I used the story feature to create an evil butler-vampire with the generated name “Atticus Kitchen” and I love him. Read more

An update for anyone who’s interested: I accidentally left Milk Maid’s house on Story Progression mode, which means she carried on living while I was off cooking up other Sims sex stories. Sadly, she died a while back, but now her descendants - all with the last name “Maid”, all with pasty white skin - continue to Read more

I mean, someone else did the fridging... I just didn’t complain Read more

Aw, this all happened long before DLC, and I can’t go back now... I’m too torn up from the experience. Read more

I’ve heard a lot of “correct” octopus plurals, but bless you for being the only person who’s ever counted the legs. Read more

The only non-porn thing about it is that you actually sort the mail. Does anyone ever get their pipes fixed in porn, or does the plumber leave straight after the sex? Read more

I’m covering for the moment, and they’re coming, don’t worry! Read more

The problem with writing this is that it seems like the NYT games team are trying to reinvent the wheel, which is to say that people only want the handful of games they’ve been playing for years... So there weren’t really any “new” games to showcase, since they weren’t successful enough during playtesting :( Read more

As other people have pointed out, Dead Cells was in the 2018 IGF, which I *think* disqualifies it from being submitted again. Read more

The game didn’t make me nauseous, but a feature-length movie might... Read more

Honestly, I don’t think you’re missing much—I think I gave it a 6/10 back when it came out. Read more
