KoL: Meat. Meat, meat meat meat. Meat? Meat! Meat, meat meat. P.S. New challenge path is available.

But in the Latin alphabet, gabagool starts with a C.

started playing shadows over loathing. fought an evil tree.

inventing a fun new game where you get really wasted and put all your kitchen knives on the floor with the lights off. i call it Scary Floor

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

It's Arrrbor Day in the Kingdom of Loathing.

Melville: I hope you enjoyed that bloody action-packed chapter! But now, a moment to consider obscure technicalities about where everyone sits in the boat, how the boat is constructed, and my personal critique of current assigned seating practices.

A sketchy / finished piece of my Shadows over Loathing OC, Leon. He is staring into the camera with a hand over his eye in the 'OK' gesture, so that his eye is staring through the gap where his fingers touch. Behind him is an art deco frame; to his left are outlined symbols of three cursed items from the game (the cursed compass, dangerous pocketwatch, and cursed key, respectively); a constellation and two grey bunches of tentacles at his shoulders.

A close-up of the piece, on Leon's face.

this is yours, now, and it always was. ( OC ) #shadowsoverloathing

A screenshot of a text box from the game West of Loathing describing our character searching through a spittoon in a bar. The text reads: You're about to put your hand into a bucket of something the color and viscosity of maple syrup, except instead of maple it's flavored with the inside of the mouths of people who chew cigars instead of smoking them and have never brushed their teeth. (a sound effect is then written - glorp) It feels like putting your hand into a bucket of lukewarm tapioca pudding. Except instead of tapioca, it's basically poison. It smells like someone ran over a skunk, waited a week, and then set it on fire. It feels like your hand is dissolving. You found something. You found a tacky, filth-covered, porcelain cow figurine. A useless, disgusting thing that will make a great heirloom for your children, assuming you're still able to have any, and you hate them. You got an item: filthy porcelain cow A clickable box at the bottom of this has text that reads, "Hooray!"

I will never, EVER get tired of searching through all of the disgusting spittoons in West of Loathing and having the narrator be horrified at me every time.

A 2 panel sketch disgram of a 1 meter tall pod. in the second panel, an oval section pops off and a demonic little face with short tentacles flies out, crudely drawn.

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

“My smile cleans both sides of your utensils, sir. Nice and shiny, sir. Any food you leave on ‘em is my little treat sir”

Truly upsetting phrases. Imagine a wretched little goblin whispering them

A racoon cookie jar. The head of the racoon is off and a real raccoon is in the cookie jar so there's a real head where the cookie jar head should be

When you open yourself up and let someone peek underneath that armor but actually you've already just been your goofy as self the whole time

Quoting this so other ppl can see it.

If you want to support indie devs the best way to do it is to review their games on Steam, because games get a visibility boost the more reviews they have.

You don't need to write a long review for it to 'count' either, a single sentence is enough.

A classic tweet from @kennykeil [Bluto subtweeting after getting his ass whooped] I don't know who needs to hear this but spinach isn't a personality

It's spoooooky!

a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

“what was ‘the incident’ at your church growing up?” our priest was that one who got caught giving out half-blessings so he could skim the holiness off the top and use it to power himself up for bodybuilding tournaments. he was so ripped he couldn’t fit in the confessional

I never understood spaghetti code being an insult… who doesn’t like spaghetti!?

Just a warning about Casper mattresses: they do NOT hold up. I’ve had mine for just a couple of years and it was doing fine, but recently got into a Little Nemo-type situation and the bed broke up over the North Atlantic. Ended up needing a Coast Guard rescue and they laughed at my big nightshirt

KoL: February's Item-of-the-Month, the boxed Heartstone, is now available in Mr. Store. Pick one up and yank the hearts from some monsters.

just because something's complicated doesn't mean it's not stupid

i will never forgive the techbros for ruining computer
computer was the only thing i liked

KoL: February's Item-of-the-Month will be delayed a day or two. Sorry about that!

Found a video I'd recorded of me messing around with some of the different shoe options in Shadows Over Loathing (@asym.bsky.social).

Absolutely one of my favourite things in the game.
