Meeting our dragon was so inspirational and transcendental, felt like I was giving birth without the pain.

And THAT is how you do a finale!!!! SICKENING💁‍♀️

[reneechoices]

with fortunately convenient timing, the unnanounced narrative game company founded by former pb employees now has a name! candlelight games, led by none other andrew shvarts aka mr. blades himself (along with his brother daniel), megan schwarz (lead of tna, ame, ds, weh) and royal mcgraw (who headed the original hollywood u and then choices until 2021).

their first project is a fantasy story, so if the series ai acquisition and, most recently, the blades iii ai cover reveal upsets and disappoints you (which it should! fuck ai fr), i'd recommend taking a following to them as i have. i'm looking forward to what's to come!

i genuinely wonder if any former longtime pb employees (especially the ogs that had been there 10+ years) look at the state of their beloved app and like. detest it or something. because you stay and you stay and you stay with the promise that things will get better until one day 75% of employees are laid off including yourself and then your game that you kinda put your heart and soul into is sold to a generative ai company. anyways i really do wish them well and onto better projects

candlelight games have socials on twitter, bluesky, and insta now!! exciting :)

The asylum they raised me in:

I’m not joking, especially considering the recent layoffs at PB apparently included artists, we should all absolutely bully PB online for having the unmitigated gall to use GenAI for their book covers.

Rivals with Benefits could honestly be good if PB dropped the ingenue MC thing just once and allowed us to be on equal footing with the LI, but I highly doubt that they will

oh shit guess who’s in their fleabag era …..#this #bitch

Modern choices books be like, take this scene to spend time with your friends, but 'your friends' are actually

your LI (whether you like it or not)

1-2 other potential LIs who you don't romance, so all of their meaningful character establishing moments get left behind the paywall, reducing their role to that of an awkward third wheel

that one supporting character who actually has personality and depth and who you care more about than anything else in the book

2-4 reused sprites supporting characters who only exist to make the book's universe feel less empty and soulless, but they appear in like 2 scenes throughout the story, thus somehow achieving the opposite effect

This release schedule is sad

Butterfly effect: The birth of Jesus -> Blades 3

Opening the Choices app for the first time in months and why does every book cover look like

[reneechoices]

now how has the Shadow!Nia hate already started. how do you guys go on and on and on about wanting morally gray characters or for sweet characters to stop being doormats only to shit your pants the second shadow!Nia calls everyone out and is more focused on the mission than helping out strangers. explain the logic to me

[reneechoices]

Part 2 🙄

The GOATs of Choices imo:
