@finalboyo Thank you

Despite all the gore and sexual violence, Gods Fare No Better is at its core a story about the power of friendship turning despair into a blade powerful enough to cut through the endless pointless stories we’re buried under. It is anti-nihilistic. It’s a grimbright story. That’s why it feels alive.

Great cover.

Speaking of literary risk-taking outside the publishing establishment:

[C. P. Serret @LeProjetSerret]

Right now, literary risk-taking is wholly outside of the Big-5 conglomerate model.

Planet Laika is cool. I get why it never got a US port. It’s a very strange game.

@EndlessYummy You read my mind! I was just looking at this (same site and everything lol)

Figured out how to run emulated Japanese PS1 games with English fan translations on my ROG. I'm not very tech savvy but it's working. First up is Planet Laika. Stoked for the Kowloon's Gate English patch next week. Happy to exist in PS1 world for the foreseeable future.

My good friend Ursula K. Le Guin has some thoughts on this

Finished a draft of a novel only to realize it is a bigger book.

I liked The Backrooms a lot. It felt like a movie made by someone who’s never seen a movie before. I felt this way about Obsession too. There are some interesting things happening with these young horror directors. Unique vocabularies for strange, cold stories.
