WHO IS JOHNNY SIXGUN 🦉by @siobhan.creature.love mainly this section where you wander around a level from dark souls 2 while they reminisce about dark souls 2 and this dark souls 2 / Evanescence mix plays siobhan-dent.itch.io/who-is-johnn...

BLINDSPOT ◼️ by @johnleeerg.bsky.social Relatable bitsy game about the daily witnessing of horrors. Very inspiring, i hope 'big void in the middle' catches on as an aspect ratio ergman.itch.io/cosmicbackgr...

Blindspot will release tomorrow, i arbitrarily decide. I basically worked on this whenever i got stuck reading news that made me angry, so as a result it is a nasty ugly angry game. Fairly proud of the writing, art, and music in this. I hope you all get something out of it.

NEW GAME: Blindspot Sick of doomscrolling... FOR FREE? Why not make it your career! Why not make it your whole life!! Its what The Empire Needs! But watch out for The Nightmare! play now: ergman.itch.io/cosmicbackgr...

Would be great if people learned to dig past the mainstream, whether it's gaming, comics, film, music. Anything. A lot of people seem to think the mainstream stuff is everything.

Brief moment of peace in an otherwise pretty upsetting bitsy

shocked and honored to still be on PMRank! A testament to the great TOs and events we've been having in Ontario lately that I can get on without having to risk my well being traveling to the states. but hey, some of y'all should come up here this year! I hear we have some really big events planned

PMRank 2025 has begun! Before we reveal our Top 50, we would like to highlight two players that just barely missed the cut. See the PMRank 2025 Edge of Glory below: smashboards.com/threads/pmra...

Finally wrote another blog post! I shared the full chart of the top 20 best-selling Chinese premium games in 2025 and wrote a recap of all the drama, controversies and review bombs. Also includes some personal game recs and commentary jingtong.bearblog.dev/chinese-game...

So I loathe having to do this with everyone else hurting right now but the repairs are going to be costly and I would rather earn if I can. I’ve already had to pay for parts today but labor is going to be more so if you have any work, I’m real good at that. A share would be rad as well.

Ope! I am running a charity Wombat Wednesday THIS WEDNESDAY to raise money for the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund! They provide shit like food, housing, and urgent legal help for immigrants in the Twin Cities area! You can enter a free netplay bracket to help raise money! start.gg/wombatwednes...

I strongly recommend anyone who has a hankering for an open-world, sokoban-style puzzle experience to check out Isles of Sea and Sky instead. store.steampowered.com/app/1233070/...

NEW from Important Context: Genocide experts, including two past presidents of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, are speaking out about escalating attacks on transgender Americans in the U.S. www.importantcontext.news/p/experts-wa...

ICYMI: Genocide scholars are warning that the U.S. is in the process of genocide against transgender Americans. “So it’s not so much ‘will genocide happen?’ as ‘we got to stop it from happening.’” — Dr. Henry Theriault, president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars (2017-21)

Overthrowing the government of Iran and installing the shah led to the Iranian revolution and the Ayatollah. Funding the Mujahideen in Afghanistan led to the taliban and Al queda. These unlawful actions could have destabilizing consequences for decades and this will haunt the US for generations.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

In light of recent Ai related nonsense in the creative industry, I wanted to present some easy-to-digest facts about Generative Ai

“In 2025, Israel attacked at least six countries, including Palestine, Iran, Lebanon, Qatar, Syria, and Yemen. It also carried out strikes in Tunisian, Maltese and Greek territorial waters on aid flotillas heading for Gaza.”

My humble birthday girl requests: play Angeline Era, tell a friend, blog about it, or write a review!! In addition to art, did you know I was story lead? Angeline Era embodies so much of what I've chased over the past few years, from wildflowers to parties to Apocrypha to ancestry.
