pinebark: hey so i run this site called forest ambassador it posts three games a week that are free, short, and easy to get into (it’s videogames for people who don’t like videogames) the games i post are about stuff like: false police confessions, feeding ducks, urban zoning policy, being a pregnant mermaid, shaving your legs, capitalism, hugging cats (things games aren’t usually about) they’re also often by marginalized authors oh, and you can browse all 150+ games i’ve posted so far by mood, too it would mean a lot to me if you would reblog this post and check out the site! oh, and one last thing: the site is currently my only steady source of income. so if you like the kind of things i’m doing with it and can afford to, consider subscribing, which gets you a monthly ezine called woodland secrets (you can learn more about that here) thx! ~merritt
