Deastar, which is 110k of glorious Sid/Geno BDSM AU dealing with a ton of internalized and original flavor domism -- including about a million microaggressions against subs as well as some really bad scenes -- on its way to happily ever after for its endgame OTP. I almost wasn't sure I could rec this in a public post, because it's locked to the AO3 and what if mentioning it was violating privacy somehow? But the author has linked to it on an unlocked tumblr, so I think mentioning it is okay. Which is good to know! I really love it!
In a more nonfiction vein, I found this post about tumblr undermining communities really intriguing. The lack of moderation for common spaces is definitely a big problem there, and ( I was also really struck by... ) Content note: the post is discussing these things in the context of asexual and aromantic communities, and contains links to other posts discussing some pretty heavy stuff relating to anti-ace prejudice.

stunt_muppet, I've also enjoyed this three-part review of Pathologic, a truly fascinating game I am glad I will probably never play!
PLAYED
Alter-Ego, a weird life simulator from the 1980s I played once or twice as a kid (not in the 80s) and whose existence I was reminded of by this satisfyingly uncomplimentary review, so then of course I had to play it again.
( It's such a creepy game... )
Eyes of Tree byursula, which is a beautifully written Twine game about someone trapped in service to the Lady under the Hill in a time when said Lady's court receives news of the Americas. Content note for allusions to historical slavery and genocide.
( Spoilery discussion. )
