I am very much entering 2026 feeling tired. I have a cold... again. I think my immune system just isn't great. I seem to have a cold every few weeks since October. My body is signalling that I need to slow down, rest more and look for the small joys of the world, like this sprinkling of snow ❄️

I've loved his having time to be creative, whether it's doing a puzzle, cross stitching or making a book nook (new hobby unlocked 🔓). I want to do more of this.

I'm currently playing As Dusk Falls by @interiornight.com on PS5 and I can't believe I've never heard of this game. It's so much fun. We're playing online co-op with our friends and it's a blast. The multiplayer up to 8 players is perfect! Best online multiplayer I've ever played.

You're definitely going to want to see the £850 goal, just saying...👀

Due to some technical issues, we had to cancel today’s stream. We’ll be back for more @jinglejam.co.uk fun on Wednesday the 10th, playing Escape the Backrooms and giving away 2 Steam keys! You can still donate to our @autistica.org.uk fundraiser here: tiltify.com/@secret-mode...

I've been wanting to decorate my Christmas with pink and gold decorations for the last couple of years and every year I go back to the classic green, red and gold. This year I finally bought pink baubles. I gotta be honest, I think it's kinda, bland but I'm glad I got it out of my system.

I just finished Winter Burrow and I have a lot of thoughts after my 13 hours of gameplay. It's by no means perfect but it's a nice game when you're not constantly running around trying to make it back to the burrow before you freeze to death 🥶

It was an absolute blast getting glammed up and hosting the #CozyQuest2025 awards with @chrisgrovese18.bsky.social. Always so fun. Thank you so so much to all the devs who've taken part, everyone who has watched, shared and supported this week. Safe to say it's been epic!

This is what I've been working on over the last few months. It's been a lot of hard work and I'm so excited to finally announce it. I'm super proud of what the Cozy Quest team has achieved this year.

How is it October? I swear it was August just last week.

I'm currently on holiday but glad to see this lovely game popping up in my feed today. vm.tiktok.com/ZNd4Mnyju/

This game is so special, and made by a small, passionate team of super lovely people who are all putting a piece of themselves into this game. It's an absolute joy to be working with @lab42games.bsky.social on this ❤️

WE ANNOUNCED A FOOTBALL GAME BABYYY ⚽ Welcome to NUTMEG! - a love letter to English men's football of the 80s and 90s. Management sim, meets deckbuilder, meets a whole lot of nostalgia 📺 It's been a total blast helping set up this reveal with the @wearesecretmode.com gang and more fantastic teams!

Reshape English football history in NUTMEG! Take a step back in time to manage your favourite teams through twenty years of the beautiful game, starting in Division Four and taking them to the top of the table.  Coming to PC via Steam in 2026, from Sumo Sheffield.

What's everyone's game of the year so far?

Ooo I wonder what this is. Something about football maybe? 🤔

If you're the dev, publisher or community manager for Echoes of the Plum Grove and you're wondering why your sales might have had a spike recently, it's down to a cozy game FB group who are sharing the wildest stuff happening in their games. It's wild. Even I might buy it at this rate.

Lol my counselor/therapist type person I'm seeing wants me to gameify my calls to my mother so I feel like I've won whenever I call her rather than feeling drained afterwards. She suggested a bingo card of regular sayings or phrases. Has anyone tried anything similar?

It's finally here!!!! My evening reading for the foreseeable. Thanks for writing it @victoriatran.bsky.social

I love working here so much. The awards are always great fun. Thanks for hosting them @allthefawkes.bsky.social .

We got paid to do this. Sit back, enjoy the cringe, and praise @gtgvicki.bsky.social for doing the vast majority of the heavy lifting here 👏 (oh, and buy some of our games on sale to justify this madness)
