Unironically, seriously, hear me out, Mice Tea.

It is a beautiful story about community, identity, self-discovery and what we decide to do with our lives… yes there are a couple dozen sex scenes across the eight or so story paths and yeah sure at its core it’s about a tea that turns people into furries but it’s GOOD. I cried!

While most erotic VNs are obnoxiously saturated in horny-ness Mice Tea avoids that by having a good sense of proper time and place for that kind of thing, it handles sex more like the way a romance novel would. Plus, the explicit content is meant to be optional and it gives you a chance to skip them entirely with a pop up containing warnings about kinks and potentially triggering stuff. Also everyone is in their mid twenties-mid thirties so yeah.

It’s $20 on itch.io but it goes on sale on Steam occasionally. There is also a free demo version that can be found on either of those places.

“Wash”

Was this machine translated from spanish?

If I had my way every domicile in human history would have one of these and a pair of decks.

It’s so crazy how this show is basically the exact same shit the exact same type of guy would have done 10, 20, 30 years ago with the exact same jokes. The only difference is the post-covid brainworms and the context of the transphobia being presented as a losing ideology. Kinda mindblowing that this dude is a couple years from AARP eligibility and still talking like he’s in middle school. That sucks.

As much as I want TiK ToK by Kesha to be a recognizable tune in half a millenia I know that’s not happening. Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode is one of the most covered songs of the past 50 years so that very well may become immortalized through diffusion alone. There’s a couple dozen jazz standards that could have that kind of staying power as well, especially considering their ubiquity in performance repitoires and books of sheet music.

Here is the archive link, for anyone interested

This guy has something good going on here, if they grilled the dog, added some swiss, and then grilled/toasted/panini-ed the whole thing it would be killer.
