A NON-COMPREHENSIVE THREAD OF GAMES I LOVE THAT YOU SHOULD GET IN THE ITCH SALE. Hello. I like cozy solo journaling games, weird little silly things, introspective shit, GMless stuff... anyway, I'm going to create a thread of games I like that YOU should go check out in the Itch sale!

Whenever I hear devs or other creatives who do worldbuilding say they *have* to use ch*tGPT to help with their lore bibles because no human could possibly collate such a huge and complex world… I glare in historian

A sincere thank you to everyone who has bought Last Tea Shop. Every purchase adds a community copy, and I've just refreshed the pool after the winter sale. If you've been wanting to try the game but life's got in the way, plenty are available right now 🍵 springvillager.itch.io/last-tea-sho...

Yesterday my leg was healed enough to go on a short walk up Pororari River. Sheer limestone cliffs, tui song, giant nikau palms, ferns and lichen everywhere. Last night it rained on the cabin and I dreamt of stone and moss

Come visit Doskvol, the jewel of Akoros, in '68. Home of the original bluetime (first and best). Crime rates are better than before*

A tourist map of the city of Doskvol for Blades '68, featuring the 15 districts and key landmarks in each. A zoomed-in section of the tourist map of Doskvol, for Blades '68.

For months I’ve been looking forward to hiking the Paparoa Track. Unfortunately, I twisted my knee yesterday and can’t walk. Instead, I’m in a tiny cabin for four days in Punakaiki, waiting for friends to return. Deeply sad about not going on the walk, but grateful for an impromptu solo retreat.

You know that kind review you left for an indie game on itch? The creator read it and it meant the world to them. And they will go on to make more cool stuff because you took the time to say something positive. Being nice is cool. Keep it up.
