Coord Breakdown: July 1st, 2023
Now that I've got a dedicated lolita blog, I'll be posting and discussing some of my coords, starting with a few from the past. This one's one of my personal favorites, and very meaningful to me.
JSK: Handmade
Blouse: Offbrand
Waist cincher: Handmade
Headbow: Handmade
Veil: Fanplusfriend
Choker: Handmade (sort of)
Necklace: Offbrand indie
Bracelets: Offbrand
Socks: Offbrand
Boots: Offbrand
Full breakdown under the cut.
This coord is a big milestone for me. It's my first handmade JSK (not counting a failed attempt from years earlier), and my first time using my own custom fabric!
I designed the fabric in the summer of 2022, and had it printed via Spoonflower. It's themed around Castlevania, a favorite game series of mine (and one that has quite the interesting history with lolita! Did you know Mana composed a ringtone to promote Harmony of Dissonance that is now lost media?). Each of the stained glass windows depicts one of the subweapons used throughout the games (plus wall chicken), which are also repeated as a motif inside the stripes. If you look closely, you can also see the modern and retro Castlevania logo incorporated into the surrounding glass. Beneath the windows are gravestone-like blocks, each with the name of a game's protagonists and the year the game takes place. At the hem is a quote that has been attributed to a number of people, including Winston Churchill, but is notably said by Alucard and Richter at the end of Symphony of the Night. Finally, above the border print is a pair of wall-mounted candles, which can be found throughout Castlevania and destroyed to gain ammo or other upgrades. According to IGA, these candles contain the restless spirits of Dracula's victims, who drop upgrades as thanks for freeing them from the castle.
Here are some closeups, one of which is in the black colorway! I've got four different colorways available on Spoonflower, each inspired by a different character (Richter, Alucard, Juste, and Maria). You can find them here. The fabric I chose for my JSK is poly crepe de chine.

But enough fabric talk. Have at you!
The cut of the JSK is based on Bodyline's Skull in Wonderland JSK, which I've owned for years now; It's simple and fits me well, so I figured using it as a template would be the most effective way to make a good JSK for myself without too much hassle. Making clothes based on existing garments you own is a tried-and-true method in fashion design and home sewing.
I actually debuted the JSK about a month earlier while on vacation, with a different coord:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
However, I couldn't help feeling that it was a bit lackluster. After much thought and advice from friends, I decided to spruce things up and give it another try at the then-upcoming renfaire.
This time I used one of my summer blouses, an offbrand peasant top I got at Rainbow forever ago- I think the brand is Ambiance? I also bought a set of bracelets (also from Rainbow, and they've now become a staple of my wardrobe), and a pair of black lace-topped OTKs in place of the plain black tights I'd worn before. For the rest of the jewelry, I wore a glittery purple bat necklace I'd bought from a renfaire vendor years ago (I wish I knew the name!! If anyone recognizes it please let me know!), and a scrap of black lace with a small safety pin through the back as a choker.
Finally, the remaining accessories. I made a wired headbow out of leftover fabric from the dress, with a beaded chain in front. I wore this over a veil from Fanplusfriend. As for the waist cincher, I made it out of stretch pleather and lace, along with black fabric to tie in the back. I used gold acrylic paint to add a nice patina to the leather, and hand-painted our pal Simon Belmont in a coordinating color scheme. My parents said it looks like a wrestling belt, lol.
Tumblr media
Regarding the boots, I know damn well that the renfaire grounds are muddy and uneven, so I wore a pair of riding boots I originally bought for a Joseph Joestar cosplay way back in the day. Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a little bit for practicality's sake.
All in all, I'm very proud of how this coord came out. It was really amazing seeing something I designed come to life, and working hard to make it truly beautiful. I hope this inspires other folks to try their hand at designing and making lolita!

Summer Vibes: Iris Blue Drops “Evergreen” "Evergreen," by the Windy City's own Iris Blue, is a track that sizzles with summertime fervor while artfully weaving in strands of introspection amidst its sunny disposition. From the first catchy riff, it feels like you've been scooped up and plopped down at an offbeat beach party where everyone is just too cool for school. https://open.spotify.com/track/1yEpsTQ1p7Bbw43pZ5z9D5 Vocally, our enigmatic lead singer serves up spoonfuls of charm with a dash of gritty vulnerability that seem to embody the essence of hipster-chic meets indie-rock nonchalance – think vibrant shades on an overcast day. As his voice dances upon waves of upbeat instrumentation, there’s this sense of holding back; each line delivered comes across as cautiously optimistic, though undeniably infectious. Instrumentally speaking, "Evergreen" has all the makings of your next earworm; those guitar licks hit every emotional string like they're trying to win something at a county fair game booth—and sometimes they do. Meanwhile, drums? Tasty doesn't even begin to cover it! They pop and sizzle beneath fingers and sticks as if each beat intends to start its very own summer fling. [caption id="attachment_52780" align="alignnone" width="960"] Summer Vibes: Iris Blue Drops “Evergreen”[/caption] Speaking purely from production value—it’s crispier than freshly fried bacon at Sunday brunch. The balance found here strikes between raw energy and polished soundscaping. While wrapped in modernity, there's also this retro vibe that conjures nostalgia without outright copying past eras' homework—an auditory magic trick only few can pull off so deftly. Yet within these bursts of sun-kissed choruses lies murky lyrical depth—a pool reflecting images both familiar and strange—of hesitant conversations under vivid skies casting shadows on half-heartedly nursing drinks brushing against bold hues warning signs dressed in disguise as festive garb. Amidst those charged riffs lie complexities that invite listeners not just onto the dance floor but into contemplation's quiet corner where feeling becomes thinking—where emotion wrestles cognition into submission or maybe alliance—who knows? That ambiguity makes "Evergreen" relishable repeat button fodder leaving us suspended somewhere between 'just one more time' and existential musings about what we say when we're saying nothing at all. Follow Iris Blue on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. Supported by Musosoup #SustainableCurator

With 534 wickets in the ODI stage, he overtook Wasim Akram’s 502 runs. He holds the world record for most Test wickets and ODI wickets as well.

His side won 27 matches without defeat and is considered one of the most successful Test captains ever.įormer Australian cricketer Dennis Lillee was an avid fast bowler of his time.

We recorded this episode on Halloween Eve last year in AMITYVILLE and it was the best old school Disney film to pod about that time of year.
Dan is a pro wrestler and a comic. He also goes to Disney World all the time so it was great to hear about his park adventures. Lots of weird funny things in this movie and we had a blast pointing it out.

FIVE ALBUMS YOU NEED IN YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW!!!
aka, My Top 5 of 2020, but I didn’t want to seem too retro!
Yep, I have a classic rock blog. Yep, I think that the best rock and roll in history is being made RIGHT NOW. And yep, ALL of it is being made by women. 
(Shown at top, Nova Twins by Ant Adams [x] and The Tissues by Michael Espleta [x]. I was planning to make a collage of all my faves in concert, but  not all of them were able to play in 2020. Both of these photos are pre-pandemic.)
There’s been quite a bit of movement on this list, and all five of these have spent some time at Number 1 as the year has done (gestures broadly) All This™. Anyone looking for rock and roll is going to dig any of these. 
Rocking out is just the start of it, though. Wrestling with my bipolarity and schizophrenia is tough on a good day, and there haven’t been too many of those lately. The plague has also taken its toll around me, with two family members dead and a third who’s doing better, but will likely never be all the way back. (Mask up, kids!)
I’ve written plenty about how deeply Taylor Swift and Phoebe Bridgers have moved me this year (and will do so again), but in those rare stretches where I’ve had enough spare energy to listen to music at all these days, I’ve mostly been looking for more than beautiful music. Heavy times need heavy lifting, and I find that in heavy music. 
The five albums here have all helped carry me, pointing the way toward light.
1) BULLY, SUGAREGG
Alicia Bognanno is a force of nature as a guitarist, vocalist, composer, and producer/engineer. (While working on her degree in audio engineering at MTSU, she interned with Steve Albini, who remains both a fan and an admirer). A Nashville transplant from Minnesota, she’s still a natural fit in her home on Sub Pop: as heavy as Soundgarden, as hooky as Sleater-Kinney. 
I was blown away hearing her searing honesty while working through her discoveries of her bisexuality and bipolarity (double bi!), and her triumphant roar lifts me out of my seat every time I listen.
Tumblr media
“She sings the hell out of [these songs], her voice fraying to the point of combustion every time she launches to the top of her range. This is phenomenal music for converting anger and anxiety into unbound joy.” ~Stereogum, Album of the Week
Also, check this fantastic interview with Alicia in the New York Times talking about what she’s gone through to get here. 
