Hey everyone.
I’d never normally do this, and by god I better not have to ever do it again.
But I’m actually worried about making rent this week and next and wanted to post my old Ko-fi here in case anyone has a spare buck they can chuck my way.
No pressure though ❤️

Writing this made me start wondering if I should just make a blog where I (infrequently) dump this kind of thing rather than yakking up a multi-post thread onto Bluesky every couple of months like a hairball. Any interest in something like that?
People tend to ask me a lot about Your Holy & Virtuous Heretic's art style, and how I came up with it, which always surprised me. So here's a quick thread about it, riffing on these three points, because it pretty much comes down to this. 1/11

Crucially, the game is minimalist in very specific ways that, to be frank, let me cut corners. I suck at picking colours, so there's a hard limit of 4 colours per environment texture. For some, a palette this restrictive would make picking colours harder, but I find this much easier. 5/11

Probably The Caligula Effect: Overdose.
Came at a time where I was craving JRPG comfort. It's mechanically competent, I see the vision, but in terms of aesthetics and narrative design it is a disaster. Nothing about this game feels like it's working quite right.

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?
(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

I am really ruthless with tabs. There's a sense of anxiety that sets in whenever I have more than 6, typically I keep around 2-3. I start dumping any stanky old tabs into bookmarks or a big markdown file full of links when I feel I have too many.
it is not possible to have fewer than 30 you’re all full of horse shit I am being lied to and gaslit
How many browsing tabs do you typically have open?*
1: 6%
2-5: 54%
6-10: 14%
11-20: 8%
21-30: 2%
