When South Korea successfully stopped a coup, arrested the former president, and prosecuted him, it sent a very strong message to everyone else: "You can trust that 4 years from now, you won't have to worry about him returning and fucking everything up." The US under Biden did the exact opposite.

The corporations all asking nicely for you not to call it slop or to fight back shows you have far more power with just your voice and keyboard then they have with trillions of capital behind it.

Some streamers will be playing Laugh Track in early access tomorrow! We'll signal boost and provide links as they pop up. We've updated the content warning to include a broad overview, as well as click-through specifics with full spoilers. Use if needed. www.fictionfactorygames.com/laughtrack/c...

That's what I'm talking about.

@lolotovcocktail.bsky.social It's almost here! Soon it'll be time to make even MORE ethically dubious decisions!

The year is 2003. I’m 17 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil. The year is 2026. I’m 40 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil.

New year, new game coming up fast! Laugh Track releases Jan 13. It's a perfectly normal sitcom where nothing weird happens! store.steampowered.com/app/3765430/... Meet Juno! She's a bundle of sunshine and cheer. And crippling anxiety. But remember, our Health Primarch says fresh air cures that!

Hey folks, I'm gonna start a new recommendation thread, and because I very recently did a huge thread of 50 indie game recommendations, it might be a little shorter, and I'll be aiming for NO OVERLAPS! Are you ready? 1. Look Outside I'll be brief. Just play this immediately, trust me.

We hope you've stayed warm this year. JOIN US FOR A COLD CHRISTMAS SPECIAL? 🎄 🐰 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePHO...

These two images of Chinese train driver Han Junjia were taken less than 30 years apart. Transformative change is possible when it is relentlessly pursued.

Schreier turned off replies so I can’t QRP: But here’s how much artists hate it. There’s a guy who makes genuinely good scripts for RPGMaker but I’ve seen multiple devs repelled from wanting to use them because the creator has GenAI avatars for his branding It’s poison the moment it touches things

If you're looking for a cozy book to curl up by the fire with, can we recommend a book... in VIRTUAL form? With GAMEPLAY? And CHOICES? And occasionally HEAVY-HANDED ANTICAPITALIST THEMES? Arcade Spirits and Penny Larceny are on sale alongside free games, too! store.steampowered.com/developer/fi...

A reminder about conduct:

There might only be about ten days left in 2025, but that doesn't mean the Year of the Shiren can't continue apace. 😌 Anyway, it's neat! It's basically Mystery Dungeon meets PS1 Resident Evil. I tend not to be into games that are super overt homages, but this is such a unique pairing, I don't mind.

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..." Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

We don't use AI to make our games. Anywhere. Not concepts, not prototypes, not placeholders. It's not that hard to just copy and paste the word "placeholder" several times or drop in a stick figure or orange square, but apparently that's too much effort for a multimillion dollar studio.

"You will be haunted," resumed the Ghost, "by Three Spirits." Scrooge's countenance fell almost as low as the Ghost's had done. "So you and two others, Jacob?" he demanded, in a faltering voice. "No. Three more." "So four spirits" said Scrooge. The ghost’s head dropped as it sighed. “Fuck’s sa

the right attitude

I ""watched"" multiple episodes of a show I do not watch to make this.

If any of you little miscreants *DARE* to come into our Fiction Factory Games Discord with **PRONOUNS** ...we will HUG you and SUPPORT you and it may go on for some time discord.gg/gaCcH2N

Took some time to unpack a few thoughts on Expedition 33. Watching what I thought was a "pretty good" game get transformed into A Cultural Object has been disheartening. So I have some thoughts on glitz, glamour, and respectability... transgamerthoughts.com/post/8027631...

youtu.be/z_fKA548aCQ NEW VIDEO, folks! Join me in taking a look at one of the best untranslated PS1 horror games, a game that really surprised me with its depth, earnestness and interesting gameplay! Yuuyami Doori Tankentai, the ambitious swansong of the PS1 Syndrome games.

"Hey Fiction Factory Games, why are all your new games releasing for free?" - so you can financially support other indies too - because this is how I want to spend my retirement - our community helps fund it - why the hell not, it's fun - fuck capitalism and competition Laugh Track arrives Jan 13.

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS. The coup was over in hours because people said no.

So at this point, I am of the belief that there is a conservative group in the background emailing companies and trying to get them to ban the game.

No Players Online - the full version of the viral abandoned online FPS horror game - is back on Steam. 🎉 The game was falsely removed weeks ago, just after launching, which has severely impacted the studio's survivability. Please spread the word, and support it! ❤️ (No Players Online Steam page)

HORSES by Andrea Lucco Borlera & @santaragione.com releases today! Banned from Steam, available basically everywhere else, you can already preorder it on GOG and it costs only 5 euros/dollars. I've played it but I can't say anything yet: just buy it.

People in the @hauntedps1.bsky.social community have banded together to resurrect and release yet another Madvent Calendar for December 2025 Open a door every day and play a little weirdass thing someone in the community made. It’s one of my favorite Dec traditions hauntedps1.itch.io/madvent5

Feeling sick stream. Come keep Forneia and me company while we read! twitch.tv/lolotovcockt...

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Epic Games sent a DMCA notice to my online stores for my geology-themed design involving a crossed pickaxe and rock hammer that said "PICKS...or it didn't happen" because they asserted that Epic owned all rights to artwork/mention of pickaxes, right before an SVP annual conference. Eric cost me $$$

Arcade Spirits, a tale of love and pixels from the year 20XX, is on sale for five bucks right now! store.steampowered.com/app/910630/A... But wait, there's more -- its sequel, The New Challengers, is one dollar! One freakin' dollar! Like, what? store.steampowered.com/app/1484620/...

Hey, @itch.io , is our game still shadowbanned because it's queer and anticapitalist and payment processors hate that? Yes, it is? Okay, then we're not participating in your Black Friday Sale you just emailed about. What's the point when you want to pretend our stories don't exist?
