"really wonderful relatable horrorshow. i was in a funk today but i think this 🔳 aspect ratio has rescued me <3" "This is remarkable - the most simultaneously impressed and unsettled I've ever been with a Bitsy game. Really impressive balance between clarity and noise, especially with the Bitsy visual constraints."
a gif of a sword with the word "BLINDSPOT" on it, being pulled out of an eye, reflecting back scenes of a work-home commute.

"yknow in the original 3 hours i made corpse o ganon in I was mostly thinking about ganon as a metaphor for the recurrence of facism, and like idk mussulinis daughter. but today, with the context of the racism inherent in the ganon myth, it feels more like the myth facism tells us every 20 years or so, of some new bad man in the desert we suddenly uave a moral imperitive to obliterate and take the oil from. dominant ideologies and state enemies baked into even our most whimsicle media. western imperialism is haunted to violent paranoia by fear of vengeance from its subjects.
