Most of these films makes me wonder if the person that made this poster even knows what cozy means. Like for Practical Magic and Hocus Pocus? I can see it. The rest don't fit it at all, and I wonder if the poster maker even saw some of them.

A close friend of mine recently lost their mother and could use some help covering the funeral. Anything helps (including sharing this)

The writing in this game easily goes toe to toe with my fave VN, Slay The Princess. It's dark, brooding, and the horror is deeply uncomfortable as Demian tries to navigate their life. This game is a beautiful piece of literature that deserves to become a classic. Literal 10/10 game, no notes.

A very good video I wanted to share. A very informative video, and yes it's 5 hours long, and also yes it is worth every minute. He even puts all his sources in the description for ease of reference too.

The FBI now seems to be preparing to brand trans activism as terrorism, using Charlie Kirk's killing (in which no trans people were involved whatsoever) as flimsy justification - the American government is setting up a genocide against trans people.

If it looks like a fascist, talks like a fascist, and smells like someone's depends are full, it's a fascist.

Making more progress with the jam project. I got the portraits finished, an optional ending half done, and fixed a few bugs.

I'm almost able to put the main ending in, then I have to scramble to get the ending CG done. I want to do more, but I have no idea if I can make them all in time.

Ty ty! I'm really excited for this one, since I'm hoping to do the dream that inspired it justice.

The lil dolls at the start remind me of old Halloween decorations from the 50's, and I kinda like them for that.

When you can't think of an item name, so you just use an actor slot so that all of its mentions get updated later.

I did read that you can use pictures and screen flashes in fights though, so hypothetically you can hand animate a couple picture frames where they end up on the screen and then add them before removing the pictures. That's the only thing I can suggest that might work???

I'm not having any real luck, unfortunately. I don't really have any experience with the battlers, so I don't know what all you can event with them. Like making them have a transparent sprite, move them off the map, then make them jump with a movement route, but I dunno if you can do that in fights.