TURN IT UP!
youtube
2) GANSER, LOOK AT THAT SKY
Ganser syndrome is a rare dissociative disorder characterized by nonsensical or wrong answers to questions and other dissociative symptoms such as fugue, amnesia or conversion disorder, often with visual pseudohallucinations and a decreased state of consciousness. ~Wikipedia #it me
‘Just Look At That Sky’ doesn’t presume to offer solutions; it’s an honest document of what it feels like to wade through anxiety, day by day, not a survival guide or handbook of answers none of us actually have. Whether or not you pay attention to this, Ganser are simply one of the most invigorating, exciting new bands. ~Clashmusic
I saw one very positive review compare Ganser to a cross between Fugazi and Sonic Youth, but I think they hit much, much harder than either of those. And as you can surely guess, I also deeply relate to their themes of mental illness and dissociation while trying to make it through All This™. But my god, are they TIGHT. This is a BAND.
Ganser has two fantastic lead vocalists, and on “Bad Form”, bassist/vocalist Alicia Gaines wrote the song for the voice of keyboardist/vocalist Nadia Garofolo. Alicia also wrote a FANTASTIC essay on the strains that making an album during a pandemic puts on the mental health of the entire band at talkhouse: “Writing, recording, reaching out, balancing relationships outside and within the band, I found (and still find) myself under-rested and agitated to no particular end. More than not doing enough, I was not enough.” 
(If you can’t relate to that, I can’t relate to you, tbh.)
This video also does a fantastic job of showing dissociation. TURN IT UP!
youtube
3) THE TISSUES, BLUE FILM
“Blue Film” is a ten-song shot of dagger-twisting electro-(s)punk. It’s completely addictive from the very first listen. The tour de force is “Rear Window”, an art-punk masterpiece of slashing guitars and mad caterwauling. Copious doses of jaunty poetics and social commentary reward the earlooker patient enough to untangle Kristine Nevrose’s hysterical meowing about intergalactic salt shakers and hysterectomies, but I’m too emotionally invested to look under the hood.” ~ Sputnik Music
“Rear Window” is in fact my most-played 2020 track. TURN IT UP!
youtube
4) GUM COUNTRY, SOMEWHERE
It’s not all heavy! But even when I’m looking for something light and hooky, I need a bite, and Gum Country has done it with the kind of swirly, feeedback-laden wall of sound that Lush or Yo La Tengo would make if they lived in LA. (Recent transplants to SoCal from Vancouver, I do think that the sunshine has gone straight to their heads, in the very best way.)
Indie music nerds will know guitarist/composer/singer/front woman Courtney Garvin from The Courtneys, and she really does throw up a glorious wall of sound. I adore this video too! Sweet, swinging, fun -- and yes, the drummer is playing keyboard with one hand while slapping the skins with the other! 
I mentioned earlier that all five of these albums have spent part of the year at #1 on my list -- I think that this one might have spent the longest stretch there. Like all shoegaze, even as hooky as this, the truth of these songs is revealed in VOLUME. TURN IT UP!
youtube
5) NOVA TWINS, WHO ARE THE GIRLS?
Now, THIS is heavy! Amy Lee (vocals, guitar) and Georgia South (bass) are fucking LOUD, and insanely intense. A mix of grime, hip-hop, metal, punk, and good old rock and roll, they’re a harder-hitting, more theatrical Prodigy, with a pyre of intensity that recalls the heaviest howls of Rage Against The Machine. Indeed, Nova Twins spent a good bit of 2019 playing heavy metal festivals and toured as openers for Prophets of Rage. (Tom Morello has been a fan and supporter from the beginning.)
As you may have noted in the photo at the top of this post, their musical audacity extends to visuals too: they design their own clothes, hair, and makeup, they art direct their own videos, and more. They impress the hell out of me, and I’ve been a huge fan since hearing their first singles in 2018. I’ll plant a flag and say that Georgia South in particular is the most innovative musician on any instrument in any genre right now, but they’re both absolutely monsters. 
I’m honestly not at all sure that #5 is high enough for this, but I’m absolutely certain that after this video, you’re gonna need to rest for a little. LOL
“Taxi” is the story of two gleefully and creatively violent women shaking up the local crime syndicate as they use a vintage cab for their moving murder scene. This is the movie that Robert Rodriguez wishes he was making with Sin City, if it were combined with Blade Runner and The Matrix. And gangsters. And a snake.
