omw to leave a comment on your Christmas Enjoyment post to let you know that i, the main character, don't enjoy the holidays

My favorite Becky Heineman game seems to be kinda a deep cut. Marvel at the character and rizz of 'The Tracer Sanction' with me in this lo-fi Let's Play if you like: youtu.be/qvLud0n3kes?... Thank you for everything-everything, Becky!

Me, adding to a pile of stuff on the landing: “definitely going to take that upstairs next time I go up there.”

Almost finished with Midnight Suns and it’s a fascinating game of high highs and low lows. Chief among things that bug me is NPC dialog selection having mechanical consequences, but only for the positive. Found myself reloading to redo choices to get positive friend points, or worse, undo losses.

It's this shit why I don't pop into Fortnite more often. Weekly huge updates. 25 minute download? Nah, that's my whole lunch break.

Random people in my office, who know I like and make video games, have been coming up to me to ask about the Steam Cube. I feel like this one might break containment.

Skin Deep

Me, throwing my credit card number at all these excellent indie games coming out that I’ll never have time to actually play.

A clown in full regalia was doing a comedy magic act at one of the most dangerous intersections in Washington, D.C. and I was so mad to not have any cash on me. She was so good!

Our weekend with no internet meant some board games like Hot Streak were finally played. It’s a game where you bet on a mascot race and it’s lovely because everyone ends up yelling at the silly pieces. Highly recommend as it’s a quick play that also can accommodate a lot of players.

Our home internet has been down all day and we get no cell service in our house so I have to step outside to do anything on my phone like I’m taking a cigarette break. It feels appropriate because like smoking, the internet is slowly killing me.

Simpsons Fortnite lured me back in. Listen, ya’ll, Fortnite is silly fun. It just is.

We’re stoked to bring this project back and cant wait to share it with y’all 🍃 #ttrpg #ttrpgs #thequietyear #CapCut

We had 400+ people attend District Arcade yesterday (over 30 devs showing their games!) and I don’t think the library quite understood what we were summoning until it happened. lol.

Diving back into Crab Crawl to fix a few bugs and reacclimate to Unity for my next project. I'm still charmed by my squid friend I added late game. It just follows you around harmlessly for a while, and if you get too close... ✒️⬛

ignore that the preview says september 27! this weekly roundup is fresh and topical

Murderworld is now available! A text adventure where you play as the 1989 lineup of the X-Men as they fight to win back their weekend. It's got several playable characters over the course of multiple hours-worth of grand adventure and superhero drama. patientrock.itch.io/murderworld 🦹🏼‍♀️

staring blankly at this wild fucking eula for a steam demo

Who is going to save the life of every narrative designer on earth and create a CSV word processor so no one has to write a script in google sheets ever again?

I've added a post on IntFiction asking for feedback on Snowman 2.1.0 and Snowman 1.5.0. intfiction.org/t/snowman-up... If you are currently using Snowman for a project, please let me know if my code breaks anything. I've added many more tests, but it could still break things.

The show Millennium never made it to the millennium.

It's the weekend! It's also the FINAL WEEKEND before IFComp 2025 wraps! Remember to get those final votes in. Also, if you are in a position to do so and have not yet contributed to this year's Colossal Fund, we're just a bit short of our stretch goal. Thank you! Have fun!

We don’t get a lot of new location based games these days so I gotta play them when one comes up, but this one has dialogue like this and I’m not happy.

I mean this sincerely: If the presence of the National Guard at Union Station is supposed to make it feel safer, they could patrol the dark parking lot at 10:30 at night instead of hanging out in front of the closed Starbucks or whatever.

Holyyyyyyyyy

My 11-year-old has started reading LotR and I asked where he was. “I don’t know, dad, there’s this guy who sings a lot, he lives in the woods with his wife…” “Oh, buddy.”

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

@danryckert.com Now that you’re in your Walden era you should check out the game. It’s not great, but I mainly just love that it exists: store.steampowered.com/app/1011700/...

I had been saving two new short stories by two of my favorite authors, @marthawells.com and @playwrightsteve.bsky.social, for an emergency (arriving at the airport too early), and I’m glad I did. 🤖 reactormag.com/rapport-mart... 🕵️‍♀️ www.stephenspotswood.com/pentecost-an...

Crab Crawl is always inexpensive but its even cheaper right now. How about a game that you can finish on a weeknight? Is cheerful? Has got great music? Steam Deck friendly? Play as a crab! 🦀 s.team/a/3254550

A little over two weeks left to vote in IFComp! Anyone can play and rate at least five games before Oct. 15. There’s a lot of good, weird stuff in there this year! ifcomp.org/ballot

I gave myself a sewing challenge to try a dress pattern, and chose the Wrap Dress from a Great British Sewing Bee book. And she’s finished! There were tears, but I learned a lot. Invisible zip! Gathered sleeves! Facings! Understitching! Definitely worth it. #sewing #homemade #wrapdress #gaysewist

i've been taking a bsky break but popping back on to drop this! tabitha-if.neocities.org/wr_9-27-25

Watched the Wolverine (new video game) trailer. A) I’ve always preferred noir/detective Wolverine over tragic berserker; B) Superheroes, particularly the X-Men, are interesting beyond punching people in unusual ways and if that’s all your game is, you’ve failed.

Holy shit this targeted IG ad got me.
