Malys is probably the only game I ever played at length where I never turned the music volume down. Well deserved, @belindacoomes.bsky.social and @actualmontaigne.bsky.social, and thank you so much for your work on our little game. Very proud right now. ❤️

Me: oh wow, this shop has everything my heart desires!

Spooky shopkeeper: yes, I will warn you... every item comes with a price.

Me: yes, I know how shops work

Spooky Shopkeeper: The price may be more than you expect to pay.

Me: Yes, I know how US taxes work, too.

Shopkeeper, increasingly exasperated: I'm trying to tell you that I'm evil and offering these wares with no regard for the harm they will do!

Steam Fall sale is ON! Too brain tired after Nighthawks launch to do a proper marketing for this right now. In the meantime, I will have blind faith that public desire for our games transcendes the need for me to tell everyone to buy them. There. Nailed it. store.steampowered.com/developer/Wa...

I spilled half a bag of cat food on the floor. My cat, who hasn’t finished her provided food today, scrambled to consume as many pieces as she could. She then proceeded to sit on the remaining mound on the floor like some sort of cat Smaug.

Cannot recommend this highly enough. What if Phoenix Wright was cyberpunk and made no pretenses at all about being kid-friendly. Fantastically well written so far. There's a big demo that basically acts as a pilot episode, and if you're not sold after the finale, then nothing will convince you.

Every anti-trans attack is a repeat of the homophobic attacks of the 1960s,70,80s. Every transphobe is a bigot. I have also yet to see a transphobe who is not also racist. The media's coverage of trans hate has been used to make all kinds of bigotry acceptable

Star Wars: Zero Company might just be the best Star Wars game in its subgenre since Knights of the Old Republic. What KotOR was to the Skywalker Saga films, Zero Company is to the "A Star Wars Story" films, I'd say. An elevation and redemption of the form at a time when the films seem lost.

A fantastic, ENORMOUS game. I also recommend the A New Home DLC but it picks up exactly where the main game ends, so you probably won't need it until you're like 60+ hours deep.

The lighting glow-up was one of the most important changes TNG made for season 3, IMO. The difference was night and day.
Two shots of Picard, one from season 1, the other from season 3 (or possibly season 4, I forget).

The original Star Trek TNG cinematographer, Edward R. Brown, retired after season 2 and was replaced by Marvin Rush.

I'm only a few hours into this one, but yeah, this feels like something carved out of the finest, strongest parts of Vampire Bloodlines, with the cracks filled in with a little bit of Fallen London lacquer. What if Bloodlines was 100% about the cool weird night people and investigations.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows a brain. The brain is saying "I'm 30 and YOUNG! I only recently fully developed!"
The second panel shows a heart. The heart says "I hear ya! I can keep going for DECADES more!"
The third panel shows a spine's face. It weakly says, "I am old".
We zoom out and the spine is using a walker. It continues, "so very old".

Not sure if people know Wakefield was trying to sell a competing measles vaccine when he made up his fraudulent study about the MMR. It was only after that failed (because he is a complete fraud) that he started grifting off opposing all vaccines. It’s all just a grift. Antivaxxers are their marks.

Discworld QOTD, from Wyrd Sisters
Someone has to do it. It's all very well calling for eye of newt, but do you mean Common, Spotted or Great Crested? Which eye, anyway? Will tapioca do just as well? If we substitute egg white will the spell a) work b) fail or c) melt the bottom out of the cauldron? Goodie Whemper's curiosity about such things was huge and insatiable*.

* Nearly insatiable. It was probably satiated in her last flight to test whether a broomstick could survive having its bristles pulled out one by one in mid-air. According to the small black raven she had trained as a flight recorder, the answer was almost certainly no.
