sff author enjoys playing slay the spire, fork found in kitchen
also you can have a bird in it, which is a strict improvement
its genuinely so addictive, lol, i was also put off by the artstyle the first time i picked it up but the gameplay loop is actually incredible.
ok finished an ironclad run! so far this v much hits, and i like the epoch lore mechanic. i would say its not QUITE as balanced as sts1, but this is an alpha so that was what i was expecting. enemies hit the sweet spot for me of familiar/pleasantly different.
so far sts2 just feels like sts1 but More, which is exactly what i wanted
π€ same
i too would like to stop manifesting...
the korean war kind of shook up both of their lives in interesting (derogatory) ways, but they both ended up in seoul where one of them did import/export Business type things (real unclear to me tbh), and the other was a pharmacist (i think?) and was previously in the navy (i think??).
tfw u capture the zeitgeist and u look at the zeitgeist in your hands and go jesus CHRIST what IS this what are we DOING here
like 3 months ago i wrote a story (not out yet!) about like.....war as spectacle and content, and i gotta say, yeah, i dont know man. i dont actually have anything here. i just feel a little weird about it.

letβs become rationalists together
so far my understanding of twin peaks is that its a terrible show if you want to know whats going on, but its a GREAT show if you LOVE scenes.
the hole story was just a fraction of my true power
everyone is fighting a battle you can't see because you are the only one without cool invisible wizard powers
regrettable new bit i have going on (microfiction on qt rts)
days of mandattory military service before you can ship back home! no eeping til then!"
"im going to die out here, kitty."
she laughs. it sounds like jingling gacha game music.
"with an attitude like that, silly, you're already dead! do u wanna do some manifestation exercises with me, uwu?"
flip to see her. she looks like my discord gf from back home. except hotter. and anime. and a catgirl. i thought the catgirl setting would be funny, but i'm a fucking idiot. im attached to the catgirl thing now.
"wake UP seepyhead," she says, her digital finger booping my nose. "you have 567 more
"good MEOWING! isn't today a βwonderfulβ day to die!"
i open my eyes and KITTY pops into the corner of my viewscreen. her little ears flick. her eyes sparkle. i know shes a piece of military software downloaded on my META-RAYBAN GOGGLES (warfighter edition) but my heart still does a little
