Making this my pinned post, because my messages and inbox on this blog don't work anymore, they are straight up broken and tumblr hasn't fixed it.

So if you wanted to send me an ask about Lookouts please do it on my team's blog! I'll actually be able to see them there, I know I definitely had some asks that got swallowed into oblivion before I ever got to see them.

Howdy, we're Marble Claws

We're a small team of queer creators making videogames. We made Lookouts, and are slowly working on new stuff.

This blog is for us to post updates and announcements about Lookouts, and other projects when we have something to share, as well as to show off all the amazing fanart people have made of our silly little videogame. You can see what we've reblogged all in one place in our fanart tag.

We also have asks open, so if you want to ask us any questions about Lookouts or its characters, please feel free. We love to hear from people about the game!

We might post something funny every so often too. Maybe. No promises. You'll be the judge I guess.

Hope to see you around, pardner.

🇵🇸 From BDS:

More than 300 Palestinian sports teams are calling to ban Israel from the Olympics over its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. [...] In Gaza, Israel has killed Palestinian Olympic Football coach Hani Al Masdar, destroyed the Palestinian Olympic Committee offices, and turned sports facilities into shameful mass detention and torture centers. We can’t sit back as the IOC allows Israel to use the Olympics to sportswash its genocide in Gaza and its apartheid regime against Palestinians everywhere. Support the call from Palestinian teams. Join the campaign to #BanIsrael from the Olympics and peacefully disrupt the road to the Paris 2024 games. 

Global days of action planned for March 15-17:

Ahead of the IOC executive board meeting in Lausanne Switzerland (March 19-21), take the call from Palestinian teams to your National Olympic Committee, International Sports Federations and Recognized Sports Federations. Organize protests, sit-ins, peaceful disruptions, or awareness raising events on Israeli attacks on Palestinian sports.

For more concrete information on how you can participate in the campaign, see the link above. You should also check in with your local BDS-affiliated organization(s) to see if they have anything planned for these dates (if they don't, consider bringing it up to them)

If you're not familiar with any BDS-affiliated organizations in your country (or state/city), then take a look at BDS's "Join a Campaign'"page.

There's also a petition you can sign.

aaron bushnell knew exactly what he was doing. he states his intentions with total lucidity and sense of purpose. he knows what he's about to do is extreme--he says so. he speaks calmly, but he's clearly terrified. he takes a deep breath after pouring the accelerant over himself. he has to psyche himself up to light the flame. he struggles with the lighter. he says "free palestine" normally once before he starts to scream it. even through his agony he manages to say it one last time before he stops being able to speak at all. this is a man with total conviction. he wanted to help people, in any way possible. this action was a moral one, and any news outlet painting this as simply a mental health issue is a disservice to his memory. he knew what he was doing when he burned himself in uniform. he knew that there was a chance that sacrificing his own life could go on to save many others. this was the ultimate act of selflessness, and it should be treated as such. may he rest in peace.

I was debating pre- and post- smartphone existentialism with an older gentleman today and he stopped part way through and said “Why are you a security guard? Why aren’t you teaching this at some college somewhere?” And I didn’t know what to say so I went with “Well I used to make art but nobody pays an artist”

Hey, do you want to play a visual novel about gay trans cowboys falling in love?

If that sounds like your thing then we humbly recommend Lookouts!It's a romance/drama visual novel set in the Old West. Two lookouts scouting for gold meet in the desert, and end up in the fight for their lives, and each other.

The game is completely free to play and is just by two silly queers who wanted to see more stories like this out in the world. It would mean the world to us if you gave it a look!

And then his brother Bitey walked over him and woke him up, so he had to be swiftly dispatched as punishment

people are calling what happened today in gaza “the flour massacre”

the flour massacre

these people just wanted to get food for their families, something as basic as flour, one of the things that the very core of humanity is built on, and israel used it as a trap to murder them in cold blood

evil is not enough of a word. there is not a word to describe what they are doing to palestine. they are bleeding her out, they are torturing her and crushing her and hoping that nothing is left to remember her by when they are done. how can anyone stand and watch what is being done with indifference? how can you watch this level of human suffering, this crime against life and feel nothing, do nothing

i usually have it muted because i end up hearing the same 5 seconds over and over while i test stuff. but occasionally i'll have reason to hear lookouts' music again while i'm working and i'll just go oh. yeah, right, this soundtrack bangs, damn. and i'll just stop what i'm doing to listen to it again. everybody say thank you jamie @fakegamercomics

Seeing footage of the aftermath of the flour massacre in Gaza is so painful

"Where is my daughter? Tell her I don't want flour anymore"

"My brother was shot holding a bag of flour. He kept holding on to it so they kept shooting him"

"Why does flour have to be stained with blood?"

Over 100 have been killed. Every single one of them hungry. Every single one of them has someone waiting for them to come back with the bag of flour.

Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war against innocent civilians. Israel ambushes starving Palestinians and shoots them. Israel is not fighting a war to defend itself. This is another episode of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.
