✪ Jonathan H. Gray: “Professor of Halloweenery” ✪ @jongraywb.bsky.social · 12h

If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

When @aceottorney.bsky.social first told me about this I said "this could change people's lives and stop developers from getting exploited" and having seen the final resource, I think I was not wrong. I'd call it a must-bookmark for indie devs.

It’s so annoying that we all have to just continually point out how rules around/between decorum and violation are applied asymmetrically to vulnerable groups versus the people who are always hassling them, and it’s extra insulting that the people in charge are trying to lol it away.

Next in our line of VNs was Priro Productions’s Prince Rosalium, Parfum Nostalgique. He's a therapist, he's a vampire, he's 265 years old, and he's having a midlife crisis.

Prince Rosalium, Parfum Nostalgique Dev🌹✨️ @princerosalium.bsky.social · Oct 17

I'm Rosario, Prince Dev of Parfum Nostalgique, a visual novel dram-com series about the fantastic, dramatic, romantic, traumatic life of a 265-year-old therapist-by-day dom-by-night vampire. ✨️❤️

Available for download or play in browser!

An absolutely ridiculous blobby black cat with horrifyingly human eyes (very cute)

A beautiful person with warm and inviting green eyes in a wedding dress and veil covered in glitter and bathed in sunlight. There is a visual novel text box underneath that reads "Are you afraid of flying?"

A portrait of a vampire with long blonde hair, red lipstick, and long red nails wearing a BDSM harness holding a violet wand. He is covered in black lipstick kiss marks. There is a visual novel text box with the beginning of a line from Antony and Cleopatra (Now boast thee, death, in thy possession lies...)

Three characters lined up in a row. Dash, who has green hair and is wearing a pink butterfly top, butterfly sunglasses, and tight pink pants with a whale tail thong, Saturday, whose hair is in an afro and is wearing a yukata ensemble featuring an adorable ocean fish pattern, and Val, who is a tall blond vampire in a sheer turquoise crop top with red heart pasties, leather pants, fingerless gloves, and a razor blade necklace. There is a visual novel text box that reads "Val: You see, I'm quite good at getting rich people into cages."

At least for the first playthrough I don't think it gets ridiculously hard on story mode (though it will be for me)
