❝...Say Zach, do you remember the first bar we ever went into? Fun times, wouldn’t you say Zach? That's right. It wasn’t like any of the old movies we saw back then. Such as 1994’s indie cult film, Pulp fiction, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Boy did that Uma Therman sure know how to dance… Did you know the set location was actually a closed down bowling alley? Still, It was quite the culture shock for us to truly experience the real deal. Though you could never handle your alcohol, could you Zach? For being in a small town such as Greenvale, The Galaxy of Terror has a surprisingly lively nightlife atmosphere. Great place, though they don't serve coffee. I think it could even rival that of bars in other bigger Washington cities, don’t you think Zach?❞

My piece for Bonus Footage @deadlypremonitionzine for Deadly Premonition's 15th year anniversary! This game has that small town campy charm while simultaneously being one of the most haunting horror concepts that it made a very strong impression on me the first time I came across it about eight years ago.

Mostly this piece was inspired by the thought of these two sisters getting the happy ending that was denied for them, in an alternative universe kind of way. With Carol still performing her heart out on stage, and Thomas able to join in by accompanying her on the piano.

Thomas is wearing a squirrel necklace specifically modeled after a Beechey ground squirrel (Otospermophilus beecheyi), to go with her special interest and because it's the most common type locally to where the game would take place.

The film strip is homage to Zach and York’s love of movies. The sound waves (which used to be printed on old film reels!) is the actual visual audio pattern with Carol singing “I dream of you” which I transposed using editing software. Even though it's a blink and you miss it detail I thought it was worth the effort haha.

Besides all the police station keys from Thomas’ search request, I added other in game items, such as the red seeds, York’s no smoking lighter, Thomas’ biscuit, York’s coffee (with FK swirled in the cream!), the reversed peace sign, and some cigarettes.

The leaves falling are specifically from the red trees local to Greenvale, that sparks the entire plot (and the horrors).

[tree3friend]

there is something about stories set in weird fictional American towns that just click with me:

Gravity Falls

Twin Peaks

Deadly Premonition

Welcome to Night Vale

all of these have just the right doses of mystery and comedy. twin peaks is definitely a big inspiration for all the others, and it is the coolest one in my opinion, though i love them all.

please recommend me similar stuff if you know any!

Y'know--

I don't think The Missing: JJ Macfield and the Island of Memories gets enough credit for how much it goes out of its way to depict how valid trans identities are regardless of presentation

During the game proper you are playing as a dream idealized version of JJ who took some of her traits from Emily (note their eyes are the same color) and has a feminine voice provided by a cis woman VA

And in the NG+ you can play as JJ as she is in reality with her developmental voice (voiced by a cis male VA albeit softly spoken) and with her short hair. You can chose to switch out JJ's wig, outfits and which version of her voice you use and some of the photos on JJ's phone will display how she is in reality

And the thing is for 100%ing the game your reward is to see post-game Emily and JJ go clothes shopping and find the outfit she wears in the dream

But like-- the game makes sure the player understands that voice, clothing and wig do not change JJ

She's the same woman in any depiction and that is such an empathetic way of telegraphing to the audience that trans women are women and they do not owe the world or themselves passing in any form to be recognized as such

For a Japanese video game that's pretty dang amazing and there's a big reason that despite some flaws (the handling of topics of suicide and conversion therapy are not great) it is one of our favorite bits of trans media

Helped get us to finally come out

This Saturday at 6 PM CST:

The first time I played through Deadly Premonition, it was the most I'd enjoyed a game since I was a little kid. I didn't think that was still possible, and I wanted to share it with everyone. It ended up being one of the first games I ever streamed, before Twitch was even a thing, and is probably part of the reason I'm where I am today.

But things change. I've changed, the world's changed, and a lot of stuff surrounding the game has changed. It's been a decade or more since I touched the game, and I think it's time I finally went back. What new things will I notice for the first time? How much will I still enjoy it? Will I enjoy it at all? Either way, I still want to share it with everyone.

This Saturday, please join me as I start a playthrough over a year in the making, beginning with a special presentation about Deadly Premonition, my history with the game, and why this stream has taken so long to prepare for.

Catch it all on twitch.tv/kerbumble

Naomi Hayward, my love~

I feel nostalgic for a favorite Swery game of mine, The Good Life, so have a few old doodles I never posted a few years back <3

[revretch]

SWERY's games are so weird, but switch them over to a style like Gravity Falls and they suddenly feel vastly more normal

[galtchild]

More drawings of my favorite shark man. Itching to play Deadly Prem 2 again and listen to some monologues about the movie Cat People.
