Game 91: StixWorld (1998), by Greg Alt & Sean Igo.

Disaster struck Susie's notepad so you, a stick figure, have to escape the world she drew to save it from being recycled. Easier said than done because it's been invaded by monsters and tanks that Susie's stupid brother drew.

The world you navigate is free form, not fixed to a 2D grid, with plenty of blind jumps if it weren't for the zoom out option. Very neat.

The controls are a bit stiff but, hey, you're a stick figure.

Screenshots don't do this game justice. It's so lively!

Cool tip for queer people this month: “if someone doesn’t think you’re a person, you don’t have to be nice to them”

Another month passes by and I got more cash from the folks who support my Patreon.

It always amazes me that there's people that care about my stuff enough to throw a buck or two my way, honestly.

If you wanna be one of those, check my Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/youfoundasecretarea

“What’s that, kid? You want to know the difference between a doll and an action figure? Oh, you’ll get lots of stories from lots of sources on that one. People who’ll say brushable hair or changeable clothing makes something a doll, and ignore all those full-size GI Joes with both. People who’ll say possibility makes an action figure—and here comes Made to Move Barbie, and fuck, is Barbie an action figure now?

One of my favourite Wingroove features is that it measures how good your PC is in terms of how many times faster it is than the developer's PC. My Windows 98 VM is 131 times faster, apparently.

Mistigam: in many jurisdictions, #Pride is celebrated in the month of June. It can be a lot to wrap your head around, especially this year, and it might just blow your mind... as depicted here in a #BBCMicro high resolution graphics animation by @pixelblip . This piece, "Together", was included in the MIST0822 artpack collection released last summer.

Playing Symphony of the Night on stream yesterday, I was thrown by this piece of music which showed up out of nowhere. What a tune!

I have no idea why the soundtrack suddenly changed from operatic melodies to 70s pop, but I have zero complaints.

(Does give me flashbacks to the half-horses that murderise you on sight, though.)
