IF Short Games Showcase 2025 A game jam from 2025-11-23 to 2026-01-25 hosted by Emery Joyce & Encorm. What is the Short Games Showcase? The Short Games Showcase is an opportunity to show off shorter interactive fiction works made...

The IF Short Games Showcase 2025 is live, if not indexed yet! I'm really excited to see what works people choose to highlight.

I, too, aspire to make language a complete impediment to understanding

Happy birthday to one of the greatest! Genuinely formative for me.

Go up
> you cannot enter Nirvana with Desires in your inventory

>drop Desires
you now have 2 Desires

it's probably reflective of something that Halloween is my favorite holiday but I haven't been able to muster a shred of enthusiasm beyond "getting a cool low-effort costume idea the day before, not being able to find 2/3 of the components wherever they are in my apartment, and giving up," huh?

also, happy birthday to this one!

I have been foiled again by a combination of life events, scope creep, and general burnout, but at least I can console myself with all the other shiny Ectocomp games.

(Keep an eye out for Lustratio, whenever I finally manage to get it live...)

ECTOCOMP 2025 A game jam from 2025-10-01 to 2025-12-01 hosted by rubereaglenest, alyshkalia & Passerine. There's a full moon rising Let's go dancing in the light We know where the music's playing Let’s go out and f...

I finally got around to playing Return of the Obra Dinn. May the person who made an anti-motion sickness mod for it know my undying gratitude

Congratulations to the winners! A very strong batch of games this year. I didn't get to play and rate nearly as many as I wanted to; same as it ever was.

(*cough* please fill out the survey golmac.org/your-opinion...)

Beef 'O' Brady's is NOT a real restaurant name and I refuse to believe that it is

Happy birthday to the best meme (and possibly best thing at all) I've ever made

GOAT TOWER FARM Check out this GoDaddy hosted webpage! http://goattowerfarm.com.

"if you ignore bullies, they'll go away" is largely unhelpful, but for a lot of these commenters, they're seeking some small scrap of visibility and/or power over others, so why give them the positive reinforcement? let them rot in the reply trenches, face-to-face with their crushing irrelevance

a hot take: digging up assholes from your replies to screenshot them for clapbacky ragebait content is just platforming them

hate that this is what the algorithm demands, but if the cost of visibility is handing your mic over to the worst possible people, maybe you should reconsider why you want it

(before anyone tries to "well, actually" my shitpost: yes, I am aware it's been in use for like 400 years, thanks!)

How is "bleb" an actual conventional medical term? Cute-animal-meme-ass vocabulary. Deeply unserious

it was all downhill from Cubone's backstory

Last Night of the World Roughly based on the Ray Bradbury story of the same name.

Something that actually *has* come to fruition lately: new song, this collab with Rescue Shelter, about a year in the making! So excited we got to do this.

gotta admit the cheese engineering is impressive, at least

Most of my "out of your comfort zone" recs on StoryGraph are in the vein of "organize your shit, you chaos sprite," which:

a) rude but fair
b) what tipped you off, "always reading multiple books at once" or "alternating between finishing several books a week and not updating for two months"?

well, I bit off more than I could chew, didn't finish my IFComp entry in time, and I've been essentially dead to the world stressing out over projects at various stages of (non)completion for a month, but... at least I had fun sometimes, and the weather's cool enough to go outside again?

small clay sculpture, ball of swirled neon orange/green covered in deep fingernail marks

small clay sculpture, classic yellow smiley face/emoji crying tears of blood

small clay sculpture, rectangular field of dark blue with scattered greenish circles nestled in yellow crescents to represent fireflies

been playing with air-dry clay lately because it's a more tactile form of creativity I don't have the time to overthink too much
