Welcome to Spruceway

Exhibit 1: The Source Is it… Okay. Recording. Hi.  Jules found this audio recorder in what’s left of The Source. I said she should find something with video.

PLEASE SHARE! I am raising funds for a dear friend and member of the literary as well as arts communities. $5 and $10 goes a long way! Reshares even further! We are just $800 from our goal and my hope is bluesky can take us the rest of the way. 💛💛💛 chuffed.org/project/1299...

"I don’t think you’ll be able to get this through customs with the forest you gathered screeching so loud" Read from @spondeee.bsky.social's BABY CERBERUS (@wolsakandwynn.bsky.social), and our interview with the poet, in today's #ALUtributaries feature. alllitup.ca/tributaries-...

This spring, on April 1st, @houseofanansi.bsky.social will publish my debut poetry collection, Myth! It's a little tropical, a little lyrical, a little speculative, something for everyone! 🌴🧜🏾‍♀️👽🌙 Preorders are open! Please share if you can! houseofanansi.com/products/myt...

Myth

Myth, the much-anticipated debut collection from the multi-talented Terese Mason Pierre, weaves between worlds (‘real’ and ‘imaginary’) unearthing the unsettling: our jaded and joyful relationships to...

I finished my first playthrough of Silent Hill 2 Remake and why did the ending screen have to show me that I checked the map 1755 times?! My map checking habits are between me and God 😭

Does anyone have favourite video games-related podcasts they’d recommend? 👀 I want to listen to people’s cultural commentary on games - ideally horror.

The way I experienced Final Fantasy 7 growing up was strangely by playing and watching all the spin-off content (Dirge of Cerberus, Crisis Core, Advent Children) but never FF7 itself

Silent Hill 2 Remake has some of the best audio design I’ve ever experienced so I’m always wearing my headphones, but it also makes it so much scarier 😭

If you are curious about game narrative and narrative design, one of the all time best resources available is Emily Short's blog: emshort.blog

It was so soothing to listen to @sonj.bsky.social’s podcast voice while streaming this look inspired by the @augursociety.bsky.social Murmurstations logo (by Moccha!). I’m rusty, but hopefully I’ll revisit my makeup collection more. Won’t be gluing feathers to my face again anytime soon though 😅

Many conversations and many spreadsheets

How do you make game?

I wasn’t gonna play the FF7 remakes (even as a big Final Fantasy fan) but the promise of more Zack Fair content and Aerith and Cloud’s VAs giving award-winning performances is 👀 intriguing me

the cryptid energy of signing up for bluesky then immediately vanishing from it (it’s me sorry, expect more cryptid sightings soon ✌️😔✌️)
