PLEASE SHARE! I am raising funds for a dear friend and member of the literary as well as arts communities.

$5 and $10 goes a long way! Reshares even further! We are just $800 from our goal and my hope is bluesky can take us the rest of the way. 💛💛💛

"I don’t think you’ll be able to get this through customs
with the forest you gathered screeching so loud"

I finished my first playthrough of Silent Hill 2 Remake and why did the ending screen have to show me that I checked the map 1755 times?! My map checking habits are between me and God 😭

Does anyone have favourite video games-related podcasts they’d recommend? 👀 I want to listen to people’s cultural commentary on games - ideally horror.

The way I experienced Final Fantasy 7 growing up was strangely by playing and watching all the spin-off content (Dirge of Cerberus, Crisis Core, Advent Children) but never FF7 itself

Silent Hill 2 Remake has some of the best audio design I’ve ever experienced so I’m always wearing my headphones, but it also makes it so much scarier 😭

If you are curious about game narrative and narrative design, one of the all time best resources available is Emily Short's blog: emshort.blog

LOOK! LOOK AT MY BEAUTIFUL FRIEND @suntorya.bsky.social! 😍💜

And check out Augur's Murmurstations podcast, hosted by the inimitable @sonj.bsky.social! ✨️

Many conversations and many spreadsheets

I wasn’t gonna play the FF7 remakes (even as a big Final Fantasy fan) but the promise of more Zack Fair content and Aerith and Cloud’s VAs giving award-winning performances is 👀 intriguing me

the cryptid energy of signing up for bluesky then immediately vanishing from it (it’s me sorry, expect more cryptid sightings soon ✌️😔✌️)
