I had to toss out a juvenile Nosferatu spider this morning (so Kiano wouldn't try to eat it and risk a bite in his mouth) and noticed that I've gotten *significantly* less squeamish about spiders since I have cats that eat them, even when it comes to the ones that they can't eat.

that's lovely to hear, thank you! There's definitely horse game news that I don't cover, but it's often the more niche stuff that people outside the community don't hear about anyway. And I do try to be timely whenever there's big news, like AAA game announcements with horses ^^

I never really felt like any of my horse game community building was particularly algorithm-friendly, apart from the one time one of my posts went ultra viral. It's a lot more about communities looking sort of active (i.e. having posts from the past week/month) whenever someone new finds them

aww, thank you very much, I appreciate it 🥹❤️

the examples I mentioned in the post are Barbie Riding Club, Alicia Online (or any horsie kart-like tbh) and Spirit: Forever Free but I will gladly toss more examples your way. and also help you publish.

yeah very much same vibe!!!

(fortunately this has really only happened like a few times, so it's not a big problem or anything, it's just super fucking irritating WHEN it happens)

that, and "why is alice considered to be the only person talking about horse games :/" like WELL I DON'T FUCKING KNOW HAVE YOU TRIED JUST *ALSO* TALKING ABOUT THEM literally my only advantage is that I've been persistent about it for years now and it's not like I'm taking up anyone else's space here

I love and respect this, thank you for the explanation!!

considering how often I've explained "horse game vs game with horses" to people this distinction between fishing game and fishing minigame absolutely should not surprise me and yet my first instinct just now was "oh wow you've really thought about this". but of course you have 🫡💖
