ive veeb thinking about writing blog posts about things im thinking about. does ko-fi have support for longer blog posts? i'd want to upload it to my own place, but crossposting seems smart too. i'd consider patreon later, which has a post function that i know would work well for what im thinking

When a beautiful man gains weight and body hair many of you are saying “twink death”…Meanwhile I am saying “Yay”, “Yippee!” and things of this nature.

its annoying how fun writing is when i have any amount of mental clarity. it is impossible for me to ever grt to the point that words can actually flow out without the excrutiating, constant editing of everything i write because i cant fathom that a work doesnt have to be perfect on the first try.

i have one submission this event. excited to be in Atlanta!
a screenshot of the GDQ submission site. text reads:
"claws"

"Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines"
"Platform: PC"
"Genre: speedrun"
"Description:
Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines is an intensely charming 2D platformer released just over 2 years ago. Across 6 worlds, dynamic dogs Pablo and Luna travel dimensions to save the multiverse from Vyr. The game's killer soundtrack, charming flash-inspired pixel art, expressive movement systems, and stand-out level designs combine to create one of the most fun 2D platformers to run. With Pablo and Luna's unique movement kits and a myriad of fun power-ups through the run, it front-to-back makes an excellent viewing experience."

"Category Description
All Main Stages (0:43:00)
All Main Stages is a level-rush-style category that is the optimal version of this game's speedrun. How is AMS different to Any%? Any% requires story progression, which cuts out levels, requires collectibles that slow down movement, and makes us beat the boring bosses. In the past, the length of this run was the main negative feedback of AMS. I've dabbled with ways to shorten the category, but unfortunately another category sacrifices too much of the game for me to consider. Now, I've cut over 7 minutes off my PB, optimizing every level played *quite* significantly (at the moment I have 19/22 IL WRs for this category). I still believe there are a handful of minutes to shave, which I'm aiming to do before AGDQ. I have put significant work into making this run worth accepting, and hope that it finally is! (Note: This estimate is safe, even if it seems close to my current PB.)"

once systems like this get implemented, it takes significantly more effort to get them removed. the momentum needs to start faster and hit harder. don't wait until tomorrow. cancel nitro and tell them why you did it, too!

direct was alright, was kinda bored by a lot that got announced lol. Ravenous looks fine, but I didn't like Dread much. some of switch 2 editions were lowkey embarassing (pikmin side eye). highlight was definitely World Beyond, i am MAD excited. this game's gonna be incredible lol

i think the OOT remakes looks ugly in a uniquely uncanny way, and probably won't play much better than the original anyways. i did not watch the direct because i do not care about this game at all

i feel like some days i'm not brave enough to attempt to stream, because if it fails (which is measured without metric), i won't be able to look at the fact that i tried and be satisfied enough with that alone - suffice to say today i am very frustrated

the thing about indie games is that if someone designs one single game I love, I’ll get whatever they make for the rest of their lives and pretty much always have a good time. people are so attached to ip but imo you really gotta know the creators.
