Hello, I have an announcement regarding Silicon Wasteland.

I originally planned to release it this year, but having reached the halfway mark of 2025 and seeing what's left to finish, I've decided to delay it.

The new release date is now: whenever it's done! Thank you for your patience.

I recorded footage of Beghost, making sure I walked through rooms all dramatically and deliberately so I'd have good shots for my trailer and when I went to go look at it, it only recorded 5 minutes worth and now I have to play through my whole game again

fuck I came in here to make this joke

vidboy @vidboy.net · Jul 26

I had a irl "friend" of mine who had moved away years ago reach out to me recently in hate, I assume because he saw my pronouns in my bio, and simultaneously say "you'll never be a girl" and question my masculinity

he then proceeded to ask to purchase my used socks
