You continue to have elite taste. Waiting for that rec drop (I’ve seen The Great!!!)

Honestly had the exact same experience. Watched it when it aired, read fic, obsessed. Rewatched in 2023 and was SHOCKED at how gay it was. About to do a second rewatch!

What program did you use to set up this organizer?

"to democratize art is not every person having a cute drawing made in seconds, to democratize art is every person having time and health to learn and make art if they chose to, and mainly to have the means to think and relate introspectively with art."

Look… some things just go together. When Hannibal was cancelled in 2015** I had people reach out to me to check if I was okay (I wasn’t).

also…this is just a guess but were you also into Hannibal

Ah still v brave though! And yeah my ao3 username will be sealed in a letter to be read after my death bequeathing a curated collection of bookmarks and post-canon fic.

I’m new to bluesky but am now blessed with this knowledge. Also as a much more secretive fanfic author…I’m applauding. Nerves of steel.

Find out more below, & wishlist us today. Míle baochas 🙇‍♀️

I already knew you had excellent taste from your IWTV-posting but BG3 too?!

Mass Effect was foundational for me too. When ME2 was released I came home for a long weekend and did nothing but play. Didn't sleep, barely ate. Amazing time.

Have you played Beyond Two Souls?

If you’ve not played Disco Elysium before you’re in for a ride! What are some of your favorite branching games?

There hasn't been a single game in my life where I've thought, "Man I wish could ask this NPC absolutely anything I want and they'd respond."

Even if I had, it'd be novel for about 2 minutes.

I'll take 50 handcrafted lines from an actual writer than 1 million from a glorified chat bot any day.

ALERT: TND folks making cool and creative things!!!

Andddd I said 3 games before I remembered one of my favorite examples—The Stanley Parable. Choices in one round of the game affecting choices & outcomes in the next (The Broom Closet made me laugh out loud). Such an incredible meta game.

Telltale’s The Walking Dead does a great job of making more limited player choice (compared to more sprawling RPGs) still feel impactful by having your choices influence relationships & more than plot.

One (of many) reasons BG3 stands out is for rewarding players who go down the road less-traveled. A combo of unusual actions, choices, and dialogue can trigger unique reactions from in-world characters. Makes the game feel more lifelike & those moments are truly special.

3 games—Disco shines for rewarding players who make what seem like “bad choices” or “bad rolls” with funny, sad, and surprising outcomes. (In what other game can you punch a kid and actually earn his respect?) You think a choice is going to go one way and, often, Disco subverts your expectations.

✨✨✨✨Good wishes!✨✨✨✨

They did it. They finally invented an actual torment nexus

Violent retribution? Blood? On one's name? Sounds like my kind of game. Looking forward to playing this upon release.

HI! Just saw your Pajamas GDC talk. Great talk and LOVE your cosplay!
