Buy Mae’s tiny tunes I’m literally passing you the blunt
it's not over 'til I say it's over. fresh out the squeezy #bandcampfriday #micromusic #music #mus #mu #m decimae.bandcamp.com/album/microg...
(technically not until the 28th but I've gotta start chewing on the anxiety now!)
you don't actually want the one that ACTUALLY has fifty tracks though it's outright harsh noise but maybe you're a freak like me and that appeals to you? decimae.bandcamp.com/album/get-lo...
or me just going wholly weird on the soundplank for a swift fifty songos I mean five decimae.bandcamp.com/album/floral...
or my guest bangers for other people's projects... decimae.bandcamp.com/album/guest-ii
or this complete OST to the tiny game we made! decimae.bandcamp.com/album/susurrae
perhaps there are some of you who don't yet have my "primo album shit" too... perhaps... decimae.bandcamp.com/album/a-tast...
shit. I should have made you a robotfucker song for bandcamp friday
it's still bandcamp friday!! I've got all sorts of trash kicking around over here. come snuffle around like a truffle pig!! here's one that lets you externalize your birthday trauma on the cheap: decimae.bandcamp.com/album/fucky-... #bandcampfriday #bandcamp #friday #music #weirdshit #idk
This is the rat equivalent of climbing into a coffin in Dark Souls
this is a good thread on how deep indie game development goes, and current Silksong discourse.
Hollow Knight literally renewed my love for games and desire to make my own – so over the years I've ended up pretty familiar with their goings-on! I might be a little feisty here, but I do think we can punish ceo narratives better if we dig a little deeper on both the enemy and the example.
🤖 ( . Y . )
and the one we're working on right now... I can't say too much, but it cuts into all three of our team's traumas and lore bits, with lots of nods to key people along the way. I'm so haunted and excited.
back to this more fun fucked up point though – games drawing very specific influence and cannibalizing the neighbor's dog is such good shit. like... Grögol Bonanza is so much that. I've asked a lot of friends if I can unspool them into weird un-birds and there's been a lot of joy!
it feels good to see the vision. I have no illusions about it happening from a very special (and funded) place. I'll be over the moon if 500 people play our next game. I can't grindset ratrace my way into a position in capital that doesn't kill me. but I want more art in the world. 16/16
please understand that some of us are relieved to see that sometimes, taking your time can be rewarding. making a game that you want to play can be rewarding. working hard at your vision can be rewarding. not even for sales – most of us know we're fucked. but because the game is *good.* 15/
I know there's no hope for changing the arc of the discourse. we're already cooked, etc etc. but. I hope you can appreciate that this is, in fact, a big win for a small team, no matter who tries to hijack it for their narrative. 14/
and that art was made better because they could afford more help with crucial flourishes and stretch goals. it benefitted from being in demand — they got preferential placement from platform holders because HK inspired interest. all of that matters — and is credited. ks backers too! 13/
and when they got the chance to make a sequel off the success of the first, they kept it tight. they were responsible and let it take the time it needed, despite constant demands from feverish enthusiasts. despite self-cynical "gamer discourse" about product, when they toiled at an art. 12/
but in this case like. these scrappy dweebs were outright skipping meals and sleep to make the first possible. their kickstarter came out when people fuckin' HATED 2D platformers and said awful shit. they put themselves on the line. just to make something they were proud of. not to "win." 11/
they all deserve credit. they all deserve celebration. but all of this was possible because of the smaller core that proved they could do this with joyful bonuses or not. the "tired of the rags to riches narrative" comment gets me especially. because yeah, I do hate shit like that. 10/
but like I feel like you asked Graig or Leth, or any of the professionals (or friends and family) who provided voices, or anyone else who made this level of presentation possible — they wouldn't consider themselves the "game devs". they'd be their own crucial parts! but it's layered! 9/
in more languages because a dedicated translation team made that possible in ways they never could alone, as a service! I love that they had a strong bench of playtesters to make sure everything felt like it should and that most bugs were resolved! like that's great! 8/
which is awesome! I love that Larkin was able to hire an orchestra — he's proven himself wildly capable with midi arrangements, so he gets to lean into the dream with the luxury of a support team! all of whom deserve credit for elevating the work! and I love that they can deliver it 7/
but there's some nuance we're dropping. tc are the manufacturers here. they're extremely capable, and the vast, vast majority of the core of the thing was not only dreamt up but EXECUTED by them. many of the tasks they got help with were things they could've done but *wanted* specific help with! 6/
is what the ceo dipshits want with this narrative — the idea that a tiny team of office cocks who say "what if" can lob at full-fledged programmers (or better: AI!) and get a final product they get the credit for. I know. I have been the background bitch who literally made the thing. fuck that 5/
compare that to like a graphic designer making pins, contracting with a company that manufactures them overseas. in this case, the final product cannot exist without the manufacturing, as the artist isn't manufacturing and likely couldn't themselves. the layer of deep production is 4/
ABSOLUTELY the support and contractor staff deserve credit! but there is a fundamental difference between the creation and the support. it really does matter what the KIND of support is. polish, music performance, translation? all key and good! but — those are joyful additions. the luxury of help 3/
I've been on the support teams and I've been on the team of three. everyone who contributed absolutely made the game possible. but all of that joyful additional stuff was because the first game did well — if they were making it without that get, you would still have a great deal of it remaining 2/?
okay I've seen more of the discourse going around about this now and I'm not actually loving the origin point everyone who did things for it deserves credit, and fuck ceo narratives, but there really is a difference between a core team and support / contractors bear with me on this 1/?
