matara @mataramg.itch.io · 11hi find it helpful to occasionally experience a piece of media that's within my general range of preferences, but which sucks ferociously. sometimes think i have None Taste, as in i like just about everything i watch, read, or play. it's good to check that i can still discern Dogshit when i see it. 2140

matara @mataramg.itch.io · 17hwhen a new Nightmind video comes out abt something i haven't actually seen yet, it's always slightly intimidating and takes me a while to find time to watch it, because it means i am signing up not just for the NM video, but also for the playlist of this other series. 😂 240

matara @mataramg.itch.io · 30/09/2026it's important to give the heroes a home. it's also important to give that home a character sheet, so that the players can build it up, make it cute, make it their own. and so that you can attack it. make them fret over it. make them roll dice about it. 2184