Tumblr media
I’m gonna take your crown I’m gonna, I’m gonna bleed you out We demand it by the hour We devour, control, power
I’m gonna burn it down Even the, even the royals bow
So not the same kind of therapeutic work being explored on this rekkid, but you know what? Fucking shit up is therapeutic too! 
Definitely take this full screen, and for the love of fuck, TURN IT UP!
youtube
SO. Not done with the best of 2020 yet? I’m sure not! A lot of my favorite songs aren’t on albums (at least not yet), so for an unedited list of everything I’m finding, check out my Spotify list, 2020: Shuffle This List! 268 songs and counting, over 15 hours, and not finished yet. I’m still checking out everyone else’s Best of lists (including yours! Message me links to yours!!!), so will probably be adding to this for most of 2021, too. 
And for more banging tracks by women from 2020, plus a few 2019 gems that I’m still grooving to, check out my more thoroughly curated Spotify playlist Women Bangers: A Tumblr New Classics Jam. (You’ll see a couple of these tracks there!) I’m working on a YouTube playlist and an essay to properly roll that one out. I’m also still tweaking the ending, but the three dozen or so tunes there are definitely bangin’.
Tell me if you hear anything you dig here, and tell me what YOU’VE found! We’re gonna get through this together.
Yr pal, Timmy

Sniping Lee: Alternate Shot
A comic by me and Sha-Y. Part of our NMH#: Alternate Struggles series.
This comic is pure action and rather on-the-nose with what it's commenting on.
I just thought it would be good to really utilize the potential of Call of Battle’s setting to have NMH address the latest trend in gunplay action games.
Sniping Lee’s “rescue” of plane passengers was put in as I was disappointed that after Vanishing Point, we didn’t get to see FU’s cohorts rampage across the Earth in major ways. I wanted to create a sequence that showed just how dangerous and skilled a “Galactic Sniping Champion” would be with an unhealthy dose of absurd ultraviolence. This would also facilitate obstacles that would organically impede Travis from just leaping down onto the beach rather than a typical invisible barrier (as seen in the Call of Battle's orange burning airplane icons). Ideally, it's an intriguing spin on the usual "evil/incompetent superhero destroys an airplane and kills its passengers" cliche.
The mechanics of his “boss fight” are a mishmash of Speed Buster’s and Margaret Moonlight’s combined with the typical “Battle Royale” shrinking arena gimmick; a boss is constantly trying to shoot you albeit with a tri-barrel sniper rifle. In Travis’ way are a mixture of the usual alien enemies, armed civilian NPCs, and copies of the character models used for Damon’s board meeting wielding weapons. The human enemies would have very simple move sets, low health, and are always aggressive.
Avoiding them is an option, but they can be used to distract Lee by attacking them to pass on his target reticule or running by them so that the his laser dot beam stops on them instead. Some cutscenes would play that would differentiate his “red” attacks (which can be blocked by buildings and other obstacles) and his “green” attacks (which can shoot through the above), necessitating confrontations with Travis’ fellow contestants. Getting a Full Green on a Slash Reel also gives Travis a secret “cheat” akin to the one in Sonic Juice’s RPG sequence to skip most of the lead-up as he can use the Tiger Attack on Lee’s location to charge right at the blockhouse he is camping at.
The contestant count starts from 51 (of course), and is gradually whittled down regardless of whether Travis has killed any enemies until is stops at 4 (Travis, Sniping Lee, Notorious, and Destroyman True Face) when confronting Lee; although you can end the chase earlier by whittling that number down faster yourself. Then a mostly identical version to his countdown screeching from NMH3 will play out before he’s taken out by Notorious and Travis is forced to fight the Destroymen instead, making for a more unique bait-and-switch than those of previous boss fights.
However, I still think this scenario could still work while keeping everything else in the story intact. While Travis has a similarly contentious argument about video game genres/types with Sonic Juice, he’s marginally more nice when fighting the #3 ranked alien, and it’s pertaining to a semi-old style of play rather than the hot fad thing that Lee is trying to latch himself and his opponent on. Also, Travis getting to fight Destroyman again is rendered ironic given his acerbic reaction to the new style of play forced upon him; in a perversion of his desire not to do that, he has to fight a decidedly old enemy in place of Lee.
