"It's just not my cup of tea" is one of my favorite phrases of all time. It's polite. It conveys that you don't like a thing without conveying any judgment of the thing. It includes tea. More people should use it

i fucking hate it when a movie or a tv show does some shit where a character has a shitty dad and another character tells them to forgive him because. "it's your dad". that means nothing. more people should be killing their fathers.

it bothers me that you often don't really hear about people having a "favorite album" the way they might have a favorite movie or favorite video game

The first half of I Am Your Beast is really good.

Stages 1-5? Yeah.

6-17? Now there’s Byron, now there’s more traps & weapons: now it’s even better than before.

18-27? This. This is incredible. Just a tour de force of game design. Ends on the highest note it can manage, voice cracking beautifully as it revels in every toy in its toolbox, all while paying off the narrative with some truly great moments.

This is to say, the second half of I Am Your Beast isn’t just really good, it’s phenomenal.

And I’ve still got a bunch of challenge levels to sink my teeth into! What more could anyone want from it.

this was Good Luck, Babe for men

[Image ID: Fanart of the characters Alphonse Harding and Byron Ford from I Am Your Beast, an indie first-person-shooter game. The drawing is an interpretation of the scene where Harding removes the tracking chip from Ford's leg. Alphonse, posed on his knees in the snow, facing the viewer, is a black man wearing mostly repurposed, camo colored cold-weather military clothing, which contrasts with his bright blue scarf and blue beanie. His face is faintly scarred. His expression, however, is calm and focused. Ford is posed half-laying down on the ground beside Harding, straddling him, with one leg hitched up into Harding's lap and the other behind him. Ford has pale skin and dark eyes, but the rest of his features are obscured by the bulky tan pilot's uniform he wears. He props himself up with one arm, upon which he also wears a pink mitten. Notably, he and Harding wear the same C.O.I. red goggles and ear defenders. Ford's expression is pained- his hair clings to his face with sweat despite the snow- but he's smiling. Harding is using a hunting knife to slice into Ford's leg, though most of this action is obscured by the placement of Harding's hands, which cradle Ford's leg. Harding's thumb is raised to wick blood away from the incision wound. In dialogue bubbles, ford says, in shaky text, "It's weird. I'm watching you cut me, but I can't feel it." and Harding replies, with a small and matter-of-fact looking speech bubble, "That's shock." The image is on a gray background, roughly shaded to evoke dense snowfall, and both characters have condensation clouds forming from their breath. Their poses lean together in a way that is vaguely heart shaped. The top right corner has an abandoned rough sketch of Harding aiming a gun. I tried making this image ID as homoerotic as the image cuz i wanted to capture just how gay this scene from the game was. did it work? End ID]

Finished "I AM YOUR BEAST" tonight and got so overwhelmed I drew Harding in MS paint

I love finding media where the queer happens and you stumble into it, like reverse queerbaiting where nobody tells you about it until you're in the trenches of watching two guys with guns call each other babe over the intercom.

This is about I Am Your Beast. I'm talking about I Am Your Beast. And Titanfall 2 if you know what I mean ;)

the trick for enjoying a new video game is avoiding the internet’s opinion on it

Itch.io Releases AI Disclosure Tag

Itch.io has their store edit pages to include an AI disclosure toggle, asking if your project contains the results of generative AI. Each option adds a tag to your project: "Yes" automatically assigns the AI-Generated tag, while "No" automatically assigns the No AI tag. Assets comprised of generative AI (even if modified afterwards) that are not tagged will no longer be eligible for indexing on their browse pages.

You can read more about this here.

This system should allow users to filter the tags that they don't want to see in their search options. If you have a project on Itch, I recommend checking your Edit pages and completing the AI Disclosure!
