See also: the almost post-free recommendation post
I have (unfortunately) made a large number of posts, some of which are good enough to justify reading back, but which aren't all easy to find. Listed here are more-or-less the ones that are long, took me a good amount of effort, or aren't easily found through tags. These are not my best posts because all of my good ones are like two sentences long. Within each category, they're listed approximately in order from oldest to newest.

in lieu of any significant creative output on this page i have gone through this and added all my big posts from the past 5 months (and reorganised it a bit). highlights for me from doing this:
- if you haven't seen the list of games where you play as a bird, check it out, I'm proud of it as a project and I'd love for it to get more entries. (also i've really got to play more of these games myself!)
- in hindsight, kinda weird that i got therian-adjacent feelings from two completely different rhythm games for apparently unrelated reasons
- i forgot that i wrote a significant amount of fiction on here; i kinda want to do that again. (do not read this as an implication that i actually will. i am just as likely to become involved in some other project that you may or may not ever hear about)
