telling first grader tier lies has got to be an underutilised form of commedy "when i was younger they sent me to the moon for a few weeks but had to send me back because they forgot to send enough food"

Steel saying, "I don't trust people who lie to me!" To Ame's face in episode 12 is pretty rich now that we know what we know. Steel is very Stone Cold Steve Austin in the way she conducts herself towards Ame this whole scene. She's trying so hard to avoid even the chance of being cursed by Ame. What a devious villian, 10/10 no notes.

i have a youtube video about the use of jumpscares in horror games playing in the background while I work, and it reminded me of the single worst jumpscare i've ever experienced, which happened while I was playing a little game I like to call... Google Maps. (you play Google Maps by turning on street view, zooming in to somewhere that looks interesting, and clicking on any 360 photo views that people might have uploaded. i have spent many hours of my life playing Google Maps)

Anyway, spin this guy around to see something that legitimately made me jump so hard that I damn near threw my drink across the room

(more info under the cut if you're worried about what you'll see)

there's a fish very close to the camera

Check out the Game Devs of Color Support bundle, available for the next two weeks (Aug 22-Sept 4) 107 games for $10! Copied from the itch.io bundle page:

This bundle supports Game Devs of Color, a nonprofit organization that uplifts and amplifies game creators of color. Many of the games here were made by developers of color, and others were contributed by allies who share our mission. It’s a celebration of community, creativity, and solidarity. All proceeds go directly toward programs like conferences, games showcases, grants, scholarships, and other year-round initiatives that expand access to opportunities in the game industry. Getting this bundle helps make these efforts possible! Game Devs of Color is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to amplify the creative power of people of color in games. Programs include: - hosting the annual Game Devs of Color Expo, now in its 10th year as the premier game industry conference centering POC speakers and exhibitors - spotlighting creators by curating the annual GDoCExpo Direct showcase - driving sales and wishlists for indie devs by running a front-page Steam Sale that reaches hundreds of thousands every year - connecting talented people with in-person opportunities by organizing scholarship programs at major industry gatherings - investing in the community by providing tens of thousands of dollars of no-strings grant funding annually - raising hardship funds to help community members navigate layoffs and industry upheaval - and so much more, especially with your help! We do this all while putting people first and without putting the cost on devs, including never charging dev submission or exhibition fees, always paying speakers, providing sliding scale and free tickets, online accessibility, captions, and free archives. We're committed to the mission but we can't do this without your support. Thank you for supporting the movement. 💚

picked up an eastern tailed blue today and the way it immediately drew in its legs was so cute... reminded me of a kitten getting picked up by the scruff of its neck for some reason. then i wanted a kitten-sized lycaenid

You have to play portal if you haven’t played it yet thats NOT okay portal 1 is like 4 hours and portal 2 is like 7. How much time do you spend every week scrolling social media. Ok now replace that with thinking with portals. Guess what you just played two 10/10 games and it’s not even Sunday
