Almost at the end of my third playthrough! I'm working towards getting the rest of the endings.

That's too bad, for the most part mine plays it without issue! My other option would have been to play it on my PC, which has the graphics card to run it, but not really the power

My Dark Vanessa has it's flaws, but I still think about it all the time. I want to do a paired reread with Lolita some time

Three indie games, three different takes on a digital nightmare. While Proximate, Without a Dawn, and Dead Letter Dept. differ in their approaches, the takeaway is the same: our very perception of the world has been warped by systems outside our control. youtu.be/0zxQ9YAzy00

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Texting with another YA author friend this morning about the rough state of the market, and our consensus was, publishing keeps looking for the next Hunger Games, but they wouldn’t acquire the original if it were in their inboxes today

If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

When @aceottorney.bsky.social first told me about this I said "this could change people's lives and stop developers from getting exploited" and having seen the final resource, I think I was not wrong. I'd call it a must-bookmark for indie devs.
