The Open Visualization Academy launches on FRIDAY! openvisualizationacademy.org More information in our newsletter: openvisualizationacademy.beehiiv.com/p/the-open-v... #dataViz #dataVisualization #infographics #dataJournalism

First game of the year done! Replayed Thank Goodness You're Here for the @slowgameclub.bsky.social. It continues to be a gem, really looking forward to the @lostincult.co.uk physical version of the game and the vinyl.

🎉 We’ve received 482 responses to the 2025 State of the Data Viz Industry Survey so far! Take the survey if you create #dataviz in any capacity (hobby, work, school, art), and help us spread the word: www.surveyhero.com/c/soti2025-b...

Some amazing data visualizations in here. First time seeing the “Talk to strangers” article and, as always, blown away by @puddingviz.bsky.social work

Want a look behind the scenes? People are curious about how we come up with (good) ideas at Voilà:. Here are five examples in a blog post. 🐝 📊

I will beg you all time, and time, and time again: Play 1000xRESIST. It is one of the best storytelling titles we have in the artful medium of video games.

APWOT 5 is real! 🦄 We'll be shipping in the next week or so. Thank you all for supporting the mag and making this a reality 💙

So happy I got this one from @stumpyfrog.bsky.social. It sounds and looks great. The Arctic Eggs OST is 👌🍳🔥

My end of year gift to myself 💖

Get your spooky playdate games for the season 💀🎃

Extremely happy and proud to have been a part of this project 🎉

A great bundle of games, Arco and Despelote are gems.

Preordered mine. I'm extremely curious to what this team will create, wishing them the best!

Played Echoes of the Emergent by @rngparty.bsky.social. It was more visual novel than game. It was fun though and it made me realize the Playdate is a great device for reading. The story is catchy and the art for the scenes was very well done. It was the perfect fit for a 2-hr train ride.

What The Crow!? for Playdate is nice, I've been playing on and off for a couple of weeks now and its always fun to jump in, cause some havoc for a couple of minutes and then peace out. Opening the second level without invincible mode on seems impossible though hehe

OH SHIT! brb

Blippo+ is back and in color! It stills scratches a very specific itch that very few things scratch nowadays. Zapping TV channels might not be everyone's jam BUT if it is your jam, then this is your jam. Clone Trois is still the best show, hand down 😤😤😤

Blippo+ and KRZ! One of favorite recent things and one of my favorite things ever in one neat bundle. If you haven't experienced them this bundle is a no brainer. store.steampowered.com/bundle/59156...

Valley view.

New World clone just dropped 👀 But this one is for the #dataviz nerds

Gimme gimme

An amazing collection of games from a publisher with amazing record and taste. Support these incredible creators and the unique games they’ve built 💖

Excited to play this, it looks amazing!

@blippo.plus is done! It was a nice show/game, really enjoyed tuning every week and opening the window into this weird little planet, not that different from ours. It honestly had some great "short" shows - Realms Beyond, Clone Trois, Wake Up Universe! all bangers. Can't wait to see it in color!

Let’s goooooo! Excited to herd these beasties across the whole world

You see this, quote with a title screen that’s iconic to you

happy first birthday to this man

physical games until I die, y'all

Time Flies is out and I know what I'll be doing this afternoon.

✨DIG! DIG! DINO! is now out on Playdate Catalog AND it's on sale for a little while! ✨ DDD is a digging game in which you look for dino bones, treasure and artifacts, upgrading tools and uncovering secrets on the way down! Made with @fayer.dev! 🦖 #gamedev #indiegames play.date/games/dig-di...

Well, that amazing season of @play.date inspired me to try and develop something for the little yellow device. It looks so fun to try and crossing my fingers that there will be season 4 or 5 so that I can try and submit something in the future 🤞😅

@play.date season 2 was a treat, all of the games and Blippo+ had something special going on. I’m going to miss my weekly Thursday surprise 😅 Hope there is a season 3 in the future 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

And all was good in the world 🙂‍↕️

Finally, the perfect excuse (not that it is needed) to play this amazing game. I am in 🏃

In the face of AI and end-stage capitalism, human creativity is still at an all-time high. Some of the best music, video games, movies etc ever made are releasing, despite all the obstacles, at an overwhelming pace. Humans are and always will be creative, talented, & inspiring.

I had a quick snort with this little easter egg in this week @blippo.plus programming. Love stuff like this.

"Slowly, gradually, the Playdate has evolved into something more like a large-scale, collaborative, physical version of UFO 50. It’s an alternate history Game Boy with dozens upon dozens of genuinely great games." 👍 pushtotalk.gg/p/how-much-game-can-you-fit-in-27-inches
