frankly insane that 20-ish years ago some devs in japan said "how do we adapt mystery dungeon for pokemon," someone said "why don't we have the player be a pokemon," and as a direct result i now wear a collar and have about 5 online friends that identify as the mythical pokemon mew

I still need to acquire about 400-500 dollars to complete new computer build. As such, I am REOPENING Deltarune Icons! These will be $30 with an optional tip. I may not be able to get to them right away, as my pc is dying. Examples can be found on my profile/retweets.

**Technically** you can play my game alongside other demos! Findings is a cozy idle desktop game with a magical spin. You summon and fuse magical creatures to help a witch complete her grimoire. There's no squirrels or moogles (yet), but lots more to come in the full release!

Ah! I actually looked that one over but... there's -really- not a lot for an idle game to "do" on stream, if that makes sense. (I still pointed a couple people I know at it.)

It's about 40-some more games to get through over the next few days, so I'm wary, but curious. What's on your mind?

DID YOU KNOW there's a scam going around where if you click on a link to a stream where a weird moogle-sqrl creature is playing video game demos, you may accidentally have a good time? Scientists are baffled, but should probably also tune in because tonight IS the second night of NextFest. 9:30 PM.

Good. I should get back into that.

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

Matt Burgess (WIRED) @mattburgess1.bsky.social · 2d

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

Well, here it is. Six nights or so of whatever cool lookin' Steam demos I could pick out of the Next Fest pile. I managed around 50-60 big shiny diamonds in the rough and we're gonna try to get through ten per night, so be ready to stay up 'til dawn FOREVER. 9:30 PM Eastern we kick this off.

Please name and shame, I've been digging around hard and it's hard to tell sometimes. I wish there was a big "USED AI, DIDN'T DECLARE" button that could drop a game into a pit immediately. "Ignore" feels so impersonal compared to what I want.

Steam Next Fest -is- coming up, folks!
Just for the heck of it, here's a thread for previews of what I've grabbed before the fest even starts.
Call it a demo of the demos.
Or don't, I'm not your mom.
I'm your Aunt, and here's some of what I'm gonna be playing this week on the Twitch channel:

....and yeah, we'll have Bubsy 4D, we'll have Marvel Cosmic Invasion, we'll have Fantasy Maiden Wars... but this has been ten demos that caught MY eye this pre-Next Fest and hopefully now some of 'em have yours.
I've been a weird talking cartoon sqrlmog. Play video games or die. Thanks for reading.

SKATE STORY

Tony Hawk's existential nightmare. A glass man skateboards his way to the moon so he can eat it. This is like the exact polar opposite of EA's recent corporately-tortured 'skate' redux, a gorgeous nightmare of grinds and sick-ass scenery.
