Half meme half being real: it’s a red flag if ur partner doesn’t want to play Nancy Drew games with you/doesn’t let you talk about them/doesn’t watch you play them etc.

For me it showed me that my partner didn’t want to know or understand my interests/the things I’m passionate about. My hyperfixations (i.e. Nancy Drew, Pajama Sam, other video Games) are a really big part of who I am and to understand these hyperfixations or show interest in them is to understand and show interest in me.

hello fellow clue crew members this is your yearly reminder that even though this is a blog about children's video games and I am almost never here anymore I will still block your ass if you are hateful or a clown

I saw you mentioning it and I gotta admit I'm shocked the Clue Crew hasn't latched onto Lockwood and Co. It seems like it'd be right up everyone's alley.

IT REALLY WOULD AND SHOULD BE. It's genuinely so perfect. Ghosts, mystery-solving teens, found family, the best combination of chaotic and loveable personalities.

@naancypants, @an-american-teen-against-crime, @professorhotchkissesta, and @nednickersonsgf and I are all obsessed already. God bless you and welcome to the group, anon ♡

CLUE CREW. THIS IS ANOTHER SIGN FOR YOU TO WATCH LOCKWOOD AND CO. ON NETFLIX!

“Ah sorry I’m just dumb” (having ADHD my whole life has meant that I’ve been criticised heavily for making mistakes that come part and parcel with the condition. Even the people I love most in the world have chastised me for mistakes that I spend much of my life worrying about and trying to avoid. It’s much easier to tell you I’m just a silly guy than explain to you that no matter how much effort, how much thought, how much stress I put into avoiding these same mistakes, I will keep making them over and over again. My brain is structurally built to thwart me throughout it all.)

If I followed you from this blog it’s because even though it’s a Nancy Drew side blog it’s officially my main blog and tumblr won’t let me undo that.

Here are my other blogs and what they’re for:

@charliebraincharliebrain - personal, venting, navigating the intersections of my identities as a queer trans neurodivergent latine adoptee!

@citruspeterquince - nsfw, mostly t4t reposts

@humongousentertainer - Humongous Entertainment (Pajama Sam, Spy Fox, Putt Putt, Freddi Fish, etc) side blog

@thewalkerofmanymoons - Walk the Moon band side blog, not really that active but sure exists

@nancy-out-of-context-drew - my out of context Nancy Drew side blog passion project I come back to once every six months lol

@charliebabybear SFW age regression/inner child healing stuff

I just finished What Remains of Edith Finch and I’ve been in floaty mode for like three days

I'm so obsessed with those very specific type of thought provoking first-person indie games that change you in some way and leave you feeling floaty for a while

…psychiatry assumes that society does not cause distress in biologically normal people, who are considered biologically normal at least in part because they are economically productive. This assumption permits the conclusion that if a person is distressed to the point of unproductivity, it is because that person—not society—is abnormal. Thus, psychiatry’s commitment to biological essentialism not only masks the role of the constructed sociopolitical environment in creating distress but depoliticizes it by characterizing that allegedly irrational distress as induced by biological abnormality.

Poems & Codes Playtest Update!

Huge thanks to everyone who has played the Poems & Codes demo and given feedback! The demo has been updated with a brand new Theme Selection screen and some fancy effects.

For those who don't know, Poems & Codes is a sequel/companion game to Prose & Codes. Both games are all about cryptograms (also known as substitution ciphers, like those in the journal from Ransom of the Seven Ships)!

Explore the wonderful world of poetry through deceptively simple cryptograms. Use your knowledge of the English language to decrypt 30 poem excerpts in the demo from a range of classic poetic themes (like love, death, childhood, etc).

The game has a light mode & a dark mode (default), and I'm curious which one players prefer. I'm also looking to gauge how well the game is optimized on various hardware, so if you have to turn off any visual effects to make the game run better, please let me know!

Once you solve a poem, you can read the poet's biography and download their anthology FOR FREE through Project Gutenberg (we will donate 10% of profits to them once the game is sold)!.

You can download the FREE demo for Windows/Mac/Linux here: https://herogameco.itch.io/poemsandcodes

Feedback of any kind is welcome! Did the tutorial make sense? Did you find the new "Select a Theme" screen intuitive? Just didn't like something about the game? Please let us know!

Post feedback on our itch message board, DM me on tumblr, email us at herogameco@tutanota.com, or fill out our anonymous feedback survey here: https://forms.gle/nEhW7jEabrtfCiCh8

Thanks for checking it out and I hope you enjoy!
