happy friday the 13th here are some spooky text-based games for halloween:

contrition - As a priest, it’s your job to listen to your parishioners’ darkest secrets and absolve their guilt. But when a sinister stranger comes to the confessional one Halloween night, you realize it’s your soul on the line.

familiar - You are a familiar. Your mistress has some requests for you. Help her complete her ritual, or pay the price of failure.

jagged bone - A branching choose-your-own-adventure horror game about transformation and perspective. 

the forest of candles (and the man with a lighter) - follows Maggie, a young woman with a fear of forest fires sparked by an old town folk tale. She's spent years trying to escape her hometown and the fear it inspires in her, only to be called back for the funeral of an old friend.

mary's hare - Mary's Hare is short interactive horror story about a woman and a rabbit, based on the story of Mary Toft.

only this - "And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming / And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor..."

what girls do in the dark - a slumber party text adventure.

god is in the radio - you are death, one of 22 members of the major arcana, a cult dedicated to some far-off god. the night is halloween, and you watch in scorn as the unknowing dance among devils and dress to indulge in sin. the high priestess receives a message from the all-mighty himself: the arcana must gather in an abandoned house and find his song on an old radio receiver.

anchorhead - Travel to the haunted coastal town of Anchorhead, Massachusetts and uncover the roots of a horrific conspiracy inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft. Search through musty archives and tomes of esoteric lore; dodge hostile townsfolk; combat a generation-spanning evil that threatens your family and the entire world. (illustrated version on itch.io)

my father's long, long legs - An interactive horror story about family, unease, and loss.

beneath floes - Qikiqtaaluk, 1962. The sun falls below the horizon and won't return for months. You wander the broken shoreline, wary of your mother's stories about the qalupalik. Fish woman, stealer of wayward children: she dwells beneath the ice.

the silence under your bed - An interactive horror collection about the strange, the spooky, and the macabre. 

bogeyman - You can go home when you learn to be good.

Yesterday a friend of mine asked if card games are my favorite type of game.

I almost said yes, but then I thought:

Cards aren't really a genre of game. Instesd, they're a game component that opens up a multitude of different ways to structure a game. 7 Wonders, Pokemon TCG, and Poker all use cards in radically different games. You can't just label all of them in the same category based on their shared medium; that'd be like saying you like all books or all video games with health bars.

But I said yes anyway, because I do in fact love all 3 of the aforementioned games AND I just really like the fact that cards are self-contained "rule boxes". Very modular. Very demure.

Cards are an S tier game component. Perhaps even the best game component. Is there any game component, physical or otherwise, that even comes close to the versatility and usefulness of cards?

And don't say dice, they're just number generators. Cards can do that too. No, I don't care if they're pretty math rocks, cards are still better. Stay mad.

hello would you consider making a tutorial for diy pins :)

Yes yes i can, i have some stuff goin on today but i think ill have time later in the afternoon (at least in my time itll be afternoon) so later today ill try and put it out

Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (Nintendo 3DS):

“Second 3DS game that I’ve reviewing and it’s the first time I ever finished a Legend of Zelda game. I admit that I’ve been a stranger to these games for the longest time, but in the last few years I’ve been giving it a chance. I’ve played a bit of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and enjoyed it and would like to beat it someday. I’ve also played Phantom Hourglass and absolutely adored that game. I was planning to play that game but I found this one for a cheaper price and decided to get that one instead. This is quite a fun game. The story is your typical “must save Zelda and friends in order to save your region” type of concept. What makes this game so special is the gameplay. You play as Link and you can use your sword and other items as weapons, your shield to defend and different tools for diverse sections. This game focus a lot on the different tools, so make sure you buy/rent everything that Ravio has to offer. Unlike most Zelda games, in this one you can merge into walls, which makes Link look like a painting. In this form, you’re able to walk on walls (this is a really useful and important gimmick for the whole game). This game is not very linear, so prepare yourself for a lot of exploration, specially on the second half of the game. Graphics wise, this is a pretty game. Really dig some of the small details they added around. The music is pretty decent.

Overall, this is one fun game, and thanks to it that I definily want to play more Legend of Zelda games and review them in the future. I’m definily looking forward to buy Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time (3DS version). It’s a fun game but it can get boring at times. There isn’t much for you to do in this game besides collecting treasure (which usually contain rupees) and to save mini Maimais. “

the yugioh wiki list of deaths is funny because its like a list of all the insane fucked things that happen in the manga and it's always like "was sent to the shadow realm in the 4kids anime" like the localization team looked at that and was like we're not even gonna go there
