My game’s stats indicate unequivocally: more people are viewing “furry” game than “free” game

#x-yze V 1.02

tons of bugfixes, some QoL, minor balance tweaks. biggest things are fixing pause menu bugs related to gamepads, and a new setting to boost the brightness of the PUR background (iykyk)

chrislsound.itch.io/x-yze/devlog...

[MINOR UPDATE] v1.02 (actually kinda big)

FIXED hopefully fixed most if not all issues with pause menu strangeness fixed incorrect font credit fixed some menu sfx not playing correctly fixed being able to pause during credits fixed game think...

🏮 Here's a frighteningly festive scene! 👹
One year, back when I hosted my own Drawlloween challenges during October, I did full-scene illustration every week. This one features a town full of Yokai! How many can you name? 👻 #yokai #monsters #illustration #alixesque

A festival scene on a Japanese-style street with hanging lights and many Yokai. A Kasa-Obake and Chochin Obake hang out near the top left and right, with assorted creatures from top to bottom: A Tengu looking at a Baku, Sunamura no Onryo looking at Pumpkitty, Amabie walking along, Kappa holding a lantern, Hitotsune-Kozo calling others into his shop, a Nekomata mother walking with her child, and Ina the O-Inari talking to a ghost bookseller.

My Hallowednesday Stream starts in about an hour! I’m not sure what to expect since I haven’t really played much of this one… we’ll find out together!! 😈📹

For tomorrow's Hallowednesday Steam, I'm playing a little-known, strange PS2 game from Suda/Grasshopper... Michigan: Report from Hell! 🎃 Join me as I document some bizarre & spooky events around Lake Michigan! Let's get the scoop @ 9am PT!! 📹

Being an adult is occasionally looking out into the clear blue skies from the wrong side of a window and considering playing every RPG on the Sega Genesis.

That's normal. Be ready for when that happens.

It may just be me lol. I think most folks I’ve heard from played on gamepad. To me it’s hard to be super precise and to react as quickly as on kb.

Fantastic write-up on why the yakuza series at its core is so special and why I love it so much

I finally started playing a series I've known I'd love for a long time!

playing yakuza gives me a sense of internal quiet. it's a (relatively) small set of game systems that pattern themselves in a predictable way: you stroll...

Just ran through #x-yze to test this next update. Played on gamepad this time and lemme just say… all y’all playing on gamepad? That’s HARD MODE. I find keyboard waaaaaaay easier for its precision and speed. Maybe I just got clumsy thumb though

Starting in just over an hour!! 🎃 Come see a really great (yet often overlooked) game with immaculate vibes!

🎃 Alix ! 💕 @alixesque.itch.io · 3d

👻 Tomorrow's MONSTERday Stream is a hidden gem on the PS2: FromSoftware's Kuon! 👹 I've been excited to share this game all year!! I absolutely love the vibes it has - a very atmospheric kind of spookiness - but it may be a bit creepy to some! See you brave souls @ 9am PT tomorrow!

This game taught me the true depth of bump action—the enemy placement is absolutely brilliant, and it’s incredibly fun!
I’m going to continue playing from where I left off today!