I'm not getting into it because I don't want to waste my precious finite time on that shit but some of the discourse I'm seeing about certain (non-life-or-death) things is making me truly feral
YES this is the thing to do *especially* if the game is really fucked up
I still have to try the demo, shit! @tangerinecookie.bsky.social needs to disassemble me!
and a tasty non-single for you EP-enjoyers. it's weird! and also emotive! it's a whole ordeal, really... #bandcampfriday #music #bandcamp #friday #areyousickofthisyet decimae.bandcamp.com/album/floral...

(may he eat shit and burn in whatever straight hell is)
my phone split this headline right before the last word and for a second I was like "damn. he finally did something cool"
"making my way upskirt... (hm...)" - @parkdalecryptid.bsky.social
apparently Bandcamp Friday is tomorrow again splash around in my sonic depot
yeah no this game fucks I'd rather play the first five minutes of this than almost any other game full stop
WHAT DO YOU MEAN "ACT I"
I kind of laugh at the idea of a "reliable narrator". Have you met people?!
an experiment in interrupting the dark faint treadmarks of circular text
an experiment in interpreting the dark faint morning of the soul
saying things in a normal way in the morningtime is one of those don'ts I'm much exceedle ats if you are beloved enough to get incomprehensible morning slop, you have peered longways veilfucker and must indeed be celebrat
fuck this stupid fucking bullshit I'm so fucking done
I am also not going to share my thoughts on the politics of drag-as-spectacle-for-hetero-consumers courtesy of the fracker in chief and in the conflation the violence that engenders against GNC ppl generally and trans women specifically eitherrrrr
I am not going to verbalize my thoughts on the politics of white cis woman doing girl drag™ as performance persona but I am going to think them very, very loudly
There are no disability politics without Palestine, there is no Palestine without disability politics. Average leftist crows BDS and doesn’t wear a mask in the grocery store.
Watching the identical language of the ‘pre-existing condition’ and the ‘co-morbidity’ leveraged by Israel and laundered by American (& Canadian) media to hand wave Palestinian death away as some biologically innate inevitability instead of murder by the state. Yeah
harvest this, jabronis
(sweatsuits bigtimes voice) how the fuck with "gee em ohs" we don't got fields aplomb with fruiting meatsmallows?
So why do so many people shy away from anger to the point of telling other queers that they are doing queerness wrong by expressing anger....? It's the angry lesbians that get shit done. It's the angry people who CREATE the space for queer joy. There is no queer joy w/o queer anger.
Queer anger, queer frustration, and queer rage are so policed from within the community in a way that makes me question what the goals of some of these people are. Anger is powerful; it's an energizing and invigorating emotion. It's a motivating emotion. Without queer anger, we would have no rights.
time to get your mind out of the gagger I mean—
ohhhhhh godddddddd the rabies uptick has me so fucking scared in addition to every other stupid awful thing
only ball 😤
their names are San, Breach, and Poppy
oh god see I can the entire plot arc before me and it's already making me cry
god. I have games to make before I do this, lmao. but... mmm it gets even worse if it's a trio. there are so many ways I could make myself upset here. I keep thinking "surely this has been done." but... it probably hasn't been done literally trans, or as brutal as I want.
but it all has to be worth it to live as yourself, and the battle-torn body you have left has to be indulged in, hotly, with the whole of you as you. because even in the nightmare, they can't take our pleasure. even in the pit, we are our own.1
fact that even the most "elevated" flesh has an expiration date, and that the lived life is found in deeply enjoying each other. shit has to get scuffed. skin and steel need horrible interplay. some faschy checkpoint has to deactivate a limb, and it has to hurt and be hard to carry
like I would absolutely have two very different trans cyborgs with ailing flesh on the run from like. repo fascists. because their health insurance no longer covered their bodies. and they'd have to use them to kill and run, all while having to diy gruesome repairs and embrace the
interesting semantic debate I think if I was gonna make a horny trans machine game / fiction, it would have to be about cyborgs and not robots. there's so much more to work with if there's fallible meat in there, if your enhanced body is about strife more than power or assumed baseline
at this rate I'll hide a whole threadgame in the alt text
if that's the bar for gay robots then I need to make shit slutty
I typed "for" but go off, little Of
has someone made a robot game that looks like a gay club in the 90s yet I think it's finally time of assless robo-chaps
if I knew the answer I'd be a millionaire (million knowledge)
so what exactly should I brace for? I don't really have a solid mech baseline. like should I expect some primo zany shit like this?
cagey!! cagey!! like the feral splat of animal I am!!
okay so I heard about the sidewalk chalk bullshit but I didn't realize it was literally at Pulse every fascist all at once in the chute to hell, lined with gaping graters, unforgiving
I'm gonna be a cagey little fucker in that pocket box
introducing the new slutch mascot, Mr. Fashion!!
PFFFFFFT
disassemble me baby
Mechasus Wavermech
gogna turn me into a rorbit
me fuck. ffffff I can't afford a "game" game right now and don't know how to mech, but I'll cheer y'all on!
being a bit of a slut is an extremely vulnerable thing and I don't think it gets enough credit for that
today is a good day to repost this
LMAO SAME
scarier to love when you're born to die
one of the most irritating long-lasting effects of COVID for me is the thing where getting frustrated makes your whole body just hurt so much worse and exacerbates all your chronic shit so, so painfully
look I was like fine with it for a while but the more femme I realized I wanted to lean the more it fucked with me. they should cut that shit out. or. or wait, no, the opposite
finally, a good Ghost Rider
still mad every time that I realize that Dark Souls might in fact be a good game
even better, it was a rotted deer corpse with a piss jug in it

real normal hours
