Cast n Chill on steam deck while I drink coffee is my new morning routine 😮‍💨 I just can’t get over how stunning this game is. The soft banjo tunes and ambient nature sounds really enforce the “chill” vibes 🐟 ☕️

Four games that defined my 2025!

Before I wrestle with myself and wrangle together my official top 10 games of the year, I wanted to give a little nod to another top list... This is a thread of my top 10 favorite games to screenshot of 2025 😍📸 (in chronological order of release)

I haven't been moved by a game in the way UNBEATABLE (@dcellgames.com) has since Life is Strange came out a decade ago. Beyond the stellar gameplay, banging soundtrack, and gorgeous visual style lies a Story mode so brash, heartfelt, imperfect, moving, and existential it feels unlike anything else.

CorgiSpace by Adam Saltsman and published by @finjico.bsky.social is the perfect treat. A collection of retro style games that are well designed, thoughtful, and humorous. Fellow UFO 50 sickos will really vibe with this 😌 Some of the games are super laid back and chill! Fun 😌 🧡

While I’m working on my end of year content I need to give a huge shout out. Playing both A Space for the Unbound and Wanderstop early in the year helped so much with processing my grief. The help with my mindset lead to monumental changes in my life that I don’t even know were possible.

Someday I’ll be able to play a game and be able to comprehend and pay attention to the story while also balancing mechanics and gameplay 🫠

If you were going to introduce a non gamer to an indie game for the first time, which one would you pick? I have a new friend and they’ve never really played a video game, so I want to pick something that will feel approachable but also make an impression/highlight the magic and artistry 🤔

Not to be dramatic but the gay hockey show is low key healing something inside of my soul

I love seeing short indie games get the hype they deserve! Great read!

Im seeing more and more ppl play Many Nights A Whisper, please do yourself a favor if you haven’t yet. It’s extremely high on my favorite games this year, and one of the few to leave a lump in my throat for days after I finished it

the push towards AI in creative industries will briefly disrupt creative jobs, until people quickly realise how much human creative labour is necessary to make an “ideas guy”’s idea remotely interesting to human audiences. between “ideas guys” and creatives only one is actually replaceable by LLM
