Yo game dev friends you should drop your games below so this streamer who definitely isnt me can play them one day…. once her model is rigged.

Ok I think I’m back from the dead for real this time. Took a looooong break to recover from some stuff and now my writing has momentum again and I have some a fun new-old hobby to kick off in the next few months :-) If you watched my run of Tale Finders last year it may be familiar! STAY TUNED

When I was that age I ADORED the May Bird trilogy by Jodie Lynn Anderson. I recommend it for any spooky little girls (or spooky little girls at heart)

I love it! I had it recommended to me because I had mentioned missing Free Realms and a lot of people compare the two. Jel is a definite highlight, though

A screenshot from Palia, where the player character is standing so close to Jel that their models have clipped into one another.

I had a three year relationship end last month so I’ve been playing a lot of Palia lately to feel better. And by playing I mean following Jel around. We shall have a summer wedding.

It’s out! So thrilled to see this story in the wild. Inspired by all the little towns passed through (but never stopped in) on childhood road trips. Maybe one day I’ll go back and explore…

Im going to make the endless repeating hallway from PT out of delicious gingerbread and it’s going to be everyone’s problem.

Just had probably the weirdest two weeks of my entire young life BUT I have a commitment to a very important gingerbread house competition this week so its time to LOCK TF IN

Hiiii I have a ton of new followers now so its time for another intro/disclaimer…. I’m a horror author and a game dev. Sometimes I talk about author stuff. Sometimes I talk about game dev stuff. Mostly author stuff rn bc that’s what goes faster atm but one day it’ll be dev again. This is my cat.

I still think this is the coolest embroidery I’ve ever made, so many hours of work but so worth it

Here's some of my Game Boy Camera stuff for those of you new to my work - these are hardware glitches, done by shorting pins on the GBCam's RAM chip!

If Bluesky is the new social media app of record, I thought we should move the Jesse Eisenberg story over here.

I never considered myself much of a cozy games person bc so few of them hold my attention, but Palia has had me in a vice grip for like a year at this point. And yes you know your girl is romancing Jel. I'm like contractually obligated

Im lateeee to the party here but I just saw you drop this in the ICG discord if you've got room for one more!

part of a song I heard in a dream

SATURDARK - Candle She climbed the stairs and entered her bedroom. Her bed was made, as if nothing had ever happened. The elusive maid must have come by while Koharu had been at dinner. Koharu changed, washed her face, and climbed into bed, relieved that it was both comfortable and empty of any unwanted men. She made the decision not to snuff out the candle at her bedside, though she felt very childish for indulging her sudden fear of the dark. Rolling over so that she wouldn’t have to look at the face in the locked door, Koharu nestled into the bedclothes and dropped into a deep sleep.

#Saturdark looks fun! And the timing is perfect because I just picked #SeanceWIP back up today.

Koharu is not feeling very welcome in her new """governess""" position. It would help, perhaps, if her charge wasn't a 24 year old wannabe medium with a mean streak.

Not naming names, but the book I’m currently reading is a fantasy classic that is Mostly Very Good except whenever a woman shows up there’s always a reference to how attractive/sexually active she is. Even the POV character’s own mother. Is that weird? I feel like that’s weird.

Koharu: “Pardon me. The chicken is raw.”

Eloise: “A child I am not. What are you doing here?”

Both women are at the ends of their ropes and nothing’s even happened yet. If only they knew.

I’ve been thinking about Low Tide Jenny at least weekly since I first read it a year ago. It’s incredible.
