Friday night itch.io gaming
Jun. 17th, 2023 06:22 pmThe past few Friday evenings, I've found myself poking around the free games on itch. All the horror games I tried a couple of weeks ago turned out to be duds, but sometimes it's nice to play short free games and find the neat ones. And I have found a couple I really liked: Blackout, a point-and-click with nice art set in a creepy house with a neat little twist, and Trace, one of those 'escape the room by doing puzzles that are everywhere for no real reason' games that used to be everywhere, but set on an atmospheric space moon and with overall pretty good puzzles.
Been listening to the Promare soundtrack and have the urge to rewatch it again. After some digging, I found JP subtitles for it (mistimed but still), so when I do I can use it as Japanese practice :D
I'm taking off next Friday even though Con.txt won't be starting until the evening because why not. (Kind of curious if the recent OTW stuff is going to come up there given a couple of the panel topics... I've always been under the impression that the general Con.txt crowd was much more gung-ho about the OTW/AO3 than I've ever been, but it's pretty clear that a lot of people are rightfully very upset about the recent revelations. I mean, I'm still using AO3 because I'm not sure any of the alternatives fit what I want/need in a fic archive at the moment, but I don't feel great about it. I would like the OTW leadership to turn itself around if we yell at them enough about how badly they have fucked up, but it's not good and I'm all for other archives being made.)
