Mediocre Photographer, excellent shitposter.

I work in games, but you better be cool about it.

I love to wake up and open palm slam the social media icon on my jumbo iPad to fire off a post like "Yucky stuff in my 'art'? No thx!!" before swearing upon God and country that I believe in the innate personhood of the Mastercard corporation

This is literally the first thing you see in Horses after the menu btw.

I wonder if this was included in the Play Through that [notable industry figure] watched and is basing his nuclear take on

Cleaning up my old skeets so I can Professional Post on here more often, and have been reminded of the era when I got absolutely blitzed and live posted my way through episodes of MILF Manor

Instead of posting a context-less wrap up, maybe we all just drop our top album and why we liked it instead. You know, so it's interesting to other people?

I was still on AG Cook's Britpop- a massive triple album on the past, present, and future of hyperpop featuring inventive synth patches

There's a follow up to legendary indie Long Live the Queen and I haven't seen a single peep about it.

Check it out!

I think 2026 has to be a back to basics year where I explicitly skip dreck and only engage with weird and experimental art.

If you don't show up for the things you want then you don't get to have those things.

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

I've been reading a lot of cromulent genre fiction and I can see how people get addicted to reading garbage as a hobby.

Though from there it's only a quick hop to the Wendig and Gaiman-type "ooh I'm so smart because I READ" trap.

You can tell the Pokemon Z-A team played Yakuza by how much of the game's runtime is spent fighting people in alleys.

Is there some kind of masterlist somewhere for all of the reader-supported games outlets out there?

Would people be into more weird game recommendations on the timeline, or should I do that somewhere else?

Yesterday was a crazy day for sicko games. Demonschool came out (and is great), but also Birdcage (the best Radiant Silvergun-like since Radiant Silvergun), and Sektori -- the Tetris Effect of Geometry Wars.

I had forgotten about the TTRPG Cain until just recently which means I also forgot how insane the line "I am worthy of the Ark and I hope to God you can't swim" is.
