Starting up Maze Mice (by @trampolinetales.com) for the very first time! I'm checking this out since it's our next game for @tvgp.bsky.social's We Roguelike It!

Come hang out with me in the maze over at twitch.tv/JanstenPlays

a cartoony awoken titan scratching her head in front of a roaring flame. she’s scratching her head and saying “i think we’re gonna have to ignite this guy, cheese.” her ghost is wearing that little cardboard googly eye bat shell and has a little cheese icon floating over his head, and he says “damn.”

a titan who may or may not be named alexis and a ghost that’s definitely named cheese

So excited (and nervous) to send our game-finder into the world.

If you want a better way to find amazing games that rewards experts and is in the hands of players, this is our shot.

Thank you to the 1000's backers and supporters.This is just the beginning.

After seeing Challengers last year, I edited that one track from its score to this part of The End of Evangelion and it was neat how closely it matched.

2.1 Lenses, Not Boxes I wondered whether this section was necessary, but games discourse seems to repeatedly find itself adrift in questions of whether _ counts as a _. We have seen the question repeatedly: Do games count as art? Do games without goals count as games? Is The Sims a game? Are hypertexts interactive fiction? Are Twine pieces literature? In fairness to the researchers cited here, all of whom I respect immensely, many of these sources pose or imply the question rhetorically. Still, the necessity of such a framing frustrates me. "Is _ a _?" is, in my opinion, a fruitless question. The question can never be answered to anyone's satisfaction, and it often serves as either a provocation to espouse politics or as a cover to institute gatekeeping. Its agenda is usually opaque to onlookers and bewildering to those trying to advance the field from across disciplines. We should be thinking in lenses, not boxes. It is always more interesting to ask "If we think of _ through the lens of _, what do we learn?" We know it is more interesting to ask "What do we learn by considering Tom Stoppard through the lens of poststructuralism?" than to ask "Is Stoppard's work poststructuralist?" And while some works may be more or less fruitful when examined through different lenses, sometimes the most unlikely pairings of lenses and objects are the most rewarding. Certainly any of the questions above would be much better served by reframing them in this way.

Wow we’re having “games are art” discourse again! Just gonna leave this here.

From my dissertation:

I highly recommend this newsletter! I look forward to each one and devour it as soon as I can. It’s a great peek into what’s going on in the emulation (and related) scene, often with great interviews!

I love this so much (especially the cat’s little adorable face)!

It’s #RandomGameSaturday! I grabbed the game right under the last one I posted and this time it’s the wonderful Death’s Door! 😍☂️

A comic. Emma is talking to Goose at the kitchen table. Emma says, “hey goosele, wanna go to the playground?” She replies, “can Baby Leah come” a close up on Emma, looking away. “Ah,” she says, “Baby Leah.” A close up on the doll in Goose’s arms — a baby doll with messy pigtails and an open mouth. It has 2 large eyes, one of which is stuck half-open. Goose says, “she has brown hair and eyes, just like you mommy.” Emma, visibly distraught, says, “yeah ok. get your shoes on.”

July was a pretty good month for books! 🎉

I tried looking at some online pornography the other night.
OK it was Noon, but still.
This window pops up, says "To access this webpage, please scan your face to verify your age." So I do, and it says "here's a free premium account. You look like you really need one, buddy!"
No respect....

the best thing you can do to support indie devs is leaving a Steam review.

the second best is oh my god please stop asking for DLC? especially on the DAY THE GAME COMES OUT??? imagine eating a delicious dinner that took all day to make and immediately saying "and what's for breakfast"???????
