I asked, ya'll voted: And it looks to be another year of Game Stream for Monkey Island Appreciation week!
Once again, no, I will not play Escape. Maybe next year when I'm feeling a bit more brave (and have more patience with its RNG nonsense). And Curse isn't on the list because I streamed that last year for appreciation week and I don't think ya'll want to see Curse. Again.
*=Because it’s Episodic, means I’ll play one or two of the chapters. Not the whole thing. If this gets voted, I’ll make a poll for which episode.
So pick your pirate!

February 2024 Wrapup
Hey hang on, this month normally fits nicely into the schedule with standard numbers! Who put an extra day in this Smooch Month? I guess that means that this year, the year is just a little extra smoochy! But those four weeks and an extra, they are past us and now it is time to reflect on what happened this month, and what I wrote.
If you check this blog periodically, you might have missed all sorts of interesting articles just because, you know, discoverability is hard.
For once I wasn’t completely hosed trying to come up with smoochy games for Smooch Month! I actually had other things that I think I’m going to bump to next year’s Smooch Month and they’ll be, like, still relevant, how cool is that?
Dream Crush, a voting board game that makes that venerable game mechanic really interesting.
Ouendan (Video), a video article on my beloved videogame Ouendan. This is an update and expansion of an older article. I made a flag transition in this one!
Thirsty Sword Lesbians, a TTRPG about inclusivity that made me feel alienated in how reads and presents its player actions.
Hinedere Beat, a lovely little parkour platformer that made me think about a lot of words I don’t use. This one winds up talking about the Nazis!
That’s not all though, because if you check the Talen and Fox playlist, you’ll find that we also played through The Secret of Monkey Island! We selected that one because, even as a 90s point and clicker, it still represented an interesting take on a character relationship, and a girl who is interested in a boy and it’s clear why.
There were also a bunch of story pile articles, talking about smoochy movies and anime!
D.E.B.S., part of our Positronic Collection viewing. It’s a movie about silly spies, and it’s also actually factually about a queer couple!
Tomo-Chan is a Girl, an extremely mid anime that I appreciate because of how much better it made other mediocre anime look!
A Tail of Love, a Hallmark movie, with Fox as guest spot, which we’re happy to watch this time because it’s just boring and doesn’t feature dog theft.
Insomniacs After School, an anime I really love about two people with a common, down to earth problem, and the way the world looks when you can share it with just one person.
That’s not all the articles you can read (or watch, or listen to!) here on press dot exe! I also wrote about a whole range of other topics, and I think these articles are worth a second look if you missed them!
As it was Smooch month, I wrote about a bunch of stuff relating to romance. I checked out some old media’s examples of that, like in the Transformers episode The Girl Who Loved Powerglide, or the Animorphs shipping couple of Tobias and Rachel in Can A Bird Love a Falcon. I feel like that joke is a little too subtle. I also reflected on a romantic anime of my youth, and how modern discourse are replicating old conversations with The Ranma 1/2 Subreddit is Repeating History, and that then built out idea space for a consideration of the commonality between Homestuck and Ranma 1/2 with Homestuck 1/2. And since we’re talking anime I reflected on how much I liked the anime Shikimori’s Not Just A Cutie because of how it represented non-het, non-mono romance even though it absolutely does represent that with The Unhinged Performative Heteronormativity of Shikimori’s Not Just A Cutie.
Rounding that out and with a slightly darker take, I also wrote about my experience observing fundamentalist churches interacting with some of the hardest experiences couples have with Fundie Divorce, and then reflected on the way we’ve been ‘told’ relationships should work with an article about the history of Remote Romance.
Finally, I spent some time on D&D related stuff, looking at Sanders and Danube from Cobrin’Seil as places who could represent Yuri, and the strange commonality of Love Potions as purchaseable devices and what that meant about the world and its economy. I also wrote 4e for Two, as an article about how you might want to arrange the game for a two player experience.
Also, if you’re a fan of my custom magic cards, I put out two articles about this year’s Magic The Gathering set Vox Maxima: cards and story.
This month I made a shirt that tried to wed my familiarity with overly ornate stained glass from Wealthy Church Members’ doors and high-up windows, and also my love for easy geometry.
If you want, you can get this design on a sticker, or a shirt!
February is the last month of summer here, and the weather has become more extreme. Hot days are hotter, and then they’re punctuated with heavy, rainy days. The humidity in my area is a constant part of summer days, because I’m near two bodies of water. The sun hits the water, the water fills the air and the temperature can’t get too high because of that. Means the weather report says ‘oh yeah it’s like 29 degrees’ and that’s not so bad but then you check and it’s 80-90% humidity. The result is now that weather forecasts in my area include the stat ‘feels like’ and that has hovered around the mid 30s pretty consistently.
It’s not like it’s the hottest place in the world — I can just imagine people assering ‘well it’s over 40 in’ — and I don’t care. What I care about is how not being able to sleep has messed with my everything. Sleeping and eating are the two things that I keep thinking about when it comes to this time – I don’t do things that involve cooking heavily in the oven, because of the weather and all, and sometimes I’m up until 3 in the morning just because I can’t sleep and then I spend that time being unhappily watching biblical documentaries. I guess in the context of food I’ve been eating a lot of lentils? I got that point where I stopped buying canned lentils and started buying dried lentils (in a mix) and just keeping a little tub of them in the fridge soaking in water so any time I want to make A Food, I will just grab some of the lentil mix and use that instead of like, minced meat or chicken.
I have however, spent every week of this month aggressively getting words into my literature review, which I glibly call to my friends ‘The Word Pit.’ Every week has had a section drafted, with the attempt to make a schedule that gets my production up to pace for when the semester starts. I feel good about this pace of change, and I feel good about getting this kind of progress going, but it does also mean that every day I feel like I wake up and I have to generate two piles of words and this blog is the much easier one to generate.
Friends have gone through some rough stuff this month. Not putting their stuff on the streets, but it’s happened and I’ve been trying to be there for my friends while also acknowledging that I need to generate a few thousand words a day for an incredibly important project.

