Thirty-two years ago today, Myst was released. Happy Birthday, little guy! 🎂

You can play DDMR Pocket for NGPC on Ahchay's website now! No need for emulators or flashcarts. ahchay.com/NGPC/Play.ht...

a twist on this year's "bi visibility day is over, time to go invisible again" joke: everyone's gone to the rapture

The first entries have already started coming in for the DOS Game Jam! There's still plenty of time to join in! itch.io/jam/dosember...

We are playing a live nation venue tonight. We sell our own merch and at the end of the night, live nation is taking 20% of our merch money. Customary for live nation venues to take a cut of our merch. Meanwhile we barely get paid enough to rent a van, let alone tour LOL fuck Mike rapino!

You may recall when gentleman and scholar @imleor.bsky.social wrote about Chicago artists dumping Spotify last month. Fortunately, telling Daniel Ek to go fuck himself appears to be contagious! Solidarity to these musicians, and may their movement continue to grow. chicagoreader.com/music/gossip...

Most of the work on Enigma Heart for the past few weeks has been building environments and writing scripts for the end of the first act. We're getting close! ➡️ store.steampowered.com/app/2986980/... ➡️ hadrosoft.itch.io/enigma-heart #GameDev #IndieGame #IndieDev #PixelArt #EnigmaHeart

If you’re in line to get raptured, stay in line!

SHE IS RANKING BABEYYYY ✨️✨️✨️ Let's see if we can hit the indie bestseller list by supporting independent booksellers!! bookshop.org/a/13492/9781...

For sale:

lol incredible. I saw the post yesterday about that being the plan but you'd think they would maybe push the announcement back a month instead of still going ahead with it at the worst timing possible

remember RIGHT NOW asking gamers to stop supporting Microsoft and Xbox because of their role in Israel's genocide, largely to crickets? we could actually get some shit done if we acted swiftly and collectively but no.... "my entertainments"

Benefits to buying my game Landlord Quest on Itch over Steam: 1. Keep the files forever! 2. You’ll get a Windows .exe, AND a ScummVM build that can be played on most devices, even your jailbroken Wii U 3. A broke trans woman (me) gets more money per sale

bi visibility day AND rapture day?

I’m just happy for Gwar

Having a plex server is fun because you can put weird stuff on it like that soundtrack to the Devo fmv game that you bought on cd at a record store 20 years ago en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devo_Pr...

Instead of resubscribing to Disney+, you should be donating to the 00s mmo Myst Online, where you can experience many hours of fun exploring ages and playing their Rock, Paper, Scissors clone Ahyoheek

a games convention can just be some people hanging out at someone's house, like the first GDC en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_De...

ugh, should be preparing for the rapture but work has been so busy today

Happened to find this - it's a useful little website if you A) want to know why you should drop Substack and B) want a list of alternatives. A couple also have tools to import your old SS posts over. leavesubstack.com #kidlit

My brother was in a bad car accident on Sep 14 and has been in a coma ever since. We have set up a gofundme to cover his ICU stay, which as you know is crazy expensive (even in Mexico!). gofund.me/ca80fff2a

Other trans writers on here are taking the opportunity to push their books atm so I thought I'd stop worrying about looking opportunistic for a moment and shill the trans cyberpunk noir mystery I originally drafted in 2019. The world is vastly and grimly different than it was back then. 1/2

Ok here’s our submission for #FallingBlockJam, we called it spirit drop! Get the spirits out of the way of your potion ingredients! it’s a very barebones prototype rn🤓 🎨 @chukishima.bsky.social 🎶 @donutshoes.bsky.social 💻 @justmorgantime.bsky.social 🎰 me dirtbagboyfriend.itch.io/spirit-drop

Hello #TextMode SysOps! I noticed a lot of new BBS this month but most have default menus! Ew! Do you need #ANSIart graphics for your menus, games, or fileid.diz packs? I'm not asking for money but I want to support the #BBS scene and continue to see it grow; Make new #SysOp friends even! DM ME!

Yay! 2 hours and 44 minutes before the deadline, I've submitted my #pointandclick #adventuregame "Intern's Day Off" to the #109AdvChal! Find it at shdon.itch.io/interns-firs... #indiedev

Faggot Games: An Urgent Warning is available in (somewhat rough, linkless, imageless) plaintext! eclipse.gay is still under construction, but she's getting there. Check it out! eclipse.gay/blog/faggot-...

cool website!

Microblogging is for people to live blog what they cook, especially meals that are big projects. I am too much of a coward to do this but I appreciate everyone who does.

Again plugging Inoreader (www.inoreader.com) as my RSS feed reader of choice. I've got criticisms but it's easy to use if you've never followed RSS feeds before, has a free tier, and syncs your read/unread articles across devices. IMO beats checking social media to see if sites have posted articles

A great short VN and only $1!

None of this *waves arms everywhere* would be happening if J Allard was still working on the X-Box

Eldritch's code has been open sourced since 2014, and this alpha version (which is basically the entire game as it originally shipped) has been on the Internet Archive since 2020, and still Eldritch is our best selling game every month. Sharing code and builds and stuff doesn't hurt sales.

The ROM for the unreleased Virtual Boy game Virtual League Baseball 2 has surfaced online. It was planned to be released in 1996 but was ultimately shelved. About 3 decades later and we can now play this once lost game. Play ball!

I’m pretty sure 99% of my posts on here are already millennial complaints
