At the 12 Pins Press booth (A25-26) I got to meet with @yanahn.bsky.social, @ratwave.uk, and @aethercorpgames.bsky.social selling a collection of really cool zines.

Think I should go to bed. Just spent too long trying to work out where to charge my glasses. They're just normal glasses.

+IWTPG! Update+
85% of the games that were listed on Tiny Table Index have now been listed on iwanttoplay.games — the remaining 60'ish are uploaded but need images so not yet live, I'll be doing that when I get the chance. Was a far more manual process than I'd hoped but almost done now 😀

And I'm REALLY VERY MUCH looking forward to seeing this. I don't have a teen-era story to add to it, I just am. Although I did spend a large part of a night verrry closely watching a slug once. I'm not sure that counts.

I was directly inspired by the world building of #HollowKnight & pitched this book in 2019, so it's been in development as long as #Silksong!
Go buy my first book! It's good!

In my teens I also watched a lot of X-Files, Twin Peaks, Dark Skies, etc and if I wasn't currently on a non-essential spending embargo I'd be all-in on this one.

When I was a teen I had a No Fear poster of a freeballing climber—y'know, when they're on a cliff face with no ropes, pretty sure that's the right term anyway—on my wall. But I did, I did fear. No poster will tell me what to do.