To be honest, I’m not sure if Travis would show disdain towards the likes of PUBG and Fornite. His video game tastes are hard to gauge. We know he likes AVNs, wrestling games, Mario titles, Zelda entires, Hotline Miami, Deathman, vector graphic retro installments, arcade classics, Unreal Tournament, and top-down shoot ‘em ups. Other than that, it’s hard to say. I thought that his indie game shirts in Travis Strikes Again would offer some clues, but stuff like Children of Zodiarcs and YIIK are in that catalogue; and Travis expresses disdain for turn-based RPGs in NMH3. So, I can’t say. It might transpire that he likes them. What I am certain of, is that he’d probably be just the little bit appalled that Fortnite has Ryu carry around a gun ala those GI Joe toys from the 90s.
Not to mention other OOC affronts to a guest star’s dignity.
If Suda somehow sees this and is appalled because in his notes, Travis does like these kinds of Battle Royale games, I deeply and sincerely and preemptively apologize.
But I must confess, I just really wanted Travis to say "aim-assist shitlick".
Special thanks to the artist, Sha-Y for a particularly genius creative decision. While it was my idea to create the Let it Snipe survival board and the use an edited Call of Battle map for a Fortnite spoof, it was their idea to link Lee and Travis’ word balloons to their location/placement icons.
Travis’ shirt is the logo from West of Dead. 2020’s OTHER red-hued action-adventure roguelike set in the underworld. Ron Perlman voices the flaming skull cowboy!

Tonight on Legend of the Hare: Rasslevania! 
This was originally supposed to be a birthday, but then I thought of the phrase “no holds barred mitzvah” and changed it last second. do like that Jill and Riley both don’t actually know what a bar mitzvah is. Given that the next few pages portray the event as taking place in an arena (?) around a wrestling ring (??) and one of the people in attendance is a music industry scout (?!), it’s also possible that I didn’t know what a Bar Mitzvah was, or at the very least didn’t bother to change any of the later pages to account for this change. This is a really stupid plot point! And it also means that the band is tempted by money at a Jewish event, which is one of those things I probably should have stopped to consider the implications of, but I clearly didn’t consider the implications of anything I was doing on any level. In the aborted LotH Version 2, this whole scene was going to be an actual birthday party, and Riley would sing a song that would be way inappropriate for kids and the family would kick them out, which Riley would blame on Jill before Peggy showed up an arrested them all. It would be at the police station where the rabbits first appeared, and V2 was getting very far from V1 before I gave up on it.
There’s something very Scott Pilgrim vs the World-y in those first three panels, especially Jill’s band being a retro gaming reference. Who came up with that name, anyway? Also, wow, I just told Carlos to draw a generic indie wrestling poster and gave him a sample of one, but I totally passed on a chance to put a joke on the poster. Missed opportunity, past me! Also, using “Goldstein” as a generic Jewish name, bluh.  That’s lazy, it should’ve been a funnier name. If it’d been, like, “Rick ‘The Rack’ Ruckus presents: His son’s no-holds-barred mitzvah” then there’s a little character in it, the idea that maybe it’s the dad who likes wrestling and not the kid, which gives me an opportunity to have a joke later about the son being bored and also kind of helps explain why there’s no actual Bar Mitzvahing going on. You can tell how much I’m feeling a page by how much effort I’m putting into finding these spaces for a joke. In a perfect ideal word, a writer should spend as much time on a page as the artist, going over every line and background detail and trying to find ways to get as much mileage as possible out of every panel and taking every chance for a clever joke. Obviously, this doesn’t usually happen in practice. But it should! It’s very easy to pop out something passable in ten minutes as a writer in a way an artist can’t, but you should hold yourself to a higher standard and even now I don’t do that as much as I should.
Panel 3 looks like a generic alley, but I actually took a photo of an alley in Boston I liked and had Carlos use it as a reference
Tumblr media
I’m not quite sure why I found this image so striking, but it adds a little to the sense of place that this alley has a brick road instead of a paved street, and is one of the very few visual clues that this comic takes place in Boston and not Generic City, so it was worth the time to photograph. Also, hey, that’s Eoin in a trenchcoat reading a newpaper in the background of paper three there. The original opening to Legend of the Hare would have had Trenchcoat Eoin (back when he was called Teporingo) and Mary Farrier at Doink Burger scoping Jill out as a potential rabbit champion. This never got past the first draft stage and mostly revolved around Mary being a hyper child and not focusing. Interestingly, the script I have for that opening establishes Legend of the Hare as being set in Oregon. I wonder why I set it there originally, given that I’ve never been. It might have just been a reference to Gravity Falls?
Anyway, this is the first appearance of Riley, and note that even this early he’s making fun of Jill behind her back. Old man Starflower seems to just accept what Jill is saying as normal, which looks like a joke but is also foreshadowing, since Starflower knows a bit more than was ever shown to the audience. Sadly, it never comes up in the comic because everything’s a mess, but Mary Farrier the horse champion is Starflower’s daughter, and it was through him that the rabbits learned of Jill. It’s all connected, but offscreen because I wasn’t doing anything properly.
The Lore Post for this page will be of grave importance to a few people: It’s the first appearance of Helen Alvarez, the Rooster Champion and surprisingly popular minor character! Helen doesn’t actually appear on-panel for like 40 pages, and by then she’s very clearly sick of all the “cock” jokes, but she seems to be in better humor about it here:
Dear Diary,
I don’t know if anyone’s going to read this, but if you’re reading this now, hi.
So today was odd. I skipped school and then a bunch of Roosters flew me off to Cock-Narnia. Little bit unexpected, that twist. They gave me the whole “Chosen One” spiel I’ve seen in a million fantasy novels, though they didn’t seem to know who actually chose me or why. They offered to let me go home, but I told them nah. Even a crappy Harry Potter LARP thing run by birds is better than Mom and Brad. And, honestly, I wasn’t going to make a better career choice than being the “Lady of Cocks”, so I might as well get on the Cock while I can. Got the tattoo and everything. I’m sure that’ll stop being funny any second now, but I’ve only been here a few hours so I’m going to ride the cock train just a bit more.
The cocks – there it is, this is old -the roosters are not very smart. Which I guess isn’t surprising, because they’re birds? But they can talk, so you’d think they’d be smarter than normal birds. And maybe they are, but they ain’t shown signs of it yet.
I tried to get some details on what my Cock Destiny (okay, one more) was, but no one was able to answer me. Kind of defeats the point of having a prophesied destiny if it’s a mystery, doesn’t it? If I wanted vague promises of future greatness, I’d see the guidance counselor again.
Isn’t that life, though? In that….um…..you never know what you’re gonna get? Or something? I dunno. I really don’t know anything. Supposedly once I sign up I get all kinds of magical girl superpowers, but I don’t feel very super right now. I mostly just wanna lie down. Such hero. Very amaze.
Actually, lying down sounds like a great idea right now. I need to stress over all my decisions today. I’m gonna go do that.
How was your day?
Holy hell, you can tell this lore post is old, there’s a doge reference.

Got any video game suggestions for people on a budget of no dollars?
Sure thing. The following games are all free or pay-what-you-want at the time of this posting:
Bear With Me - A point-and-click adventure game about a little girl and her teddy bear (who is also a burnt out film noir detective) searching for the girl’s missing brother. Has a cute gimmick where the descriptions of objects in the world vary depending on which character is driving.
Celeste Classic - The original game-jam title (coded in just four days!) that the full-featured game of the same name is based on. Playable entirely in-browser. It’s not very long, but if you’re going for 100% completion you could kill an afternoon this way.
Dead Horizon - A micro visual novel about a gunslinger’s final shootout with Death himself. The story is told entirely in flashbacks during the fatal confrontation. Some twitch gameplay, as you need to be quick on the draw to win several of the gunfights.
ERROR: Human Not Found - An investigative visual novel with puzzle elements about solving the mystery of a murdered AI. Some basic computer science knowledge is recommended, but not required – you just might have to hit up Wikipedia to read up on logic gates and such.
Heroine’s Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok - A point-and-click adventure/RPG hybrid where puzzles can have multiple solutions depending on what character class you’re playing. Some survival elements, though they can be toggled off via the difficulty setttings.
Her Tears Were My Light - A short, super-cute lesbian dating sim where you play as the anthropomorphic personification of Time courting the anthropomorphic personification of Space. Generally G-rated, though the implications of some of the endings are rather grim.
Hyper Princess Pitch - An arcade-style shooter/brawler hybrid about a pyromaniac princess with sick wrestling moves on a mission to beat up Santa Claus. Exactly as deranged as it sounds.
Khimera: Destroy All Monster Girls - A very good retro platformer in the mode of Shovel Knight, if you can get past the “all speaking characters are cute monster girls” thing. Not nearly as fetishy as that premise makes it sound (though it’s still a tiny bit fetishy).
