I am gradually grinding my way through Void Stranger because a friend is really desperate for me to get whatever it is that is supposed to be good about this game.

Talking to her about it is already tense enough so for now I'm just going to ask here: how do I know when I've seen whatever the thing is I need to see to "get" it? Is there a big turning point coming where the game's brilliance reveals itself and all the misery of getting there potentially becomes worth it, or have I effectively reached that point already and turned my nose up at it?

For reference I have found the three Burdens in the first run, figured out some stuff I can do by rodding the HUD, and restarted the game as the younger girl and encountered the even more oppressive puzzles.

January 2026 Daily Drawings!

Here they all are, the dailies I attempted for January 2026! I didn't do one for each day, and I didn't post all the art I did either in separate art posts which you can see in these summaries. I wasn't sure the best way to split it up, but by showing the two halves of the month, you can see when I had the time/energy to do these.

I don't have plans to do another month of these, but I would love to do them from time to time. They were fun to do and share and gave me confidence that I can get ideas out relatively quickly. Each of these took anywhere from 1 to 2 hours.

I made a silly thing to post exasperatedly at my friend who is exasperated with me refusing to do the thing.

Two Puzzlers and two small flying creatures who show up occasionally. (What if...they became friends?)

The Trick was fucking stupid and horribly signposted, I literally tried it first thing and failed because there was one more completely arbitrary rule to it that I hadn't thought of.

Frustrating thing to happen in a key moment. #VoidStranger
