A MASSIVE thanks to the over 500 folks who signed up during our first month. We have loads of terrific coverage hitting noclip_2 this month including Next Fest recommendations, more underground dev highlights and some spooky patron-exclusive let's plays.

Thank to you so much to the community of people rallying around our coverage of outstanding, lesser covered games. And deep previews of exciting new ones.

We still need more support. Come be part of our growing community at patreon.com/noclip2

MANY ARE UPSET THAT I THINK MY REELECTION IS LOCKED UP

Why @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @chucktingle.bsky.social et al won't is clear: they THINK their reelection is locked up. They know the Americans who care don't have another option. And the second level leadership in the party is doing what they did with Biden: pretending nothing is wrong!

Please donate to Western Alaska disaster relief efforts to support the response to Typhoon Halong. I won't overexplain how displacement, underfunding and marginalization of Indigenous Peoples have devastated communities. But know this: Our Alaska Native friends and family need us to show up.

Constantly asking myself “does this *really* need french horns?” and constantly deciding yes

The thing about me is that if you hand me a song and say “remix this however you want” I am absolutely going to do some ridiculously lush orchestral nonsense. It cannot be helped

Thank you so much for your kind words in these trying times

Megan Carnes @magmacranes.bsky.social · 1d

I am very grateful for art! It’s rad that people take the time and effort to make things in order to help make other people’s lives better! If you are a person who makes games or films or writes or makes music or any other thing this includes you, please do not forget this

I’ve been under an unbelievable amount of pressure lately, just several things all coming together to make my life very stressful. But I saw a couple of movies in theater this weekend, and still have been carving out time for Hades 2, and it’s wild how much more bearable this makes things

And that’s weird to me. Why is it okay for you to say opinions but not for people to say opinions back

One thing I’ve noticed happening is something like this

Person A: here is a strong negative opinion about (let’s say parmesan cheese)

Person B: I think that opinion is wack because reasons

Person A: wow you can’t express ANYTHING or the parmesan cheese fandom will be at your throat 🙄

It doesn't take much for me to reach this state btw. The only requirement is that the weather is not hot

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand

I'll go first: Six page commercial lease.