Overclocked - A precision puzzle platformer with light transhumanist themes. It’s speedrun-oriented, though you only need to hit the time targets for achievements – you can take as long as you want otherwise. Includes buff cyborg ladies, which I know is a selling point for many!
Pink Heaven - A short side-scrolling shooter from the creator of Cave Story. Serves as a demo-slash-narrative-prequel for Kero Blaster from the same developer, which is not free.
Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt - An extremely retro shooter/RPG hybrid – think ZX Spectrum retro – where you magically enter sick people’s bodies to fight their diseases bullet-hell style. The ending lets you marry any NPC in the entire game.
An Untitled Story - An indie Metroidvania where you play as an egg. Minimal signposting and occasionally obtuse puzzle design mean you’ll probably have to hit up a walkthrough at some point, but the world design is wonderfully imaginative to make up for it.
Yume Nikki - This 2004 indie title is basically the grand matriarch of games that are so high concept they’re essentially unplayable. A fun time-waster, but don’t expect to make progress without a guide. Content warnings for self harm, body horror, and general freakiness.
In addition, if you can scrape together a buck or two, the following games have a regular price of $2 or less:
Cellar - An arcade-style puzzler about a girl exploring a dark basement while dodging various possibly-imaginary monsters. Each stage ends with running away from a giant monster to reach the exit, so fair warning if you’re not keen on time pressure.
Helen’s Mysterious Castle - It looks like a regular dungeon crawler on the surface, but the gameplay is very different from what you may expect. The combat system functions as a sort of puzzle framework, challenging you to figure out how to beat each monster with the tools at hand.
I Fell in Love With the Majesty of Colors - A lightly remastered version of one of the standouts of the mid-2000s indie art game boom, here you play as a Lovecraftian sea monster discovering the concept of colour. Short but replayable, with five different endings to find.
Momodora III - An action platformer with light Metroidvania elements, though it’s rather too linear to be considered a true Metroidvania. Prequel to the excellent Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight, which doesn’t make this list on account of its price.
They Breathe - This action-horror game is basically a masterclass in wordless storytelling, pulling off what has to be one of the most striking narrative brainfucks I’ve ever seen without a single scrap of dialogue. Content warning for body horror.
Zenge - An abstract puzzler that starts out as a simple sliding tile exercise, and progressively introduces new mechanics to keep things fresh. Amazing soundtrack, which is a weird thing to say about a tile puzzler, but there it is.
Finally, here are a few regular-priced or forthcoming games that have good free demos available (for the ones on Steam, the demo link will be in the right-hand column; for the ones on itch.io, scroll down) – you can sink a couple of hours into any of these just with the demo version:
Baba Is You (forthcoming) - A block-pushing puzzler in the mode of The Adventures of Lolo. The twist is that the game’s rules – including each level’s victory conditions, and even which sprite the player is – are represented by objects that can be pushed around to change the rules.
CrossCode - A top-down action RPG with parkour elements and some truly devilish physics-based puzzles. The demo takes you to the end of the prologue, including the first boss fight.
Fortune Summoners: Secret of the Elemental Stone - A side-scrolling action RPG about a trio of young magic-users. Combat more closely resembles that of a fighting game than a conventional RPG, so maybe not the best choice unless you like combos and zone control.
Freedom Planet 2 (forthcoming) - Basically a Sonic the Hedgehog clone that does Sonic better than Sonic does Sonic. The demo version includes one stage, one boss, and all four playable characters.
Heartbeat - A traditional turn-based RPG with an all-girl party and light monster training elements; its style and visual presentation put me in mind of nothing so much as Pokémon crossbred with Earthbound. The demo covers a couple of dungeons and the first three towns.
Secrets of Grindea (early access) - A parody of Super Nintendo era action-RPGs that also happens to be a very good example of the genre it’s sending up. The demo version takes you to the end of the first major boss fight, with a miniboss or two along the way.
This is just from a quick skim of my Steam and itch.io libraries – I may be able to provide more specific recommendations if you have a particular style or genre of game in mind.

Oversized IPhone Killer is Noted by Samsung Galaxy?
