...
We support great games in this house! 😃

I find myself having a lot to add to this, but honestly? Choosing my peace and working through all of the genuine resentment I began to feel for the space in private has been the *best* decision I ever made. (Ana's frustration and feelings of excommunication are entirely valid, to be clear.)
HELLO??? WHY AM I JUST NOW FINDING OUT ABOUT BEL'S FANFARE? www.kickstarter.com/projects/chi...

New article time!!! Ever wonder why a bunch of weirdoes keep telling us that Grand Theft Auto 6 is the most important event in history and video game prices have to go up? Well, here's why these weirdoes are completely out of touch with reality! docseuss.medium.com/a-hundred-do...
I'm looking for a new occupational home! I'd love to continue down the PR/Comms/Marketing path, but I'm open to potential pivots! Want an indie gaming fiend on your squad? *That's me.* 😁 🎮 (You never know, BlueSky might come in clutch!)
We're in the final week and it's 3/4s of the way to being funded! *Let's gooooooo -- support insane, weirdo projects!* 😁
2. I want this stop-motion horror game to be funded really, really, *REALLY* badly. I need the internet to rally behind ABIDE. Watch the trailer. Embrace the unknown. Enjoy. *Do it.*

*Sigh* I have many thoughts about this I'll never publicly articulate. But if you're an aspiring games journalist and you happen to see this: Create. Your. Own. Path. Please. Don't rely on foolish optimism like I did and join a corporate entity thinking: "This time, maybe it'll work." It won't.
FINALLY. I PARTAKE.
New article time! This one's about Planescape: Torment. I was commissioned to cover it, so I have. I was... disappointed to find I didn't really like the game. I tried not to be too mean, but I really, really disliked this game's treatment off women. docseuss.medium.com/okay-heres-t...
The cruelest irony of how @acvalens.com has been treated throughout the year is that many of the people who love kicking her when she's down wouldn't take on a FRACTION of what she willingly puts herself through day in and day out. Then, somehow, have the gall to assassinate HER character.
I swear, everyone *better* show up and show out when Doc drops his inevitable 'Planescape Torment' piece that I'm unreasonably excited for! I crave it. I need it. (Also, support Doc because he's one of the greats and knows his shit!)
I've had a horrible holiday and I may need to pay for a tow on my car. If you like my writing and want this holiday to suck less, please consider my tip jar at paypal.me/stompsite my writing, which is all freely available for you to read, can be found at docseuss.medium.com
To have the tools, time, and clearance as an outlet/entity to dig into Ana's recent horrendous struggles and have nothing to say about it is journalistic cowardice, plain and simple. Don't position yourself as a leader and authority in the space if you aren't going to do any real work.
Popping out the shadows again for a hot second. Support Ana as much as you're able. Despite the sheer misery of it all, she actively chooses to discuss topics and issues most others would rather not because it's "uncomfortable." Because she, against all fucking odds, *believes* in a better world.
I see new Doc, I share and support new Doc. Now more than ever, we need to stand by and boost as many knowledgeable, talented folks between the games industry and games journalism as we can. The bottom doesn't have to fall out into the abyss if we form a safety net around the greats!
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! I HAVE WRITTEN A NEW ARTICLE! this one's a bit weird; rather than doing my usual "trying to organize my thoughts and building a winding case that builds on itself," I decided to show you what my EARLY article creation process looks like: docseuss.medium.com/some-loosely...
"Is there a Doctor in the house?!" Why, yes. Yes there is. And he's put out another Doc Classic!
GUESS WHO'S BACK BACK AGAIN DOC'S BACK TELL A FRIEND That's right. It's time for part 3 of the FPS series; this time, a lot of assorted thoughts on what makes for good enemy design. This one was fun as hell to write. docseuss.medium.com/building-a-b...
@shauncichacki.bsky.social stood on business for devs of all stripes and sacrificed his livelihood to do the right thing. He deserves as much love and support as anyone can feasibly offer.
