Hamlet adaptation where Hamlet is a vlogger and all his soliloquies are breakdowns he uploads to YouTube

[animatedamerican]

… I am unironically here for this

[oldfilmsflicker]

this is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my life

[kabesattic]

This is - legitimately - my favourite delivery of Shakespeare I have EVER seen (and I have seen some good-ass productions yo, in the Globe Theatre itself even). Like seriously, even though the words are unchanged, he’s stripped away ALL of the archaic pretense and assumed grandeur of ~presenting the bard~ that makes even the most wildly talented of actors and innovative of productions inherently inaccessible to a modern audience. Like, they’re still great, they can still communicate the message and (some) of the nuance, but they’re still always a step removed from being identifiable to any viewer’s lived experience. They’re still always reciting 15th century poetry. But this guy? This guy is like, screw iambic pentameter, to hell with being precious about the material, HOW WOULD AN ACTUAL PERSON SAY THIS SHIT?

Like this. And it’s beautiful. It’s beautiful to hear a soliloquy I loved so much already, and have it come to life in a way it never, ever, did before. I feel like I grasp his motivations, his twists and turns, no longer on an academic level but on a visceral, instinctive one. Because he’s presenting his mental and emotional journey in a way that speaks honestly, like a real person.

So yeah, this shit post? I love it. Deeply and sincerely.

BitSummit PUNCH (2026)

Bitsummit was a lot of fun and I actually played (or watched others play) enough games to warrant a writeup. I'm not a writer by any means but I have some thoughts so here it goes.

My Picks

Yodelee Golf

Super taken with this multiplayer co-op golf game (it turns out I love a golf game with a sense of whimsy. I knew this given my track record with 100ft Robot Golf, the game I bought a PS4 for.) I played the demo with a brother and his older sister in my group (the boy couldn’t have been older than 8.) One of them spent the whole demo trying to hit my golfer with their club, sending me flying humorously. We got so distracted playing chase that we almost didn’t complete the main demo hole, but we all cheered when we sunk the final ball (in this case it was a rubber duck) with literal seconds to spare. I keep thinking about it, it was just that charming. Yodelee Golf on Steam Yodelee Golf Announcement Page

ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs

There were apparently a couple “cozy” cleaning/restoration games at the show but this was the only one I played. It was nice to have the added element of disassembly and assembly in with the cleaning of the individual parts. The legally distinct electronics brands (in familiar form factors) were a fun touch.

Beetols They Do It

By far the most difficult title to google when you only remember the “Beetol” part of the title (autocorrect and an assumption that any misspelling of the word “Beetle” must mean you want information about the band are my enemy.) I’ll admit I didn’t actually play this one myself. That said, it's a beetles-with-old-man-faces friendship/romance sim with a colorful art style and a crass sense of humor so like, what am I going to do, not buy it? Beetols They Do It on Steam

Honorable Mentions

あなたに花束を (Flowers for You)

Technically I played this one last year but it was at the show this year too. I liked it enough to include it on the list. Flowers for You on Steam

TANUKI: Pon's Summer

I am a(n indie) corporate shill for this one. They gave me a very cool hat at last year’s show and my spouse is friends with the developers. Also it won an award this year?  TANUKI: Pon's Summer on Steam

Dr. Oops! 

I didn’t play this one myself but my friend worked on it and it’s about an unlicensed doctor so YOU KNOW it goes on the list. Dr. Oops! on Steam

Pro Jank Footy

Real talk, the dev I talked to was nice but he kept assuring me Australian Rules Football was a real sport even after I’d told him I was familiar with and have been to a game in person. That said, it’s chaotic and colorful and I enjoy that in a game. Pro Jank Footy on Steam

McCalls Pikachu Plush 2512 Sewing Pattern

This thing has been out of print for like, 26 years and some of us want to make chubby classic pikachu so uh... I figure it's okay to share bc it's kinda hard to get your hands on the remaining physical copies.

Bonus points: Aelith made some embroidery/applique files for it too

This is FREE, please don't pay for the pattern.

Only the EMBROIDERY is paid.
