✨ new video! ✨ it feels like every other game is being pitched as “balatro meets x” these days and it’s clear a new subgenre is developing in front of our eyes. what makes a “balatro-like” and how seriously should we take genre labels? check it out: youtu.be/BwhSDQHEQvM 🃏

always a joy to work with the ITA crew! hope everyone likes the new season art as much as we enjoyed making it 💖

my favorite gaming podcast. their console retrospectives are so good and fun to listen to (the dreamcast one is still my favorite). definitely check them out if you haven't yet.

Surely this is a gift for me as I recover from covid, a 6 hour podcast about the PSP that culminates in a conversation about Parasite Eve

it's finally heeeeeere go listen folks. there's a playstation that fits in your pocket!

Sorry to every other podcast this week. PSP is the only thing that matters now. It’s PORTABLE

Wanted to share the amazing art @humblegoat.bsky.social did for Season 8 of the show, along with a mobile version if you want to make it your wallpaper!
