checked out Carimara on a whim, got maybe the most gorgeous and heartbreaking game I've played all year by surprise www.inverse.com/gaming/carim...

Steam Just Quietly Added A Stunning Horror Mystery With A Surprising Twist

A stunning new mystery game is the perfect game to play this Halloween, even if you're not a typical horror fan.

thanks Hayes!

yeah to be honest, maybe 10% of the indies I cover have actually been pitched to me? the smallest games are often the hardest to get in contact with devs/publishers about even if you are interested in covering them

it's so strange to repeatedly see devs griping that smaller games don't get any respect, while denying that same respect to smaller outlets! and as a person who tries my best to cover indies, also very weird to be told that I do not exist lol

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

Matt Cameron @mattcameron.bsky.social · 10d

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

"Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians not directly taking part in hostilities, even if they are believed to be smuggling drugs."

the trick is to treat your mental health spiral like a spinning teacups ride, just try not to pass out and enjoy the whirling until it stops

the best part of buying a cute new outfit is the vague but unshakable sense that it's somehow going to change your whole life

When the thrift store has the spirit but they're running out of paint

Window display with the words "queer joy belongs everywhere" and approximations of various queer pride flags, most of which don't have all of their colors

moping around the apartment in pajamas, listening to music that makes me sad, playing games that annoy me, reading books I don't like. a perfect saturday
