Well, fuck. Revoking any and all Peripeteia recommendations (and I wish I could un-back it on Kickstarter) based on the very thinly veiled transphobia from the dev (the first one in the screenshots here).

I hate this.
Acquaintance grabbed these screencaps. Idk if it's getting purged.

"Second stage is people rejecting conspiracy discourse" is genuinely hilarious, I gotta teach em a little about Yakub and maybe they'll change their tune

and all of this is explained in language that borrows heavily from nutrition terminology

I don't say it enough, but Warsim is an amazing game. It definitely pairs well with Caves of Qud and the Six Ages games!

Please give it a chance, it's one of those games that stays with you
Simulation and adventure! What can one person do? Well, almost anything, it turns out!

Warsim and Caves of Qud are bundled together for a great savings.

If you've played Caves of Qud and haven't read Nausicaa, you have an incredible journey waiting for you.

no, it's not really like the movie, the move ends at volume 2, there are 5 more volumes.

the story ends in a far more chilling way than the movie did.

I can't recommend it enough.

The Nausicaä print that kicked off my monthly riso print thing, before I had the foresight to add a border. Maybe I’ll have to revisit it for a future month, but in the mean time I’ve got something else more fall-themed in the works for this month instead
