Metaphor is a fantasy game in the sense that it simulates a world where I plan and use my time well

Post #13: An account of the single journey I had through the portals of @microlithgames' (unfinished, early access) Spellrune, which turned into a bit of an infinite loop... https://t.co/oCKULJdIuK

Post #12: We've been asking too many questions and are being thrust into the Arenas of @playniac's Insane Robots for the entertainment of others. Hopefully your own, too.

Lost Your Marbles (2021)
@SweetBabyInc's marble maze + visual novel adventure is such an unusual combination amongst an already odd lineup that it readily makes for one of the standouts of the first Playdate season. https://t.co/tk6AIXDwV6

Twitter saw fit to disappear my little thread of Playdate posts, so here it is again! Sorry to retag devs, but I need to keep these things in one place or I'll never find them again. Introductory post on the system itself: https://t.co/tbURJr6KK1

Boogie Loops (2021)
@mayli and @andy_matuschak's toylike tracker goes for whimsy over depth, and is a good reminder to stick with stuff in a world where we're surrounded by... too much stuff!

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles (2021)
Glacial at times, and they've never quite sorted the problem of punishments for prematurely presenting evidence that will later become relevant, but the characters and tone have never been better. That Layton crossover left a long tail.

2024 MEDIA. WILL THE THOUGHTS BE TIMELY? IRRELEVANT. IT'S ON

Super Size Me (2004)
Of no use or merit, but it's easy to say that in hindsight. Painfully '00s, even without Subway Jared and the Flash animations. I never knew that it has no actual premise. Like, yeah, fast food 3 meals a day isn't great, but who was actually doing that?

I literally get around to properly using Cohost the DAY BEFORE it went READ-ONLY

I AM CURSED

Going to give Twitter one more month and then try out Bluesky. I really like the Twitter format for social media, but even people with as low standards as I do have their breaking point. This website is now just a case study in mismanagement for future textbooks.

@BuddyWaters I liked watching Freiren. The volumes afterward are indeed languid, but personally I don't like them any less than, say, the tournament arc, which felt a bit obligatory and at-odds with everything up to then. The sense of 'where's this all going' is now more acute, I suppose.

@wendeego This thread is what it's all about
