Hi! I'm Puddle, I like video games and talking about how they make me feel.

This is the video I'm proudest of atm:

In it I explore imaginary spaces and how they can have a tangible effect on our lives, whether we like it or not.

Thank you so much for stopping by! ^-^

I wrote a thing about how frustrating this line of thought is, cuz it gets trotted out every few years, and a whole bunch of interesting people disagree thoughtfully and articulately, and none of those disagreements are acknowledged when it's trotted out again

so weird to me that people will follow brands but they won't follow the creators who made the brands. You'll be like "oh! yeah! that's by the lady who wrote [other thing they liked]" and they're like "I had no idea"

if you follow people you like, they will make more!

finding a song so good it instantly becomes a favorite only to check out the artist and slowly discover in horror that you absolutely despise every other thing they ever made

NEW VIDEO! To me, the best satire helps us envision a better world. Grand Theft Auto, as made by a Rockstar that treats its workers as terribly as it has done, says this is as good as it gets. Here's a video discussing why I've personally had enough of that.

Enjoy! Shares appreciated!

This is like when they made it so you don’t have to remove your shoes at the Airport this year: objectively a good thing that Trump will not benefit from because he’s fucking up literally everything else.

No Games For Genocide
The games industry is complicit in genocide. It’s time to divest.

Signing this pledge, which largely resembles what I wrote in my manifesto and what I have practiced publicly, with others since April. I hope that making this call to action explicit, that hearing from colleagues instead of Palestinians, and that social capital help ostracize our willful ignorance.

I am a signatory on this initiative and to be honest it was an easy decision to make. No Escape does not and will not cover Xbox-published games until Microsoft has fully ended its role in the Gaza genocide, and I urge all colleagues to sign and pledge the same. There is power in collective action.

Atoll: Basins

On the edge of the Deep, basins started forming. Galactic tidepools teaming with life. An undiscovered ecosystem. They've appeared on planets, asteroids, anywhere...and everywhere.

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf
