So Planescape: Torment is proving troublesome for streaming. It crashes and I've lost saves (requiring off-stream replay). I'd love some input on what to switch to. Here are a few options in the running for long narrative games that will can chunk well into 60-90 min streaming sessions, but I'd also welcome other suggestions. 💃🏾

I've been playing some truly awesome small indie games in the last few months. I archive my streams over at https://irrsinn.video/video-channels/melissa_channel/videos, and I work to get closed captioning on them within a week of uploading.

If you're looking for some game recs, I'd suggest checking them out. Just about all of them take between 10 min and 3 hours, so these are quite small games by conventional standards. You can subscribe to a Peertube channel w/ a Mastodon account, too.

An #introduction: I'm Melissa (they/them)! Some of my projects are in my bio, but in general I am and do:

#gamedev & #podcasting

#gardening #succulents #cacti

#asexual / #grayace / #queer

#polyamory #relationshipanarchy

I write. I #webdev. I play way too much Fallen London. I collect tattoos. I will not call posts "toots".

I like learning to be more imaginative in devising solutions to difficult problems. 🎊

Ugh, this is bad. I knew the money was terrible and that access to facilities and training was subpar, but the details are still striking:

For the NWHL's only response to be to call it a smear campaign is gross. It reads as if all they can see is their current squabble with the PWHPA instead of the substance of the piece or the feelings of players. Workers rights are important, and from contracts to facilities, they've been handing out table scraps.

Until recently, despite @gregoryaveryweir being a long-time fan of Jon Bois, I'd only seen one or two SB Nation videos. Then Gregory fell into Bois' series on The Mariners and I watched this video on a famous DeVry Institute basketball game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4afzQyGo5Q, and I'm completely won over.

I don't follow basketball or baseball (The Mariners) at all, but I love spending a well-produced and faux-understated video going, "WTF? wttttffff?"