It's Almost That Time Of Year Again
Every year, I've done a Monkey Island Appreciation Week. A small thing to give the series a much appreciated kiss on the cheek and pat on the head for being an excellent series. Last year, however, I asked ya'll between a week of prompts or a stream of a game and I feel it's only fair to once again bring it back for ya'll to pick.
For new comers... this is what it entails:
Prompt Week - Every day for a week (usually around July), I put up a prompt for someone to go meta, draw, gif or what have you in response to the prompt. Here are the years prior prompts.
Game Stream - I put up a poll which game ya'll want to see me stream and we can all actively gush about the game. Spoilers are naturally off because this is an appreciation week so why pretend we don't know what's coming? Last year, Curse of Monkey Island won so we streamed that.

I apologize in advance for making this into a separate post, but I woke up to this notification and literally spent the drive thinking about this on loop and was trying to properly think of what to say but instead it was just me internally screeching.
But really, that has always been a goal of mine, to make a space where it's encouraged to be able to gush and ramble and so on about something someone loves. And that has always been the goal of Monkey Island Appreciation Week: to be able to gush unapologetically about the series, sharing thoughts and fun facts and stories and so on, and last night's stream (or rather, Monday and Wednesday's streams) was just an absolute blast to listen and share stories about the game, but this? This is the biggest reminder for me on why I do this every year.
Because it's something fun and enjoyable and just... I don't really have the right words (I say having rambled for two nights and typing this haha), but this is the biggest compliment I had ever received and it's the biggest boost to do it again next year.
So really, thank you and everyone else for sharing those two days with me~

Stream is done for the night!
And that is a wrap on Monkey Island Appreciation Week 2024! We laughed, bonded, and I ranted about Guybrush’s character. And we watched him die.
Again.
Thank you to all who part-took the vote and joined the stream and made another year of gushing about this series a blast! I always get reminded why I love this series the way I do and I hope you all enjoyed it as well.
Friday, unless something comes up, has us back in Japanifornia as Apollo Justice as we pick up Spirit Of Justice.
Until then, see ya!

We went to pirate court where I ended up clicking every wrong button imaginable (and yet no attorneys badge in sight), we talked a lot about tales and return, I rambled a lot and we managed to break both Guybrush and Morgan... but we're not done!
Thanks to everyone who dropped by, I'll pick things up again on Wednesday 8:30pm EST where we will continue Monkey Island Appreciation Day.... week.
Until then, see ya!

Let's Pick a Tale!
Ya'll did wonderful and voted! Tales is the game we will be streaming for the Monkey Island Appreciation Week!
Buuuuuut... which tale? I did say if Tales won, I will put another poll for which episode (and, once again, there will be spoilers so ye be warned).
Plot synopsis below the readmore
Launch of the Screaming Narwhal
When the showdown goes up in flames, Guybrush finds himself marooned on a strange island with winds that always blow inward. How will our hero manage to escape this meteorological anomaly? What has become of LeChuck and Elaine? And what's the story with the infectious voodoo pox that's spreading across the Caribbean, causing Guybrush and other pirates to act like unruly hooligans?
Siege of Spinner Cay
Guybrush's adventures continue on the high seas as pox-plagued pirates lay siege to the innocent Mer-People. In between defending the Mer-People and dodging the persistent pirate hunter hot on his trail, Guybrush manages to catch up to his beloved wife and despised arch-nemesis — but their reunion is short-lived. Now Guybrush must focus on eradicating the Pox of LeChuck before more harm can be done.
Lair of the Leviathan
Trapped in the belly of the beast, our hero encounters a surprising band of castaways, including the long-lost (and obsessive-compulsive) explorer Coronado De Cava. Can the Mighty Pirate win the suspicious De Cava's trust? Will pirate hunter Morgan LeFlay prove to be a ruthless enemy, or an unlikely ally? Will the group find La Esponja Grande in time to save Elaine from the rampant Pox of LeChuck? And will the world be crushed by the gnashing teeth of a certain demonic skull?
The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood
Guybrush returns to Flotsam Island, but forget about a hero's welcome. Handed over to De Singe by the backstabbing Morgan LeFlay, Guybrush is seized by an angry mob and put on trial! With a silk-tongued prosecutor in his face and a hangman's noose dangling over his neck, Guybrush must figure out how to defend himself against grave accusations. Meanwhile, the determined Marquis sets his sights on a new and far more attractive test subject. How on earth will the Mighty Pirate get out of this mess?
Rise of the Pirate God
Our piratey heroes meet their ultimate match with the Rise of the Pirate God. Can the world of Monkey Island be saved? Find out as the Tales of Monkey Island saga comes to its thrilling conclusion.
