why are there no cool, pre-written trivia night formats with unique game mechanics... we need an itch dot io community for trivia heads

very excited to play new stuff this #nextfest!! anything i'm missing?

damn. hoping it at least signifies something

NEW RADIOLIGHT TRAILER DROPPED got to work on this one with @krystofknesl.bsky.social (man, myth, legend, etc) himself & i think you can tell that we both REALLY like movies #indiegame #trailer #horrorgame #horror

i'm glad they included classic horror characters like *checks notes* Doja Cat???

i keep seeing that one cozy game that didn't pay their gamescom volunteers on my TL and i do not like it!

benny safdie going on logan paul's podcast to talk about how the rock got yolked.... i can't tell if auteurship is dead or more alive than ever

huge news for a guy like me fuck the NYT (obviously not ONLY for putting the mini behind a paywall), support the goat of indie puzzle sites 💛

the free market breeds innovation

u know i'm about to post a banger if this is the file name

What video game do you consider perfect?

plans to actually enjoy this city fell through, so i played @krishraghav.bsky.social's Don't Get Your Hopes Up instead! i've been struggling to love amsterdam recently and it feels good to see that others do too. oh, the things we endure to live in a city with cool birds and good (non-dutch) food!

FINALLY found a good deal on my dream camera so i did the scariest thing imagineable (treating myself to something)

who up strangein they antiquities

time for a 💥gamescom recap thread 💥!!!! the first time i went to gamescom was 10 years ago - i went as a consumer cause i wanted to meet my online friends! teen ben would’ve NEVER expected to one day end up working in games and attend gamescom as an exhibitor

writing our gamescom wrap-up blog

The absolute gall of publishing this toss when Palestinian and Ukrainian children are lying face down in rubble.

come say hi to my tired ass at indie arena booth #gamescom2025

watched the marty supreme trailer and i think i'll have to retract my previous statement... i think benny is the safdie that had all the sauce

if you're in cologne, come talk to us at #gamescom2025!

NEVER SHUTTING UP ABOUT THIS

the bob dylan needle drop is one of the weirdest things i've ever seen #battlefield6

A horrifying statement published today by the Editorial Committee of the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency. "Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die" Translation from French to English by @cnorristrent.bsky.social:

If there was ever any doubt that Donkey Kong was a natural adversary of Margaret Thatcher, his past as a miner has put that to rest.

i made my colleague cry so you should go play the connections i made

Just when it looks like cozy games may have reached their peak, they keep getting bigger and more popular. Here's my story on why and how for The Guardian, including lots of amazing insights from folks across the industry:

i'll be at #gamescom if someone wants to hang out and talk shop (about community management, indie games, ...) or have a yap off (about post-punk, d&d, politics, ...) just hmu if u wanna hang 👉👈 #gamescom2025 #IAB25

Revoking an artist's visa for their speech, no matter how controversial, doesn't make us safe. The government should not be policing the artistic or political expression of citizens, visitors, or anyone else.

'not gonna buy ANYTHING during this steam sale', i whisper to myself while i add a fourth game to my cart

here's how cuomo can still win

the idea that cuomo wants to run AGAIN after having his ass handed to him crazy style is hilarious to me

it's incredibly grim out there right now so, even as a european with no stakes in this whatsoever, zohran towering over the establishment feels like the first glimmer of hope in a veeeeeeeery long time. it shows that with a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and imagination, we can still win.
