Do you write short-form horror stories? Please DM me, I have something I want to show you :)

Aaron San Filippo @aaronflippo.bsky.social · 29d

Ok (1) this looks amazing, and (2) I think it's hilarious that when I google this, the first 4 results are for real world cleaning companies 😅 Is there somewhere I could learn more about it?

I wanted to go real hard on pushing the Kickstarter on its last three days but I just got back from a 3 day hiking/camping trip and my body is paying for the hubris of deciding to sprint downhill. Please support us as we make a puppet musical!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

The Last Fifteen Minutes

A marionette opera and short film about having dinner together before a giant kaiju steps on you.

I had a similar experience with a Costco pharmacist. "As long as you check 'yes' on box 5, as far as I'm concerned, you're good to get it."

Whether I can get my insurance to cover it will be another story I think...

Aaron San Filippo @aaronflippo.bsky.social · Sep 6

Ok hear me out: Just lighten the tone up a bit and you can sell tickets to the backrooms here

Aaron San Filippo @aaronflippo.bsky.social · Sep 5

Also, curious what app you're using here?

Nice! I'm JUST starting this journey myself, about 2 weeks in here. Running is NOT my thing but it feels great to see that number go down.

I just picked up this OTHER Meteroidvania that dropped today, out of indie solidarity and because it frankly looks awesome.

This dev has been working on this since at least 2016 and locked in today as their launch date before Silksong announced their date.
