<3 glad I could help!

another one on the Decker team 💖 that was really nice to read, I should probably check out Narrat at some point

It's a bit out of my usual field of interest. I never did any sports on a competitive level (I barely did sports on basic level lol) and I never learned how to swim (for health reasons). I have a rough time thinking about swimming at all since I almost drowned as a kid, but that's a whole another thing. Still, this was a good story. Made me think about how, once you become a professional athlete, your body stops belonging to you and rather becomes something your sport owns instead. I think that neatly ties itself with the way trans people are treated in the society and all.

And of course, the presentation and soundtrack are incredible, but if you ever played anything from the CD-RROM catalogue, you already expected that. 

oh good gods, being a mod of a server makes so much sense, you knew exactly how to write That Type Of Person. and thank you for the "long waffle", I always love to read what fellow authors have to say about their work!

I don't exactly have the energy these days to write long and elaborate essays about works but good fucking gods, that was neat. There's entirely too much to say about this, from the way disabled people are marginalized, through the question of how prone you can be to trusting just about anyone when you're in a vulnerable and lonely state, to the, well, Real Robotfucking, let's say. Neat. Really neat.

hiii everyone

this is an incredible thing and I love it

I knew this would make me sick but I didn't anticipate how deep it would hit. I hated playing this and will never play it again and this is a very big compliment because I think a part of reading this is the visceral discomfort with what's unfolding on your screen. Everyone go play it now, bye

So that made me really fucking nauseous oh my gods.

You know that feeling when you wake up after a nightmare and you just have to stare at the ceiling for a moment to calm down? That's what I experienced after finishing reading this. Good gods. Great work

I'm so sorry you have to deal with accusations like this, it's horrible

I was clicking on the blue text when I was testing if the zine works as it should, you're not alone in clicking the blue text

Oh, no, I meant that text-based games can't "lie to you" by hiding behind pretty visuals. The text itself should be free to lie as it pleases I think, within reason

that's absolutely messed up and I'm so sorry they treated you this way

I've been told to report on the 67 in Demo Meadows, which is a shame because I actually had a pretty good run and enjoyed it so far 

this week is making me so emotional

That was an INTENSE week, good gods

Awww, it's really been 100 days already?

Well, good thing they didn't, for example, discover a whole new city that they might want to have diplomatic ties with!

if anything bad happens to Jeremiah I'm gonna riot

I'm a sucker for "casual magic" where magic is being used for Regular Things. Fun little illusions for kids just got my heart

It's time for everyone to say "uh oh"!

I'm not really worried about Kitty being dead or something because you're correct, familiars are just spells. However, Kitty also seems to be a special case of a familiar which is constantly shifting, which is something we never encountered before, so I'm kind of worried Kitty simply won't come back the same. We don't know what the shifting barrier does. Also, they didn't say Kitty disappeared or anything — they just stated everyone is safe except for Kitty, which might as well mean something went wrong.

metaphorically fell to my knees what do you mean everyone is safe except for Kitty

KELLER AND SMYTHE ARE BACK 

"These kids and their stupid tablets" is a complaint that transcends the boundaries of worlds

I grinned so much while solving today's puzzle because I theorized about Interland and what it is really back at the start of December and today ended up somewhat confirming what I was thinking <3

I love my totally normal doll #mydoll

Dean Pierce is like "haha that was so cool. I mean, you shouldn't have done that and I hope you focus on your studies. *wink wink*"

REMY IS BACK <3

Lore accurate cat petting simulator. I think we need more of this everywhere

Why are we even holding this competition at this point if the obvious winner is right there?

It's one of those games which are hard to describe and are best personally experienced. It's portrait after portrait, piece of text after piece of text, and the feeling that you're never alone in an empty room.

I think I said it before but playing this really feels like watching a trainwreck in slow motion. This is absolutely a compliment

Absolutely incredible thing to play with your friends over chat. I never played anything like this and it'll stay in my head rent free

I still have my notes from playing this one somewhere and they make me look absolutely unhinged, which is an obvious landmark of a remarkable puzzle game

I know I talked about this one before (Velox buddies yay!) but I'll talk again: the visuals are incredible, the transitions are clever, the vibe is amazing, and I still can't believe it was your first Decker project.

I think the issue with people not downloading the remaster is fairly simple: it's not that people aren't interested, it's that they have a whole game available to them right now and the description actively discourages from downloading the remaster if you're interested in completing the game.

There are other developers doing remasters and expanded editions of their games and having separate pages for them (for example, my beloved Killer Chat, which has a page for the full original game and for the expanded edition) so I assume that it's allowed. Putting the remaster on a different page seems like a good move: it won't compete for attention with the old version, it essentially serves as a demo for the full remaster, and it has the potential to bring new people to the old version. 

This is actually so nice and wholesome, I love it

okay, VERY good point
