Watching what I thought was a "pretty good" game get transformed into A Cultural Object has been disheartening.
So I have some thoughts on glitz, glamour, and respectability...

UPDATE: Blythe is now home and safe! Thank you all so, so deeply for saving his life.
As of now, we only have to worry about paying off a Care Credit line and other misc. costs (like gas for multiple vet trips, his pain meds, more food, etc).
Anything helps. Thank you!

I am 100% pro Larian doing whatever pervert shit it wants and I can’t wait for another game where you can like, fuck a squid or whatever, but it really does further drive home the two-tier system of enforcement on storefronts. Bg3 contains basically everything small games get banned for

There's an extended video on Benedikt Pleyer's YT channel (Nomadic Nostoc) where he talks a bit more about them in context of their local ecology that's worth watching.
The natural world is filled with so many delightful surprises, at all scales.
I hope these sea fireflies brighten your day. 🧪🌊

Benedikt Pleyer/Nomadic Nostoc filmed these tiny ostracods collected from the beach of a Japanese island.
Vargula hilgendorfii live in marine sand & emit a mix of luciferase & luciferin that lights up to deter predators.
The same chemicals produce firefly glow.

Okay, I'll make a thread of 50 indie games which I'll add to over the week, staring with.
1. Carimara
Play as a little goblin creature summoned by a witch to investigate what's haunting her cottage, it's a creepy bite-size mystery akin to the Frog Detective games, and has gorgeous visuals.

I'm hoping for more articles on this situation, because we cannot stay quiet: www.gamesradar.com/games/simula...
Publisher says Valve rejected complaint about hateful Steam review: "'Has Muslims, not recommended' is literal racism, so there should be no conversation needed"

at a certain level of any creative or intellectual collaborative job the main task is sin-eater: to fix what you can and get blamed for what you can’t, secretly knowing how much worse it would have been if you hadn’t done what you did.
