I put off playing this game for way too long, but it ended up being the perfect way to spend a not-so-scary Halloween night (yes I know I'm posting this in like mid-November, I'm slow, don't judge me).

A plea for help. 🙏 One of the lead playtesters of Blue Prince, Iggy, has polycystic kidney disease and has only a few months to find a living kidney donor. His story, contact and donor information can all be found on iggyland.org Please help us in sharing his story and getting the word out.💙

I just beat My Friendly Neighborhood a few days ago and wanted to mess around with some of the cheats I'd unlocked during my run. Turns out starting a new game with cheats doesn't disable achievements, and accidentally triggering the ending unlocked three achievements in the funniest order possible.

New favorite mall activity: find pop culture stores with a graphic tee display, look for stacks of any shirt with someone's face on them, and fold the top of the stack in such a way that it deletes their nose.

I love Steam Next Fest

Slime Rancher 2 Pro Tip: If you can successfully get a Lucky Slime zapped by a bolt of lightning, it does absolutely nothing.

Summoner is the best class in Terraria. You get to spawn a bunch of little goobers to fight for you while you smack enemies from a distance with a whip that annoys every player of the vicinity with the sound it makes. I will not stop playing this class in every run of this game.

look at this dude

Okay so life got in the way and I was VERY late to finishing this write-up, but it's here now. This was at the top of my most anticipated games list ever since I played one of its old demos a few years back, and I'm so glad I finally got to experience the full thing.

I think RSS should make a comeback

urara...

"I don't think that this is a game I'll dump a hundred hours into or anything, but it got me to engage with a genre that I normally don't enjoy playing, and that's got to be worth something." - @michael.jagreview.com Read the full review of Hot Pot Game here: jagreview.com/2025/09/03/r...

This game popped up in my Discovery Queue. I know train games are notorious for their ridiculous pricing and DLC practices that put EA's treatment of The Sims to shame, but having four different editions and over $3,000 in DLC when it's not even out for another month still took me by surprise.

If you haven't been on this heartfelt robotic journey, it's never too late. 🥳 Go on an unforgettable adventure with Buddy and Bag Boy in Misc. A Tiny Tale: store.steampowered.com/app/1308940/...

Help me I'm obsessing over the contents of a Mabinogi teaser site like it's 2008 all over again

Bilkins' was by far my #1 game of 2023, and is probably one of my favorite puzzle games in general. Clever, charming, criminally underrated, and an absolute steal at this price.

There's an adventure to go on, while you may be tiny it's nothing short of BIG! Clean, collect, and help make a difference as a little robot in Misc. A Tiny Tale - OUT NOW for Nintendo Switch & Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1308940/... #IndieGame #indiedev #gaming #nintendoswitch #unrealengine

Sometimes the pursuit of completing games requires me to do terrible, terrible things (this dialogue option was tied to an achievement because @miscatinytale.bsky.social is EVIL). You'd best believe I reloaded my save file so he could go right back to happy dancing. (Source: Misc. A Tiny Tale)

Finally made the time to start playing Misc. A Tiny Tale and I just found out that my little guy SQUEAKS when he crouch-walks. This might just be a 10/10 game already.

Okay, Strange Jigsaws is released. Have fun! store.steampowered.com/app/2702170/...

Huge thanks to @flebpuzzles.bsky.social for the early review copy. My only "complaint" with his last game 20 Small Mazes (which you should also play, it's free) was that I wished I had more puzzles with that same level of creativity, and playing through Strange Jigsaws finally scratched that itch.

I lied, I attempted that challenge again. (Source: Dead as Disco Demo)

This is my first video shitpost, please be nice

I just learned about the recent(ish) trend of AI generating all of its images with this weird yellow "Breaking Bad scenes set in Mexico" type filter over them, and I find it really funny that AI is essentially generating its own image watermark—or urinemark, if you will.

Got the itch to play a quick round of Word Play. Took the ABC Challenge modifier card at round one for kicks (gain bonus points if your next word contains the next letter in the alphabet), and miraculously made it all the way to Z on my first attempt. God bless refresh-heavy upgrades.

We didn't win the Arima Kinen, but we made up for it by sweeping the URA Finale on our first attempt. (Source: Umamusume: Pretty Derby)

what made me think this was a good idea

Dead as Disco when importing a song: "120 ~ 200 BPM for best results" Dead as Disco at 240 BPM:

So Mabinogi added this webpage popup that tells you how many hours you've played the game (a stat that's never been fully accessible before), and uh...yeah, that makes sense. Now I just need MapleStory to do this too so I calculate exactly how much of my life Nexon has taken from me over the years.

We made it to the URA Finals after blowing all my retries in the semifinals, and Vodka decides that using her skills during the race is BORING and that it would be COOLER if she just wasted them at the last second. I guess she was right, though, because she still won and got me my third Finals win.

Pictured: the Umamusume subreddit being very normal about the upcoming Kitasan Black support card banner, which is apparently a very good card. I laugh now, but I'm probably going to dump all my free carats into it and get nothing as payback, lol.

Let it be known that the game really did not want her to win this career. I had to redo the qualifiers because of this, but thankfully she got first place in the runback and made it all the way through the finals. Clearly the Winning Equation cannot be stopped.

I'm clipping every scream and funny scream-adjacent noise I hear in Umamusume and creating a giant compilation of them to post when I finally wind down from playing. Below is a brief sample of this ridiculous endeavor. You might be wondering "Why are you doing this?", and that's a great question.

I almost cackled after hitting the fast-forward button. I know these story mode races are supposed to be easy so the story is accessible, but this was just mean. It's like putting Usain Bolt against a high school track team—and my Gold Ship is only C+ Tier! (Source: Umamusume: Pretty Derby)

I'm not sure what gets me more: 1. The lyrics just being the singer repeating her own name over and over 2. The singer requesting the song on the jukebox without my input 3. Her requesting only this song and doing so multiple times 4. The fact that two people are credited for composing the lyrics

You sure about that, buddy? (Source: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time)

I said going into this that it would likely consume me for at least a month, and I was right on the money with that one. I'm so glad to finally play a sequel to one of my all-time favorite games, but now I want to pause the 100+ hour-long games and go back to the more bite-sized stuff for a while.

I can quit now, I've already won.
