not affiliated but temp hardpost for easier sharing. have some friends and some physical and digital games I like/am interested in this bundle which are among 252 other games:
1. beam saber, a ttrpg about being mech pilots in a war which cannot be ended that i play once a month.
2. co-open, a 3d adventure game following a kid doing groceries by themselves for the first time in a suspiciously large co-op. made by some very dear friends in lowpolis.
3. super hot x baba is you fan game. who could say what this is.
4. anamnesis, a solo journaling game where you draw tarot and figure out who you are after memory loss.
Wrote about the new armored core and how the franchise and the mecha genre broadly struggles to speak to meaningful changes to society. Check it out on KRITIQAL, link on my website in bio.
Did some travelogue-ish writing about a weekend in June where I ran myself into the ground trying to attend a mostly disastrous anime convention while maintaining the rest of my life. Rambled about the weird ghosts of older community members, attitudes, and traditions being chased out by negligence and surveillance as COVID smolders on. Check it out on deep-hell.com.
I've launched a calendar for DIY in the tri-state @coolshows.life ! You may have seen or heard me talk about this over the past year if you know me. Getting information out to people is one of the most important and most difficult and time consuming parts of running meaningful events on your own or the community dollar and Instagram is maybe the worst possible tool for the job. Idrc about doing numbers on the account and moreso want it to be known to people who are currently or want to put in the time, but follows and shares obviously will help that process along. Please reach out if you'd like to help in any capacity.
