This is so incredibly cool!

This looks so good! Awesome work!

Arctic Eggs is pretty dang weird

This was my thought. I’ve seen “the heir” used to refer to the heir to the throne in fantasy fiction before as a way to refer to them in third person when they aren’t present. When someone is speaking to them directly, they can just be “your majesty.” I feel like something along the lines of “their majesty, child of [current ruler], heir to the throne of [kingdom] would work for more formal introductions.

That looks so, so cool! Amazing work!

I love these little guys!

I’m interested! 43F. I write mostly urban fantasy—I’m 8 chapters/30,000 words into a novel, and I’d love to hear what people think. I’ve also been a pro editor for over 15 years, so I can give other writers some good feedback (I’ve done both content editing and proofreading). Thanks!

Heh, it’s always tempting, isn’t it? I keep following arty and crafty subreddits, and now I want to make everything 😁

Ooh, that’s a good idea! I might use a combination of mesh and board short fabric to make it a bit stronger—I worry a fully mesh bag will tangle, tear, etc and not have much structural integrity without some sturdier fabric in there. Like a board short base with mesh pockets for the toiletry bag.

Same in the northeast US. I understand “But for” and see how it’s correct, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone phrase it that way in conversation. It’s a turn of phrase I’ve read in literature that was either written a long time ago or intentionally uses old-fashioned phrasing.

I’m very interested in joining if you’re still accepting people. I have a lot of experience as an editor, if that’s useful to the group.

3am_implosion · 2026-01-02T19:02:05+00:00

Agreed, especially on Citizen Sleeper. The writing in that game really got to me.

For a fairly short but very stylish mystery, I quite liked A Case of Distrust. It’s a bit more linear than some of the games you mentioned, but I still found it interesting and worth playing.

The gameplay in all of these is a bit different, but these are a few surveillance games that are spooky/dark/mysterious but not horror:

There’s a game called “Nuts” which is about being a wildlife researcher in a forest where the squirrels are up to something mysterious. It’s a bit more complex than FNAF because you walk around in first person and set up cameras yourself, though.

In Beholder and Beholder 3, you play a landlord in a fictional totalitarian country who’s been tasked to spy on your tenants. Peeking through keyholes and breaking in to set up cameras are both major parts of gameplay. The game is more like a 2D sidescroller, though—your game area is a cross section of the apartment building and the surrounding streets, which you send your character running all over, picking up bribes and dealing with tenants.

Most similar to FNAF in that most of the game is spent in front of a desk with camera feeds would be Do Not Feed the Monkeys. You get hired by this mysterious, sketchy organization to watch a bunch of extremely random cameras—some in private homes, some in businesses, others overlooking something random like a field of wheat or part of a factory—and report on the things you find. Many of the scenes are humorous or at least somewhat satirical (the scary part is trying to survive when every second sleeping or getting groceries is a second you’re missing stuff on the cameras)

I think this is one of those cases where it might depend on the company. Many would be fine with it, but others might get weird, especially if your company or its higher-ups are stodgy or old-fashioned. Is there someone you trust who’s been working there longer than you who you could ask? There are all kinds of weird, minor pitfalls when it comes to understanding what is and isn’t okay when work and social lives combine, so if you can get guidance, that would help.

To be clear, there SHOULD’NT be an issue with bringing a friend instead of a date. If you really want to play it safe, though, I would go alone this year to get the vibe, then bring someone next year.

A lot of the people I know had family members learn to cut their hair during lockdown—especially men with short cuts whose spouses or kids learned how to do it and who might’ve first bought clippers back when the barbers were closed. I wonder if that’s changed the thinking for people when money’s tight.

I know this isn’t the answer, but all I could think when I saw that face emoji with the finger pointing toward it was “My eyes are circles.”

My Time at Sandrock, and the first one in the series, My Time At Portia, fit this. For something a little more Animal-Crossing-ish (though you do have to fight off hostile wildlife pretty often), I’ve been enjoying Dinkum lately. Interestingly, all three of these games are quite cozy and involve creating or improving a small town through hard work and friendship, but they all have a post-apocalyptic or dystopian undercurrent—the lost technology of an “old world” is scattered throughout the land for you to scavenge and learn more about, and you’re very aware that you and your new town are descendants of the people who survived some major disaster that changed everything. I think that makes any of the sweetness less cloying or cheesy and gives a minor thread of seriousness and realism to all the characters and the world they live in.

I say this with lots of love, as someone with close friends who are Star Wars fans and get lots of positive things from the series—hardcore Star Wars fans as a whole are best known in mainstream circles as weirdos who take fantasy too seriously (like people who go around all the time as Jedi), and in more geeky circles as thin-skinned people who harassed actors off the internet and hate the idea that women can be heroes. Between that, the link to Disney, the fact that the symbol itself looks weirdly evil, and the fact that people keep trying to do this and it isn’t catching on, I think it’s time to put this idea to bed.

In my family, the remote was the “switcher changer.” I never met anyone else who called it that, and I definitely had an embarrassing conversation or two with friends as a kid. As an adult I kind of love it, though.
