i'm not sure what's causing me to get dissolved gold - likely an Astral modifier Tourmaline hitting max potency - but it's really incredibly useless and quite silly to have on screen. Delightful. Still has 4 potency value of 8, unlike the extremely funny Astral Gold Coin that i bought from the shop, which obviously combines up into a 4 potency value 16 Astral Gold chest.

Incredible to make a deeply touching story about a weird, desperate man hungry for any hope... and also have a cute little joke about how terribly he misses social cues when one of his closest friends probably has a crush on him as the tiniest little aside.

Glad we finally got around to playing this. How sweet and charming. All of the characters are very well written, though poor Nerissa is such an anxious little mess <3

A hint if you never finished the game - Sol said something helpful that you might have overlooked if you keep skipping past. Make sure you took the time to process it.

i have no idea if this is intentional but this very much burns to me of the sort of ache that defines I Saw the TV Glow, the denial, the agony of unbecoming. to comment only on the text when this subtext that isn't even clearly there brought me to tears would be absurd, as fantastic and aching as the absurd and fleeting agony of the text is. Thank you

this is so adorable... what a lovely sexy comic <3

whoahhh a whole game of Tamasatchi? maybe i don't need to keep grinding up past Mitzi in slogfests using the Saturday heal more ability in vivid/stasis...

I want to eat. I do. I don't see the maturity others see in me, i don't understand myselves more than surface level, we know scant little moderation. and we're hungry for something. The way she can never learn what she wanted before, what she agreed to... that's gorgeously written. thank you. sorry for leaving this comment while tired and vaguely dissociative. both are not at all the fault of the game, simply states we exist in at this moment in time.

This is a really powerful game, using its storytelling and visual themes very effectively to communicate about your trauma. I'm glad you are in a place to make this game. Thank you.

(Finishing comment, since i wrote the first part late)

I think the simple but strong visual language of this game is a perfect pairing for communicating about your trauma. It's clear what you want to say: not condemnation of SW or even of particular people (at least, not as a focus even for the john), but just an honest conversation with the viewer about your trauma. The way it intertwines with familial trauma and poverty. I can't imagine making this was easy for you, and I hope that making it and seeing it impact viewers and yourself helps you. I believe you deserve it. Again, thank you. Please be safe and be kind to yourself.
