RIGHT!? As a huge fan of Jake Hunter and J. B. Harold Murder Club and various lesser-known Japanese adventure games, I‘m dyin’ to play those. What a magical scene Japanese flip phones were – low budgets and skilled developers… We don’t see that outside of indie games today.

Having a strong urge to start a weekly stream where I play the whole “G-Mode Archives” series of Virtual Console-style Japanese flip phone game re-releases and translate live for the viewers… Like + comment + subscribe + send me a letter sealed with a kiss if you would watch

I hate that I love LaTeX. I’m an elder zoomer who wears short skirts and this creaky, dusty software makes me act like I’m a gen X math nerd with coke bottle glasses and a lawn.

@qthewetsprocket.bsky.social Reading ”Liberating Earth”, and omagad I loved loved LOVED Red Rover Red Rover – YA-esque adventure/romance is a surprisingly natural fit for FP, and your worldbuilding technique is *immaculate*. Getting True Stories next so I can read more of your work! ☺️

No way…! Well⁠ — turns out to be a fully respectable structure for a novella, dunnit! I hope to get the opportunity to write something for Faction Paradox, too, in the future⁠ — thank you for being a source of inspiration. ☺️

I had such a good time with it! Especially Requiem for a Renaissance captured my imagination and was such a page-turner – big into the “single-author anthology” feeling. 🥰

I’m holding my hand out with the little finger and thumb splayed out to form a crude “K”. My thumb doesn’t bend far enough. Plot twist! That hand is the K in the logo of the 1990 arcade action puzzle game Klax, as seen in the game’s logo! The cover art is extremely ’90s, with hot pink and shrill yellow and abstract shapes.

It is the ’90s. There’s finally time.

if i had different skills i would make the youtube video essay about how the weird font i've seen in some video games' subtitles led me down a rabbit hole into the genius film subtitles done by hideo sato, but here's an amazing article that covers his work

@obversebooks.bsky.social @blairbidmead.bsky.social Y’ello – it looks like the ISBN of “Rose-Coloured Crosshairs” is malformed (at least in the e-book version)! A digit is missing. What’s its actual ISBN? Signed, one of those database freaks.
