Hello everyone.

I apologize for my general absence these past few weeks. Truth is, I have been doing a move and it started fairly rough, but the dust is settling. Soon, I will be back with more @nevermoreniche.bsky.social articles and more streams! Thank you. 😊

Congrats to @blanksword.bsky.social for passing the funding goal. I made a 3D Blank to celebrate

3D Blank from the game Blanksword, standing on a disk in a void. He is holding a sword. There's a tired, concerned look on his face.

As an update, I have been feeling better. Tomorrow I'll do a COVID test anyway, just to be sure.

Chiitan loves all transgender people.
I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.
Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like.
love you all 🤍

#DemoReview: Athanasia, by dev @momentumgamesllc.bsky.social and publisher @neondoctrine.games is just the survival dinosaur horror games fans of #DinoCrisis need. While there are a few funny bugs (dinos trapped in walls!), the gameplay will keep you on your toes!

In addition to those two games (which are great!) I also finally, finally played No One Lives Under the Lighthouse by @marevocollectiv.bsky.social -- nice slow burn horror piece, though I struggled with some navigational issues. Would love to return to it to get more secrets!

Oh, good! I was wondering what your opinion would be. I still need to play myself

Gonna postpone Hyper Light Drifter to tomorrow, due to delays. Sorry everyone!

NoirMouse | Low-Poly Vtuber & Game Journalist @noirmouse.bsky.social · Aug 19

Yeah, I can see why your game is a cult classic! I'm sure you get this often, but the cinematics and art are gorgeous. It took a bit to get used to the dash following the cursor as opposed to where the Drifter is facing, but I'm really enjoying it so far! Will probably continue on Wednesday. 🙂

just in case anyone hasnt said this you can be against censorship while also having boundaries. all those people that make you uncomfortable, you are more than welcome to not want to be around them but you should still advocate for their right to create those things that make you uncomfortable.

Going to finally be playing the indie cult classic HYPER LIGHT DRIFTER by @heartmachine.bsky.social tonight on Twitch, a game I've heard so much about but barely know anything of! In our continuation of checking out #IndieCross titles.