Soil Rally - In this style you race on slide, rubber burning, hill bending programs and different slip against adversaries. Participants take your competitors online in multiplayer, uncover fresh rides, improve the people they've, or could work their way through the career mode. Guaranteed, several of those games have chances or advertisements to pay money, but those tiny problems are often outweighed by long-lasting and great enjoyment entertainment. Most Horizon, of all: Zero Start is strictly the sort of sport that E3 needs would be argued by some more of: authentic IPs that aren't scared to take chances. From gorgeously made car skins to the most delicate of weather and lighting improvements are available to raise the core game exactly that tiny bit greater. Sony can help the PS3 with improvements and new game releases for some more years. Several game titles have advantage products available only to clients who preorder the game. With http://saveurs-aines.info that are significant and modern technology, it is still a remarkable task when a sport can cause wonderful stories, nuanced people. This fiendishly addictive free sport takes its sticks from Frogger, however it becomes that common strategy into An unlimited rating challenge: you are going to tap to poke forward one lane at any given time, and side to side to prevent obstacles and dodge vehicles. Nevertheless now, I do believe JotterPad X, two and a half years later, will be the writing application that I would like for Android. I havent discovered every other decent RPG game for that iphone so I truly cant d how were you disapointed from this, you have to understand that Final Fantasy I and two are merely remakes and their design arent even near to Turmoil Rings, its difficult to create a game-like FF for an ipod with those kind-of graphics because the hardware has many limits. What I will do is examine the instructions we learned from these games and examine several of the effective games that have affected our development's direction. http://saveurs-aines.info/phendora-garcinia-minceur-sans-obstacles/ may not get anywhere near to the expertise of handle as possible if you have physical handles, but Capcom have built a significant stab of earning the overall game usable, and have produced some additions to greatly help with all movements and the more challenging combos. You should buy more coins but the sport is actually pretty good using what you are accorded inside the single-player mode. The sport retains it retro in regards towards music, recreation sounds, and the sprite types. Truly, every player's vision hasbeen since March, whenever through integrating with DeNA we learned of its arrangements to release games on portable websites, on Nintendo. I haven't performed it everywhere near to tell you some of the smaller points, but I - can state that it really is excellent enjoyment, easy-to enjoy on your iPhone, and easy to enter into. Are a large amount of great games already available for the PS3, as well as preferred streaming-media services as well as a built-in bluray person for leisure. The overall game sets the undertaking of fighting against childhood anxieties and adult phobias, using the objective being to destroy things such as clowns and lions on you. Instant controllers let you remain further from your own computer and never have to wrestle having a cable, but 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth contacts add latency, which may cause your inputs to consider longer to join up inside the game. Listed here is an idea: should you download-free games for Android supplement, to find the best efficiency choose hd applications. Bounty Hands is probably worth checking out if you'd like an enjoyable activity game that is shamelessly, and is $4.99 on both platforms. Keep in mind to copy the overall game ROM ZERO files via iTunes File-Transfer, as you could do with games. I also have faith that is utter in its ongoing development for a long time ahead and can't propose it powerfully enough. Showdown presents participants all the tactical awesomeness of the real time game without fuss and every one of the muss of micro-managing methods. As usually, the overall game with the most votes as of Tuesday afternoon will be proclaimed our indie game of the week in addition to being included on our site! Instead, although the software, named Droid09, posed being an online bank interface was a phishing device made to achieve account numbers and lender logins. Falling Light, is just a software game where you have to navigate a cube of light via a maze before it fades out. What's trendy concerning the emulator is it currently works along with touchpad or your mouse, in your mac, and it is effective. Callofduty: World at War Zombies is a long name for a game with only one level, but all the action-packed into that claustrophobic place a lot more than comprises for your insufficient assortment. The app's options panel Is thin and mainly concerns itself with with control arrangement selection preservation, and auto auto - filling and saving of games. Terms With Friends popularized the genre, delivering it for the multiplatform masses (though I'm still shocked Zynga has not advanced to Windows Phone or possibly a straightforward online software) the situation, though, is that the enjoyment of the capability to perform online against really simply carried this game up to now. That could be more of an issue, easily were an individual, but iOS functions excellent with Trade and has many Office-compatible programs that work very well. Overview: Kingdom Rush Origins is actually a portable that is fantastic strategy game that can rekindle your love of structure defense. For that person that is curious, the sport features a total Codex, Technique websites, and information on the book line. It really is worth expressing that Android N is coming shortly with a new Vulkan API for Android, and with it involved games are likely to be a lot better than actually throughout 2016. You are accountable for the different devices and samples also offers an expression of control over tracks to you that flow that is other -action games can't really match. As is regular with something from Ironhide Games, audio style and the design in Kingdom Rush Sources are spot on having a humorous flair that helps maintain things upbeat. With acquiring friends to play with however, Facebook or Twitter integration would enable.
