I don't consider "it's gay" to necessarily be a selling point, but I've played enough surrealist indie games where the narrative turns out to be a strained allegory for the straight male developer breaking up with his girlfriend that at this point I get redflagged by even a whiff of heterosexuality.

It is true that DUI penalties are very inconvenient because of how car-centric our society is. How do you think we're going to make it less car-centric? Vibes? Essays?

Josh hits it.
I prefer to use my own damn eyes and ears, and they tell me that video games are not a better place thanks to The Game Awards. Careers are not made, prestige is not accrued, horizons are not broadened. I do not fault developers for grasping at any handhold available to them in this rapidly decaying business beset by lecherous consolidation and ravenous profit-seeking, and hope that more than a handful have been able to stay in the business longer thanks to the show’s exposure. But I think The Game Awards stance on the industry is exceedingly clear: Things are fine just the way they are. Everyone knows this isn’t true, but we are feeble in our articulations, rote in our responses to cruelties we protest. It is perturbing that we’ve become accustomed to the Hellscape Preamble, a boilerplate paragraph where socially conscious writers will acknowledge layoffs, industry turmoil, and global conflict, before running down their list of best games of the year. We make for ourselves the world we write, and we can only write the world we imagine. I’m begging you to consider how small our imaginations have gotten, that we will turn away from the capaciousness of our hearts and minds when it comes to video games in the name of a good time. Tune into The Game Awards or not, but consider the kind of person it is made for, and if that aligns with the world you want to lie in.

There are new pieces of original art available on the Haus of Decline store!
hausofdecline.bigcartel.com

Additionally, past unsold pieces have been marked down!

Here are some examples of the new work that is available!
A trans woman says "I don't know what it is, but there's something trans as hell about this cactus." She makes a post on social media kissing the cactus with the caption "I Love My Trans Cactus". Comments range from "Cute, OMG, to "Gorgeous Gorgeous Girls love cacti." Two other trans women see the post and one says "yo, that cactus is Trans as hell." A group of trans women are buying cacti in droves. The clerk at the counter says "thank you ladies, you have saved the cactus store!" One blonde Phillie Phanatic lady says "I don't know if we should be doing this..." A dark-haired Phillie Phanatic draws the blonde one's face close. The blonde on continues "your husband is my boss." They kiss forbiddenly. At the Toxic Yuri Writer's Group: Philadelphia Chapter, a woman reading this fiction says sweats hornily and says "yeah, this is some good shit right here..." A man in a tie asks "why are you looking at my feet, Lawrence?" Lawrence knees down and sees the first man's shoes are exactly the make of Sora's from Kingdom Hears. He asks "are those... are those Sora's shoes from Kingdom Hearts?" The first man asks "what's Kingdom Hearts?" causing Lawrence to spirtal. Lawrence frips the side of his head and says "the mystery deepens further..." The first man, angry, points to his feet and says "these are medical orthotics, Lawrence."

Hi, I’m Matthew Seiji Burns. You may know me from such tweets as “They call him Big Hat Logan because he wears a big hat” or “Sam. It’s me, Die-Hardman. Wanted to let you know there's banana bread in the kitchen.” Check out my debut novel, about a guy who has a bad time.
tuneandfairweather.bsky.social Tune & Fairweather @tuneandfairweather.bsky.social · Apr 18
Process takes readers on an intense psychological journey into the dark heart of Seattle’s tech startup world. The main character is a young man driven by an almost animalistic need to find outsized success creating the next unicorn tech juggernaut.

huge problem with american animation too. similarly copying the surface level aesthetics of their influences without the technical approach to make it actually work

Not we won an award. Congrats to the team. Loved working in Midnight and bringing that authenticity and representation to the South and Black stories.

A lot of times when right wing culture warriors say "bring back [thing]!" they mean "let [thing] be the unquestioned standard again, packaged in a way that's accessible to me in my current lifestyle/standard of living, and immune from critique."

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

every single time a member of the e33 team comes onstage, remember that geoff only gave them two tickets and the team had to pay out of pocket from a public-facing ticket portal for everybody else lmfao

honestly it's so cool that there are so many old games for various consoles that you can just play for free on your computer right now. sometimes a game that's never been in your language will get translated, and you can play that translated version, on the computer!

"if you want to play the harry potter game you should pirate it instead" or, and hear me out, you could have some goddamn self respect and play any one of the near-infinite number of other games that exist instead. but what do I know? I'm just an attractive genius who's better than you.

I honestly think that many people don't know what their public libraries offer besides books. I think that everyone should go on a public library treasure hunt in 2026. Go explore what your library systems offer at no cost to you. Report back to me :)

Okay, I'll make a thread of 50 indie games which I'll add to over the week, staring with.

1. Carimara

Play as a little goblin creature summoned by a witch to investigate what's haunting her cottage, it's a creepy bite-size mystery akin to the Frog Detective games, and has gorgeous visuals.

We can’t afford a $1M trailer slot 😔

But reposts on Bluesky cost $0 - and they really help tiny teams like ours ❤️

If cozy medieval creativity is your thing, here’s our Scriptorium trailer!

O Zeus, much-honoured, Zeus supremely great, to thee our holy rites we consecrate, our prayers and expiations, king divine, for all things to produce with ease through mind is thine. #☆ #greekmythology
a drawing of my interpretation of the greek god zeus. his hair is very long and curly and he is wearing a wreath of olive leaves. he also has a thick and curly beard. one of his hands is resting on his hip while the other is extended slightly and holding a stylized bolt of lightning. he is wearing robes draped across his body loosely which partially show off his muscular and big body. he is smiling softly at the viewer, expression prideful with an air of smugness. the frame around him is decorated emulating a greek pottery style. his name in old greek is written in the border at the center.

If you had seen her in battle...

The image shows digital art with Asian motifs. In the center is a woman with short black hair and an expressive, almost cybernetic face. She is dressed in a dark blue traditional garment resembling a Chinese qipao, decorated with golden floral patterns. The figure is holding a tea set on a tray—a teapot and two cups, from which light steam is rising. The background is rendered in rich, warm tones: a bright orange circle resembling the sun dominates, behind which silhouettes of bamboo and decorative geometric elements create an oriental atmosphere. The overall style of the image is futuristic and graphic, with strong contrasts between cool blue and warm red-orange tones.

scolding/shaming only works if you already hold the majority opinion in the given space. you need people to actually feel threatened by the possibility of being ostracized

Speaking of combat anims, did you notice? Jacket Beat in the chapter 1 fight is a different set with specific facial animations and moves to showcase her reaction to that initial rush of Silence.

There are quite a few different combat sets, I hope you'll enjoy looking at the details!
