I played Butterfly Soup and its sequel last week and have not been able to stop thinking about them since. Broadly speaking, Butterfly Soup is a game about the joys and pains of growing up and figuring out who you are. On the game page, the author describes it as "A visual novel about gay asian girls playing baseball and falling in love."

Neither of these descriptions fully capture why this game means so much to me, but if either piqued your interest, I have great news: both games are free! (Or rather, they're pay-what-you-want, and if you pay at least $5, you get a PDF with bonus art and author commentary--which, imo, is still too low a price for how much enjoyment I got from this)

I'll be posting about Butterfly Soup in the next couple days, so I'll take a stab at explaining why these games mean so much to me then. In the meantime, if you're looking for a good and short (3-4 hours each!) visual novel to read through, give these a shot!

Just writing down some thoughts on how to properly preserve and format things longterm.

-A lack of bookmarks means that if you want to save your older posts/threads for proper preservation/reference, your pinned post should probably have links. From how cohost seems to save things at the time of posting, it looks like if you have a thread (like a lets play) where each part is a successive rehost+post, the proper way to link the whole thing is to link the -last- post in the thread. At current, it seems if you link the topmost post, it'll only link that specific post (comment to correct me if I'm wrong)

-However, your pinned will be massively crowded if it has who you are, what you're about, biography stuff and your links all crammed together, especially if you have multiple things going in different interest areas. For proper formatting and space its either some CSS magic, or more likely, a link to different posts, each of which have a list of threads.
