With the cost of games from the big developers constantly increasing while not actually providing any more value, and the increasing reliance on using LLMs to develop them, I think it's honestly just becoming a no-brainer for me to just play games from indie developers or my backlog at this point.

Want some queer horror this October? There's a bundle for that over on itchio with ebooks, visual novels, and narrative games! A plethora of projects for $10! BE NOT AFRAID, my horror novella feat. deadly angels is included alongside so many amazing stories so check it out! itch.io/b/3876/we-ha...

Text reads: $10 itch dot i o. We have always been in the darkness. 37 Horror e-books, visual novels, & narrative games. Queer character, themes, and/or authors. Darkness is familiar, to people like us. Those who told themselves they own the daylight may have done their best to deny we exist...

Image of dark forest that fades from deep blue to blood red containing shadowy figures towards the bottom with glowing eyes. Text colors range from red at top, to gold, to white on the lower half. The words 'We' and 'Queer' are in rainbow.

an illustrated image for BE NOT AFRAID by S. Jean. It features Seth from the shoulders up as he peers over his shoulder with the bloodied lead pipe resting across his shoulder. He has a coy smile on his lips. He has white hair, pale skin, and wing tattoos across his bare shoulders. He also has vibrant purple eyes.

We are aware that Steam has classified Nighthawks as an adult game and has excluded it from searches (and delisted it entirely in certain countries). We are working on it. Valve is under the impression that this game is way sexier than it actually is.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"

Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

Fun fact: "Reviewing an AI made translation" is more work for translators than just translating it themselves, because AI translations do not pass the sniff test beyond the most superficial. It's a loophole companies use as an excuse to underpay translators, and nothing else.

As a warning, the PC version of Marvel Tokon is still fucked. The performance is definitely better than the beta, but far from optimal. It still will not run on Linux due to the aggressive anti-cheat, still requires a PSN account to play, and online can be horrendous if you don’t disable crossplay.

Kamaitachi no Yoru is simply one of the most important Japanese games in history, period. In the historical trajectory of novel games, if Otogirisou, Chunsoft's previous gane, is Pac-Land, this is Super Mario Brothers. It is that foundational in the storytelling and design paradigms it codified.

Melissa! 🔜 Eclipse/HOLIDAY HAVOC @melissa.guiltygear.gay · 02/08/2026

Here's my writeup on the new #MeltyBlood Twi-Lumina gameplay teaser!! Lots of new system mechanics and rebalancings. I think this is an interesting direction even if it's blatantly SF6 inspired, and a lot healthier than Moon Gauge stuff.

Okay so there's the new meter gauge
It seems to basically be a burnout gauge that replaces the moon gauge. You want yours to be lower. Looks like when capped the gauge breaks and you can't seem to spend more until it's back empty again. Everyone starts with 9, when you lose a round MAX is enabled and you get two extra stars. Looks like it either has its own button assigned or is just a macro, they just say it's on L1 by default.

Goes up when
Being hit by certain attacks, like EX Moves give one, Arc Drives give two
You spend it on the new moon skill replacements
Blocking certain attacks immediately give one
Blocking in general seems to slowly fill it up. Generally half portions are most noticeable but it can be pretty subtle
By one when getting hit by Shield BC

Goes down
During a combo you can remove up to four, signified by the symbol on the combo counter.
By one when landing Shield BC followup.
By one when landing an EX move
By two when landing an Arc Drive. None if blocked.
EX Shield removes one
Heat removes "half" a portion immediately, and slowly removes one, seems like half a guage per 25%?

New Moon Skill things cost meter as well, seems like 10% minimum, maybe more, on top of additional lumina gauge. They seem really good.

Max Mode seems to occur when players lose a round, seems to function similarly to C Moon Max Mode but with a cooldown. You auto enter max when at 200 bar while the cooldown is done. Looks like arc drives leave you with 200 meter as well. Looks like ex moves cost SUBSTANTIALLY less in MAX mode, but you can also lose max mode meter by getting hit.

Looks like they added a new modern control scheme too, called "Act", standard will be "Duel". Act gives you bbtag dashing, and you have smart steer-esque auto combos based on the button you hit.

It looks like skills should transfer over just fine, it's just that the system mechanics have been changed. I'd say it's like the difference between BlazBlue Continuum Shift and Chrono Phantasma.
