We need more indie WarioWare rapid-fire-microgame-style games, with an adorable pixel cast of queer furries and kind happy gentle weirdos, with explicitly queer silly romantic sexy bizarre microgames, with glitches and gay robots and empathy and available on itch.io.

This started as a one-off post, but now I feel like there's something here. There should be a game jam to make these games, all using GameMaker from Humble's bundle, and at the end of the jam all the games are rolled into one.

I boosted @GinnyMcQueen's toot about this earlier, but Yonatan's response to the Google manifesto deserves a non-CW toot. I know and trust Yonatan and there is substantial wisdom here. https://medium.com/@yonatanzunger/so-about-this-googlers-manifesto-1e3773ed1788

I would be pretty okay if my superpower was the ability to summon any small (say, 2-10 member) group of people to a particular location simultaneously and convince them each in turn to say the one thing that would make each of the others in the group cherish the speaker deeply.

Keep all the rest, I'll take that one.

if I ask @vahnj to do something is that a cromjob

"If you require further refreshment," it squeaks and rumbles as you stand there dripping, "there is an ice cream wyrm in the pavilion due south of here, beside the lake."

You find that you are actually shivering in the shade. You pause for a moment, wondering if the ice cream wyrm would give you a cone or spew cold dairy treat all over you, before nodding respectful thanks and hurrying away about your business.

It turns to look at you, the motion of its head squeaking comically. "Do you need to cool down?" it asks, in a voice of rushing water and more of that rubberized squeaking.

"Yes, please," you say, almost panting.

The dragon opens its maw wide, and you have a moment of misgiving before a multicolored spray of little spheres, each as big as your fist, hurtles towards you. Caught completely by surprise, you flinch slightly as the balloons burst, splashing you with refreshing, cool water.

The water balloon dragon sits quietly in the shade of a single tree, watching people toil past in the grueling sunshine with an air of detached nobility, only slightly marred by the constant dribbling of condensation around its feet. Shallow puddles of water underneath it have attracted several small birds, who are splashing happily.

You approach the majestic figure, drawn by waves of cool air it radiates into the baking heat of the day, and pause in the shadow of the tree to catch your breath.
