Image 1: A photo of two zines. The one on the left is titled "Lessons I've Learned From Sewing" by Staceart. It has a quilt block on the cover. The other is "Stace's Sketches 2024 Edition" which has sketches of fairies on the cover.

Image 2: A photo of a hand holding two zines. The minizine on the left is "Snail's Guide to get GOING" by Staceart. It has a snail like creature wearing glasses laying down. The other has a colorful cover titled "Words of Encouragement A September 2024 Diary" by Staceart.

Image 3: A photo of three zines. The top two zines are "Strange But Beautiful" Issues 1 and 2. The covers have the artist depicted with their anxiety and depression as two creatures. The bottom minizine is "Reminders for deconstructing my perfectionism" by Staceart. There are roses drawn with markers on the cover.

Image 4: A photo of five zines. The top minizine is "Reminders for deconstructing my perfectionism" by Staceart. There are roses drawn with markers on the cover. Below that on the left is "Glimmer" which has a collage cover, primarily blue with orange accents. On the right is "Sprite Zine 2019-2021" that has artwork of a creature made of pebbles surrounded by smaller green plant sprites. The zine on the bottom left row is "Grow At Your Own Pace" with a risograph printed cover of houseplants. The bottom right is a bright green "A Pocket Guide to Sprites" minizine.

It's hard to believe Phoenix Zine Fest is this weekend! I am excited to debut my two newest zines: "Lessons I've Learned From Sewing" and "Stace's Sketches 2024 Edition." I am vending on Saturday but will have these zines with me on Sunday!

There is a long-standing pattern where chronically ill people, even those who previously had extensive support networks and community, are abandoned and isolated.

WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass

WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

gamerssssss i'm back in the streaming chair after an accidental three months off of my channel, and we're playing a game that's been haunting the dark shadows of my steam library, Slayaway Camp! www.twitch.tv/mercutiglo

Here's where you can find us and our friends for spooky month streams!

I lied. ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠˘⁠_⁠˘⁠)⁠┌ Corrected Hallow-Stream schedule, some game delays and mind-changes later! VGG's sticking with oneway.exe (new release date Oct. 22) for our Hallow-Stream and it'll now be a doubled-up celebration as a @fernfolk.bsky.social birthday stream on Oct. 27!

REVIEW: The action roguelike's new era is marked by games like Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree Hard to say goodbye.

Character relationships and stories told between friends over a campfire are the anchor of Towa's narrative power. The newest from Brownies Inc. and @bandainamcoent.com is a dense, impressive and snappy action gameplay experience — slightly marred by a bafflingly steep late-game difficulty spike.
