Present Placer is our 22nd day release for the 2025 #pico8 Advent Calendar. Between the art and the gameplay, this puzzler is amazing. Definitely one of my top favorites this year.

And this is why, despite loving Star Trek more than any other entertainment on this earth, I refuse to spend any money on anything Paramount or CBS.

Decided on my concept for my #toyboxjam2025 entry. A Metroidbrainia-ish puzzle game. Swap different abilities to navigate out of a large maze. Got movement, physics, and the first power up coded yesterday. I love designing in #pico8, always a blast

As was noted by Professor Hulk in Endgame, “these are confusing times.”

Gift Gatherer by Nerdy Teachers is today’s 2025 Pico-8 Advent Calendar release. Nerdy Teachers is respected and legendary in the #pico8 community for a reason - their how-to materials are second to none and their games are incredibly fun and well polished. Check this one out and see for yourself.

People like to quote Mr. Roger’s with the “look for the helpers” stuff. But he was talking to children. When you’re an adult, you are responsible for being the helper. Good job, @ricksteves.bsky.social. I admire you even more than usual

Another 2025 Pico-8 Advent Calendar Saturday stocking stuffer trio! OBSI - One Button Santa Invaders, a shmup Toy Maker - a puzzler And the extremely fun Jungle Bells. Ever wanted to mash up Santa with Tarzan? Now you can.

My GOTY goes to: Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar for Sega Master System That’s right, an ancient-ass game from the 80s. It’s the game I enjoyed the most out of anything I played this year. Absolute banger.

This has been the year of indie games for me. I’ve got an outright moratorium on AAA games. If it wasn’t indie, it was emulated retro. And while you’d think this was restrictive, this has been one of the best years of gaming I’ve had in a long time. I think this is my permanent state of things now.

Tom Hall’s #toyboxjam2025 kicked off this morning. Looking over the assets, they look amazing… But I have like no idea wtf I’m making with ‘em. Guess I’ll be noodling on that all day. Whatever I make it will, of course, be in #pico8 Check out or join the Toybox Game Jam: itch.io/jam/toy-box-...

I got into art because as a hobbyist solo-dev, I have no other choice because I have no budget. My pixel art is actually getting kinda decent now at least. People told me Pico Present Swap’s art is “cute”

Trump: You ingrates, recognize how awesome everything is because I’m the greatest! Okay yeah, sure. You seem so tethered to reality right now, Donnie. Ummhumm

LinkedIn sent me an email offering to show me my LinkedIn year in review! Not everything needs to be Wrapped. What would they even say to people? “You spent 6 months unemployed. You applied to 1,347 jobs and got 2 interviews. You were ghosted by 15 recruiters. 8 jobs were devil corp scams.”

I hate the way this administration keeps putting me in the position of having to agree with Thomas Massey

In regards to the news of Mozilla’s new CEO wanting to cram AI into Firefox and strip ad blocking out, I once again trot out this banger of a post

Nobody said the cyberpunk dystopia was going to be so stupid when it arrived.

Microsoft is completely committed to the destruction of their Windows, Edge, and Office Products and I struggle to understand it. This is not 1996. Users know how to tell you no now. What tf are y’all doing?

Ever wanted to play Balatro, but make it 8-bit, Blackjack, and Christmas themed? Well, now you can. 2025 Pico-8 Advent Calendar day 16’s game is here. Try Deck the Halls, it’s a good time!

It's a movie about a man who receives thousands of letters, has amazing gifts, is constantly surrounded by snow and who always knows if you've been naughty or nice - which is why I wish to go on the record to say that 'The Dead Zone' is, in fact, a Christmas film.

D&D 2e was the best edition. Do not @ me, I am correct.

When the boss cracks a joke. A ha ha ha. Ha. A ha ha ha. You are so funny, bossmang

when mariah was like "all i want for christmas is you" it was because kohl's cash hadn't been invented yet. not many people know this

Have you ever said to yourself “gosh, I wish I could play an old-school Infocom-style text based adventure about arctic mad science outposts with Christmas? And if it could be made by iD Software cofounder Tom Hall, that would be swell?” Have I got a game for you. 2025 Pico-8 Advent Calendar day 15!

RIP, Rob. I’m not going to pretend I was the world’s biggest Rob Reiner fan but, I loved many of his films. Princess Bride and When Harry Met Sally, chief among them

Today’s 2025 Pico-8 Advent Calendar release is a special one. From the stunning and cute pixel art to the gameplay, this is one of the best entries in the entire collection. I really enjoyed playing it, so shall you.

So AI toys for kids are about as stupid as you’d expect

Well I bet FIFA’s feeling pretty silly now huh

“Did you like that necklace I got you? You don’t remember? I gave it to you last week. You said you loved it. You really forgot that quickly?”

Windows Hello: Enter your pin. That’s not your pin. That’s not your pin. That’s not your pin. Me: I am entering my pin. Here it is yet again. Windows Hello: …That’s your pin.

The GameCube had the greatest controller in all of gaming. None can top it, nor should they even try. Send skeet

See, they think you’re stupid. And the thing is, if you voted for Trump or still support him, you are. You are a very stupid motherfucker.

Given Trump’s reposturing of US security planning towards NATO, I present to you all this updated North American continental map
