He/Him Artist, Furry, Professional Rat-Dog I post mostly art and about the RPGs I play. I might work on an RPG, sometimes, but I don't really talk about it. Other reviews for everything else I play are on my backloggd: backloggd.com/u/Rodenbeard

A note to devs: your horror game stops being scary when you put evil red text on the screen that's shouting YOURE LOOKING FOR YOUR DEAD SON, AREN'T YOU, THAT'S WHAT THE METAPHOR IS at me Nevermind the lack of tension created by having to look up a walkthrough like four times in the first half hour

Finally got around to what I've often seen called "the best furry VN" and a host of other laudable titles, Echo, and like, wow. I'm glad I experienced some good dramatic furry art before this, cause that shit was so fucking awful I may have given up on the quest if it was my first exposure

Here are the two characters in bunny outfits, commissioned by Meshuvel.(bsky.app/profile/mesh...) The Brown Hyena boy and the Dhole boy work as office workers during the day, but at night, they transform into another persona. My first time drawing a male bunny was a bit thrilling.🤩

Was too busy listening to it last night (and crying about the new manga volume) but finally, finally, after months of waiting, the collection is complete... I bought this, played "A Dream of Sepia" and immediately cried, A+ stuff

This is Vanilla after having completely shed the negative emotions of vengeance, sorrow, and wrath that had once entangled her. There are no burning, distorted gazes or tears here. She is brimming with the confidence and dignity that make her who she is.🤩

RPG #82 - Tales of the Abyss Tales of's finest hour. For a long time I considered Symphonia the definitive Tales, the one I'd tell people to play if they were only gonna play one... But this takes the cake. Might be my third favourite cast in any RPG ever, and so solid across the board otherwise.

Love to log on and see someone writing a 40 million word essay about how the "J" in "JRPG" is a sign of racism/xenophobia/deliberate "othering" and "orientalist disrespect/bias" followed of course by making an example of everyone telling you to calm down like "THIS IS THE MONSTER IM TALKING ABOUT"

Boyfriend had been suggesting I finally get into the Castlevania games, and I'm glad I decided to bite the bullet- first game in ages (since Super GnG) to give me such satisfaction out of learning the challenges/quirks 👍 I can reliably run ~half of it so far, hopefully the full clear is coming...

Repeating a "we're fucked" narrative is the fastest way to learned helplessness. I know this intimately, having sat in the cage myself for two years. But while we don't have control over our stressors, we have control over our *reactions* to the stressors. Our thoughts, emotions, THAT,we can control

RPG #81 - Mythic Mire For such a short game (~4 hours) it managed to be such a joy-sucking slog that it took me a good 3 weeks to get through it... I can usually polish off a 20-30 hour RPG in half that time, for god's sake. Such a unique audiovisual aesthetic... A shame.

It's been a while since I drew some proper pixel art, so here's a nerd 🤓🐀 --- #art #pixelart #furry #furryart
Pixel art of portrait of Arma, an anthro rat. She's wearing glasses, a hat with pins and a green sweater over a shirt.

She got big nerd energy, you can probably bully her and get all her lunch money...

RPG #80 - Mother 3 Gotta be the biggest single-installment glow up in history. I make no secret of my dislike for Earthbound, but Mother 3 is a damn, DAMN fine title. Not quite perfect, but a beautiful and meaningful experience from beginning to end. An RPG everyone should play.

There is literally no way as of 2026 to be pro-AI and not be a piece of shit, as it turns out. If you are, you're just objectively wrong at this point. Full stop. Supporting literal Captain Planet Villains and moustache twirling pastiches of the most evil characters you could possibly think of

Honestly, after how crushingly dog-ass Earthbound was it is kind of shocking how excellent Mother 3 has been thus far... From the type of game I dreaded having to finish to something I have been almost unable to put down, and nearly half-cleared in a single weekend thus far.

RPG #79 - .Hack//Infection Finally, the non-furry CC2 RPG... One that commits hard to its "gimmick" and takes both the positives and negatives with it. Unique though, even now, and one that has me interested in what the rest of the .Hack setting has in store.

Paper Mario: Star Nova is very very cute so far. Like if the original PM had a Majora's Mask esque sequel on the N64- reused assets, shorter, moodier, but just more of the meat you want. Wish I had more time to play it today, if I didn't have work tomorrow I feel like I'd be up all night running it
