For all the Musk refugees, an intro:

* I run @littlebatgames.bsky.social, where we made Vampire Therapist
* I'm a voice actor (Hades 2, Duck Detective, lots more) and a writer (Vampire Therapist)
* I used to do DC technology policy communications stuff
* I'm a nerdpunk. Nerdlibertarians hate me.

The literature wasn't exactly subtle on industrialization, but I'm sure they read their hand-me-down Tolkien about as honestly as they read their hand-me-down Bibles.

Unf, User, you the best sex haver EVER. You don't need to be sexually compatible with anyone ever, because you are so perfect. Oh fuck, give me all your business ideas! I cream all over my servers for you, sex god!!

A man who has spent his whole life inflating his value really is the perfect man for this job. ✨

I never yelled at a screen so much! 😅

Jim and Andy: The Great Beyond on Netflix. Seeing the complete ego death of Jim Carrey was pretty harrowing!

Do it! Bring the family, and make it a one way ticket -- we remember the fascists here! 😅

Psh well, we're in the 20s again in all the worst ways, so your vibe should be ascendant. :)

Thank you for boosting my game! And yeah, there is a particular demographic that does find it *terrifying*. 😅

Cyrus Nemati @ahoymehearties.bsky.social · 6d

While I'm struggling to finish the trailer for my next game, it's nice to see people still discovering Vampire Therapist's odd charms. :)

If you've played and haven't reviewed on Steam, please do so -- it helps us out a ton!

It's officially spooky season, but what if you want a little guidance to ease you into it? Like a therapist, maybe. Or a therapist who happens to bring their own holiday season flair by coincidentally being a vampire. But where in the indie game could we find something like a vampire therapist?

I am a huge fan of all things horror, from brooding and creepy to extreme gore that borders on parody, but sometimes during Halloween month, you have to ea

Oooh, thank you playing and writing about Vampire Therapist! 🥰 We can be a little ultra-niche sometimes!

Cyrus Nemati @ahoymehearties.bsky.social · 7d

Oh, absolutely. Why would they? Sam Altman can do it!

But I think it's an interesting Trojan horse to prevent the complete gutting of the liberal arts. I mean, ideally they learn shame, but I don't know where that's going to come from.

In the US, the classics were successfully poised in Texas as a "white civilization" bulwark against critical race theory, so y'all can use that one!

I wish more people would! I'm shocked when I see much higher engagement there, even if you don't include the bots. Inertia really is the most powerful force on earth!

Cyrus Nemati @ahoymehearties.bsky.social · 9d

I searched for "white power" on X (don't call it Twitter — it's not Twitter), and damn. I've witnessed forum Nazis, Reddit Nazis, Gab Nazis, historical Nazis, etc. and by far, the X Nazis are far and away the stupidest I've ever seen.

Hot tip: invest in velcro shoe companies. It's bad out there.

Only a few hours left to get Vampire Therapist and DLC are 35% off! If you're still on the fence, an educated fascist bootlicker wrote a 3200-word essay about why they hated it, and it's the biggest compliment I've ever received.

The funny thing is that they actually have a famous Martin Luther and he's not listed there! I guess they just like Germans who have complicated relationships with God.

So in the History section are:

* Lots of Greek mythology
* Three "medieval" buildings (looks more 18th century to me)
* Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Someone found my failed video series! 😅

Cyrus Nemati @ahoymehearties.bsky.social · 10d

It's not a very gamer-y game! Most of the fans are authors themselves, for what it's worth (to me, a lot).

It's on sale for the next couple of days. :)
