I really underestimated the sleep deprivation of baby times. I am honestly amazed that I can still think straight but I am also positive something in my brain is deleveling lmao…….

So extremely amped that The Strong Museum acquired these Fantastic Arcade cabinets, including Grass Stains!!

I made this little co-op soccer game w/ my buds Aaron Freedman, @radstronomical.bsky.social and @amosroddy.bsky.social for Fantastic Arcade back in 2018.

So proud of our little cabinet ❤️

Just curious if Princess Tutu was at all an inspiration? There were some elements that really reminded me of it! One of my favorite shows ever!

Nina Freeman @ninamarie.bsky.social · 7d

I got a few endings but tbh I’m guessing there’s more! Mind was already blown tho so I had to post 😂

Nina Freeman @ninamarie.bsky.social · 7d

Oh god that’s hard… I really liked when she became a more lofi sketch version of herself lol

Nina Freeman @ninamarie.bsky.social · 7d

Ok I finally played Slay the Princess and it is an absolutely incredible next level game!!! What the hell!!!

At least half the time I spot an awesome vintage t-shirt, it’s several sizes off for me… I wish I could scale clothing irl

Nina Freeman @ninamarie.bsky.social · 9d

Relatable

In case you’re wondering how it’s going, I just mistakenly threw my toothbrush in the trash!

* me looking at my baby * I can’t wait to play disco elysium together someday 🥹

Nina Freeman @ninamarie.bsky.social · 12d

There are way too many cool games and I love that for all of us

Nina Freeman @ninamarie.bsky.social · 12d

I read through everything in that first image (second is a bit blurry) and I’m dying at the dog shit quote… lmaoooo. A lot of what he says is still true, and some was proven wrong… this industry is so cyclical, as is a lot of art. I’d definitely read more if you have the scans!! Thanks for this!

Nina Freeman @ninamarie.bsky.social · 13d

I think someone should come take over my life for a few days so I can run away and play Silent Hill f

Sorry for being the weirdo jumping into the replies, but Chris Crawfords games were so ahead of their time in terms of narrativizing systems, and his designer notes and special thanks in the game manuals are pure gold. Highly recommend if y’all haven’t read through them, I find them very inspiring!
