Is anyone having that mental withdrawal cuz you haven’t drawn your favourite ships in so long that you can feel something viscous brewing? Like serious "give me a sketchbook and a week of free time I will fill that book up you have no idea-"

Duskfade completed.

This game is *delightful.* A hallmark of PS2-era action platformers (with evident Kingdom Hearts homages), it just *feels* great to play, bolstered by absolutely incredible art and a captivating world. The story, while solid, is simple and predictable almost instantly.

What a sturdy narrative structure is "get a bunch of people and a detective in a single room and have them contentiously arguing about who did it"? It feels like a cliché, but handled adroitly with ingenuity and wit, it always works.

Put on a "Best of Indie 2023" playlist and slowly realised that there must have been a significant chunk of the music industry dedicated to replicating my ossified mid-2000s tastes this whole time. This must be what baby boomers feel like all the time?

Wackiest mystical shit I actually believe:
Space-time has a 4-dimensional crystalline structure which conventional perception obscures, as its perception is inimical to biological survival, at least of our species. It can, however, be perceived under the influence of psychedelics.

Paradise Lost

Paradise Lost

@paradise-lost.bsky.social

Of goats or timorous flock
together thronged
Drove them before him
thunder-struck, pursued
With terrours, and with
furies, to the bounds
And crystal wall of Heaven;
which, opening wide,
Rolled inward, and a spacious
gap disclosed

VI, 857-861
