I released my Interactive Fiction What Happened to the Crew? last week to little fanfare. I was just happy to share my work with other fans of the genre.

Within a week it’s at over 1000 plays, 5-star reviews and glowing comments from players enjoying the ride.

I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

comparison between apple's finder icon and mine. apple's is the split blue and white smiley face, mine is two blue and white anime girls making out

comparison between discord's icon and mine. mine is like a screaming cat on a blue/purple slimy background

comparison between celsys's clip studio paint icon and mine. mine is similar but rotated with some comic styling and pink and blue highlights

comparison between mozilla's firefox icon and mine. mine is similar but looks closer to the old firefox icon and brings back the little arm and gives the fox a cute little smiley face

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

I enjoyed Type Help so much that I decided to create an interactive fiction game in the same style.

What Happened to the Crew is a totally free terminal-based sci-fi mystery inspired by Type Help, Obra Dinn and Immortality.

It’s available now on itch.io

an ad for the new series “welcome to derry” with the tagline “go back to where IT all began“, except somehow, they highlighted the word “to“ instead of “it“

"oh, don't forget to highlight, in bright red, the two-letter word in the tagline! the two letter word that's kind of the whole point of this clever ad campaign! the two letter word that links this show to the horror movie of the same name!"

"no problem boss. i'm on it"

New game released: What happened to the Crew? - What happened to the crew?

My current games rotation:
- Silksong
- Metal Gear Delta
- Death Stranding 2
- Borderlands 4

I posted on Twitter how much I liked the animations of Hornet from Silksong that reminded me of Alucard, and a completely unnecessary fight started there over nothing, I wanted to understand where people get so much hate from. x__x (I hope here is better)

Then explain to me why this is okly a problem in the states? Easy access to guns is the only reason. Wake up.

My current games rotation:
- Death Stranding 2
- Silksong (as soon as it’s out)
- Tiny Bookshop
- Is this seat taken?

Because Dems or other major public figures they don’t want to hurt are also in the files. But unlike Republicans, we’re not delusional and a cult, we’re well aware that both parties suck at the moment.

Not only that but walking out to stop a bill passing is a common tactic of Republicans in Oregon. They do it far more often than the Texan Dems. The hypocrisy is unreal.

That is such a weird response. I’m French so yes I know how to get to Paris but DC isn’t some weird third world place, it’s very easy to get there too. I was only making the comparison to Paris because they happened days apart. I could have easily said the NY Macy’s Parade to the same effect.

My favourite moment in Death Stranding was coming back over a year after I’d last played to find myself inundated with thousands of likes and seeing the road and zip line network I’d painstakingly built back then still in working order and getting maintained by grateful strandees who came after me.

That’s such a weak argument. You could say the same thing about the French 14th July Paris military parade yet people show up in droves to it every year because it’s a special event.

Nobody thought Biden was a savior but Trump is the biggest disgrace that’s ever been.

I’m really enjoying it. It’s like “police simulator” but more polished. Their previous game “American Fugitive” was also a good time.

Yes Outer Wilds is a great comparison actually.

And Balatro was the third largest winner of GOTY awards across the industry (after Astro Bot and FF7:R)

It’s also one of the most original games in a long time, has a great story that unfolds as you discover more about the history of the world it’s set in and is closer to Obra Dinn, The Witness, Fez and Animal Well than to any roguelites.

… Blue Prince?

The person who did the photoshop wasn’t even trying to make it look like a tattoo, they were trying to prove that the 4 tattoos on his fingers represent M.S.1.3.
I don’t know if it’s true or not but we live in the dumbest timeline when Trump thinks the “MS13” text is a real tattoo 🤦‍♂️

That’s just the multiplayer streaming that’s at a lower frame rate and resolution. It does look rough but the main gameplay window is not affected.

Have the list just in case

Glad to see avowed on the Xbox list

They will unironically show “Springtime for Hitler”, aren’t they?
