For journaling purposes we just looked up how many hours we spent on 1000xResist. It was about 20 hours. I'm shocked at how small that number is. I feel like that game has consumed HUNDREDS of hours in my brain... #indiegames #1000xResist

Tetris 99 time! What more needs to be said? 😁 Come join some games at twitch.tv/javaconleche #gamersky #smallstream #tetris

Put on the running shoes and jogged a couple miles this morning just to get this very specific sticker 🎃 #happyhalloween #votenyc #gamersky #stickers

We got to play Call from Under the House recently at @igdanyc.bsky.social Game-a-Palooza. Loved it so much we bought it immediately! Now we can share it with you on stream! Live now: twitch.tv/javaconleche Come see this great pixelated Lovecraftian classic detective story! #indiegames #gamesky

🌟 🌠 STREAMING NOW! 🌠 🌟 WE'RE BACK ON SILKSONG and we got past the Mist which is cool, but I'm scared of what's to come (I'm also scared of tech issues lmao) 🔴 YouTube: youtube.com/live/yVfuekt... 🟣 Twitch: www.twitch.tv/lance_white #VTuber #vsky #HollowKnight #Silksong

Super thrilled that we were invited to the early access VIP hour of Game-a-Palooza by @igdanyc.bsky.social, really letting us maximize hands-on time with the many many games being exhibited. (1) THREAD with a few of our top favorites from the event. Be on the lookout for these! #gamesky #indiegame

Where are my Tetris gamers out there?! Doing some 99s and some team matches. If you just can't get enough Tetris in your life, come hang out at twitch.tv/javaconleche #gamesky #retrogames #smallstream

More content & notes coming later, but we just left @igdanyc.bsky.social's Gama-a-palooza and had an amazing time there. When you play a great indie game you can feel the love and care a small dev team puts into their creation - that feeling x100 over when you get to meet them! #gamesky #indiegame

I value human creativity, so it's wild to me how incensed AI users get when I shut them down, or refuse to check their stuff out. It's like, dude. I ordered steak, and you're pissy that I won't touch your pureed protein paste that you didn't even blend yourself. Fuck outta here.

I love me a good game-reference-in-another-game moment 🙂 Recognize this one? "I wish I could be the powerhouse of the cell" #indiegame #aminima #horrorgame

One of the most impressive Steam Next Fest demos so far has definitely been Love Eternal. Super short, but will live in my head for a while. The whole package is there: cool and unique art style, great game mechanic, eerie immersive soundscape. Left me hungry for more! #steamnextfest #indiegames

Recently finished Bahamut and the Waqwaq Tree from Starvania and @sspublishing.bsky.social - a lovely game! Audio was a star of the show, with the deep ocean sounds, the effects, and narrated storytelling. Really nice art style as well. So glad we got to play this one! #indiegames #gamesky

Sword of the Sea is, unfortunately, officially moved to my DNF list. Visually beautiful but crippling basic performance issues... I reached a point where the game crashed three times in a row. Really wanted to love this game, but 🤷🏾‍♂️

Come find out what the Fox says! (ugh terrible pun... 🤷🏾‍♂️) We're live now back with more Tunic -- twitch.tv/javaconleche #indiegames #Tunic #smallstreamer

I woke up surrounded... 😅

Are you a bilingual Spanish-speaking voice actor? We need you--especially if you're femme! If you know anyone who fits the bill, please tag them or send them this skeet. We can't make this without them!

Sooo how many times is it acceptable to make the "99 problems" joke when I play this game? Asking for a friend... 😅 Come by to join some Tetris 99 battles! twitch.tv/javaconleche #tetris #retrogaming #smallstreamer #gamesky

If you see this, I'm just curious! Which of your backlogs is longer right now, fully purchased games, or downloaded demos? Feels like it's pretty close to even for us... #gamesky #indiegames #gamesbacklog

CrossCode was an incredibly fun game. Can't wait to try out this team's next game!!

We heard there's some new indie game out there that's got everyone buggin' out, but we have a backlog to get through! No Hornet here yet, just an adorable fox with a sword. Join us for TUNIC at twitch.tv/javaconleche LIVE now! . #gamesky #indiegames #smallstream
