Hey! It's my birthday. I'm Thirty Three, a Fine Repetitive Number. And I'm live right now with a birthday marathon stream. sword.zone

Nine Sols is 60% off right now, and is one of my favourite games from 2024, genuinely phenomenal experience.

You ever play a game and run up against a seemingly annoying challenge and go "haha, yeah, nah, I'm good" but then sort of end up getting pulled back in over and over to do it anyway? I just finished doing Ascension 10 with all characters in StS2, even though I did like 3-4 of them in StS1...

Just noticed that Zexion is at its cheapest price right now. Extremely cool old-school Metroid-alike, with a little bit of Contra and Mega Man DNA mixed in. Tough as nails (if you don't use accessibility options), tons of great bosses. Built-in randomizer. Don't want to spoil how it escalates.

Jam seems really fun! I wish I was a bit of a faster learner. It takes me a long time to get my hands to not get moves mixed up. She feels like a character where the power comes from being able to flow and never stop doing stuff.

Look Outside is now available DRM-free on GOG! Also it is 30% off right now as part of the Devolver spring sale. www.gog.com/en/game/look...

There's probably something I'm not getting, but it seems like the opponent becomes invincible until they recover when you hit them with Anji's overhead.

The first 60 seconds of Kaze no Densetsu Xanadu contain what may be one of the coolest transitions into a JRPG prologue cutscene ever 風の伝説ザナドゥ / Kaze no Densetsu Xanadu (The Legend of Xanadu) 1994, PC Engine SUPER CD-ROM² Nihon Falcom

One that immediately comes to mind is the fight against Mwyah in Environmental Station Alpha. I really like when metroidvanias allow the powers you get to completely transform the sorts of fights it can put on. Mwyah feels like you've accidentally stumbled into a very different game.

Phoenix Wright might have started life as a GBA game, but what if it was actually... for the original Game Boy? 2bitcrook.itch.io/phoenix-wrig... #pixelart #gameboy

Catching up on some demos.

I feel neutral on some sort of fighting game decathlon. Seeing who is good at many games rather than the best at one is its own kind of fun. But uh, I feel less neutral about it given who is putting it on...

Review: Jimmy And The Pulsating Mass (Switch) - The Best EarthBound-Like You've Never Heard Of.

I really do want to get Nioh 3, but after a certain point the demo just crashes on me every few minutes. I guess I'll take the advice and wait for the ultimate edition.

HE CAME BACK TO DO WHAT HE COULDN'T LAST YEAR!  @Bloo4LYFE is your @StreetFighter 6 #FFXVIII2026 Champion!!

What the heck, DMC5 sold 11 million copies? The boys are more popular than I thought.

@supergreatfriend.bsky.social I ended up going back and finishing Zexion, thanks to your LP, after getting a bit frustrated with it when I first picked it up and putting it down. Ended up liking it a lot, so thanks!

Zexion continues to be a delight. Everything just comes together to make the exploration feel good. It's an actually dangerous world, so every powerup feels like a real boon rather than just a key, or like a foregone conclusion ("when do I get the double jump?").

Went back to Zexion after initially putting it down. I wasn't initially prepared for how harsh it was going to be, but I should have trusted it. Once I stopped just trying to rush through areas and instead considered how to make use of the terrain it became a lot more fun and interesting.

I don't know if there's any direct relation, but anyone who liked Frog Detective should probably give Wyrmhall a look. You're a lil' goblin, cleaning weird artifacts and looking out for your lil'er bro. It's cute.

gott nytt år!

Next year I'm going to actually push through my constant fatigue long enough to make something I can feel proud of.

Alright, it's time to ruin your holiday budget! It's big sales recommendation thread time! I'll be updating intermittently, so check back. This year has had some ups and downs. Income isn't awful, but less stable. If you want to support my work, tips always go to buying more indie games to research

Game Good. Made me emotional.

just announced our new fantasy rpg, Queen’s Domain! ⚔️ - retro kings field/morrowwind style aesthetic - use your sword to fly - 100+ strange monsters to fight - explore a mysterious labyrinth island on a quest to find your father Demo out now!

anyone wanna hang out and do fighting game idle poses to rainy turtloid's stage theme www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiCq...

Some really fun stages and bosses, dragged down by some of the absolute worst. The nightmare effects almost universally make the stages worse, and having to hard reset if you fail to rescue a reploid is nuts. Also a lot of the music kicks ass. Not the museum though. That track is headache-inducing.

The first version of #MalditaCastilla was released 13 years ago today! A dark fantasy sidescroller packed with myths from Spain and inspired by a bunch of mid-to-late 80s arcade games I love. Featuring a super on point FM soundtrack by @gryzor87.bsky.social Info: locomalito.com

FINALLY GOT IT! I've taken well over 100,000 pelican pictures, maybe 200,000. Over 20,000 the past month alone. Today, I snagged "The One That Got Away" In my infinite optimism, I give you, a very rare: Fish success story. 🪶

I think I hate the timeline bile the game awards generates more than the actual game awards. The lead up is all "don't watch it! it sucks!" and the aftermath is all "can you believe what shit they pulled at the game awards?!"

Calling all office nerds 😎 the Office Mimics are now available (for free) in my Kofi! These are a set of .ico files to customize your folder/program icons with! ko-fi.com/s/3683ca94cb These were super fun to make, hope you have fun customizing your desktop using these! #pixelart #mimic

my primary impression of fallout 76 was watching an official teaser on the alien update, hearing this weapon's sound effect, and having to rewind to make sure I didn't hallucinate it

I've been practicing Ed to assist Slowbeef with his foray into fighting games, and I figured I should get this just so I know I'm not completely full of shit.

There's this writing exercise, I don't know what it's called in english but my direct translation would be 'relay writing' as in relay race. The idea is that one person starts a story, then folds the page so you can only read the bottom sentence or so, then another person continues the story...

another indie animation day passes-- i'm still chipping away at an Anthology of the Killer AMV when i have the time. song is INside OUT by Hi, I'm Chris. #IndieAnimation #IndieAnimationDay ⚠️🩸 (CW Cartoon Blood + Gore)

Our playthrough of 'The Immortal' is up now on YouTube! Contains a history of the game's developer, many deaths by worm, and a healthy helping of beef -- @slowbeef.bsky.social, that is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFI8...

I have (well, had) an old iPhone that recently started breaking apart, so I got a refurbished one. Just one problem: I don't remember my apple password. Easy enough to fix I thought. ...except to change it you... need an iPhone? They can't be serious, right?

Today is Fight4Rare! It's a fun silly SF6 custom character invitational with lots of improv on the mic, but has a serious goal: raising $10k for the Raiden Science Foundation's fight vs rare genetic diseases. Please spread the word, tune in, & donate! 🕑 2pm PT 🎮🎙️ see below 📍 twitch.tv/teamsp00ky

How about we BOTH regret being born?

When you get a chance to put Retsuprae in a museum exhibit, you put Retsuprae in a museum exhibit. Thanks for signing our Dark Seed all those years ago, @slowbeef.bsky.social!

Viper feels like a return to a design idea that I really appreciate, where technical skill is a vector to separate yourself from the pack, but you can still play a complete game even without diving into the fancier execution. They did a really good job!
