It’s a bummer is just so mediocre, casting issues aside. Legacy was so good!

The last article in my Awards Debrief is up. What even is the point of an award show? Should anyone care?

I genuinely love that your response to that Redditor’s bizarre argument is a long sentence that takes up the entire character limit of post. That’s good and makes the language nerd in me laugh!

arcane jelly cult @arcanejellycult.itch.io · 1d

I feel this to my core.

If you do delete, I hope to run into you again sometime, someplace.

I’ve been deep in the “Return to Boletaria” community event for Demons’ Souls.

The remake on PS5 is beautiful.

Caught up on the livecast from this week. Someone mentioned that other companies are starting to put 'no ai was used' kind of notes on their games and in rulebooks. I think y'all might be interested to know that there is a movement there and people look for that!

About once a year I revisit one of my favorite fantasy comics, Clandestinauts by @timsievert.bsky.social.

It is absolutely rad and worth checking out if you’ve not. Plus it’s got a slug guy that’s a knight.

KOKOTÖNA Pre-launch LIVE 📌|E💀C @elchupalabras.itch.io · 2d

Hey #TTRPGCommunity! Less than a week until the #Kickstarter for #KOKOTÖNA goes live, so for this #WIPWednesday I'd like to share with you some old concept art and text from way back when the #TTRPG was early in development!

#RPGLatAm

Reddit screenshot of a post dated more than 2 years ago.

The title reads: I'm working on a Mörk Borg compatible Mesoamerican inspired setting called KOKO◈TÖNA, I am gonna start sharing little bits of lore and content here and on the game's Twitter! Hope you like it!

The image shows an aztec style glyph in red on a black background with the text: Years of Ceremonial Flower Wars have reduced the continet-spanning Teotekan Empire to ashes. Tez-Kozamalotl, Huei'Tlatoani, supreme ruler of the seven imperial tribes has succumbed to the madness of embarking into Likland, the accursed eastern continent, and sacrificing the True Thieves of the Flesh as the final offering to Huei'Huei-Naktokatl's ancient bargain. He crawls out of his Temple-Palace, a rotting husk of skin and bones. He coldly snatches a blood-obsidian knife and plunges it into his own chest, ripping his still-beating heart out. He devours it whole then smashes it under the glare of Huei'Huei-Metzhuotl's blood-red moon. As blood gushes from his mouth, he flashes a maniacal grin and addresses his followers, issuing a final command: KOKOTÖNA

Mirror images of Makizkoatl scultupres, two-headed snakes. with the text "First came HER Then came HER MATE"
