Hello, my name is Catherine, and I post art every few years, now on Bluesky.
Bad decisions and stubbornness. I decided I want to be an artist as a child and unfortunately no amount of signs that I'm not cut out for it or embarrassing failures have managed to stop me entirely.

Thank the lord for SHf, our ray of hope in this SH2-shaped quagmire.

Bsky, please recommend me your favourite short games!
Under 5 hours is perfect, but anything under 10 is fine too, that cuts off all the genres I avoid anyway.

Seance at Blake Manor is great, I am thoroughly comfy exploring this mega-haunted house.
Was nervous about the time mechanic at first but the game seems to be very generous with it, as long as you don't talk with everyone about literally everything you'll have time to spare.

I guess my most woke opinion is that the concept of "earning your living" is outdated to the point of being inhumane. The way technological progress is going, we will either accept that we should provide decent living for everyone for the good of all society, or continually descend into nightmare.

Almost went mad trying to change my Ebay address and ended up creating a new account, which worked.
I'm thinking maybe the old one was being blocked for being registered in Russia, but either way it would be helpful to get ANY indication of what the issue was other than "something went wrong", huh

To my delight and horror, Hades 2 is doing the same thing to my brain as Hades did and now I'm sacrificing sleep for one more run. I think I agree with (what seems to be) the general consensus that the storylines are a bit weaker this time around, but everything else is perfect.

Sad to say, after 2 sessions of Bloodlines 2 I just have no desire to continue playing it. I will eventually – out of curiousity and to see if maybe the story is ultimately worth it – but, damn.
Will also try lowering the difficulty to Story 'cause I don't want to spend time with that combat.

I'm gonna have a break in work in December (hopefully a temporary one), leaving me with half-free days, and my list of plans for it just keeps growing. I hope I don't end up crashing and just gaming instead 🫠

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...
It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.
Please share :)

The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story
Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

Things that strike me about Seattle in Bloodlines 2:
- People really do not care about a goth gliding down from the rooftops.
- Everyone is too normal. Even the vampires are more-or-less normal. In LA everyone was completely bonkers, including the mortals. Maybe that's true to life, I dunno.

I'm doing my best to approach Bloodlines 2 with an open mind, to divorce it from the legacy of the title slapped on it. It would not survive that comparison, but it's fine, it can be its own thing.
But... I'm afraid so far it falls short of the game it is actually trying to be, too.

An aside from my Rogue Trader thoughts: it is amazing how much narrative freedom you get when you can simply not animate – and, god forbid, voice – a full-ass cutscene and just write in text whatever's happening.

Rogue Trader finished. 10/10 Owlcat does it again, can't believe the cast of companions is this good again, right after my #1 favourite cast of WOTR.

SPOILERS for the Elderlings books, relatively vague.
I'm sure she's going somewhere with it (the effect of trauma, or what made the Servants so cruel), but I really don't like all the torture porn Beloved's going through. Their experience in The Tawny Man was quite enough in my opinion, now this?

Alright, I'm slowly reaching the end of Rogue Trader and that means one thing. Let's gooooo (next week, when I actually finish RT)

Я прекрасно понимаю, что это иррациональное желание, и на самом деле я хочу не просто в другое место, а в год эдак 2010-й, но энивей.
Так скучаю по Москве иногда, что просто выть хочется. Не могу найти себе новый дом нигде ещё, и эта тоска только растёт с каждым годом.
