69 cents for a poetic horror game where someone dances like a hologram? That’s an extremely dangerous impulse purchase.

Digital poetry should be a genre. Short, powerful, unique audiovisual interactive experiences.

A major issue to this though is that steam would just let players refund after finishing.

Another issue is the culture of gaming being.....yeah.

We should all support Nathalie as she tries anyway.

These really are getting farther apart, but new from me: for its 40th anniversary, I wrote about From Beyond, the second half of one of the most fun double-features you can hatch at Halloween and an exemplar of the special effects boom of the 80s.
40 Years Later, A Transgressive Horror Masterpiece Remains Wildly Influential
'From Beyond' is a tentpole of an era of effects we’re only starting to rediscover.

omg i just updated the emulated version of BlueSuburbia (the original flash one from ~1999) with the latest Ruffle player. originally i was bummed about how bad it emulated. it's flawless now! recently i made a bunch of Flash games (in Flash 8), and they emulate beautifully too! like 🤯

my roots as a dev are custom engines, open source tools, Flash (AIR), and web… i pivoted to learn a big 3d tool so it would be harder for guys to write me off as niche. now i’m getting written off for knowing the mainstream tool & lectured on the importance of open source 🤦 lol i’m never good enough
