While I was half watching The Game Awards I finished a thread of 50 indie game recommendations. FIFTY! That's as many as five tens. And that's terrible. But seriously, I do want to impart something. There's a whole world of games out there, far beyond what's represented at the show, just as worthy.

The first version of #MalditaCastilla was released 13 years ago today! A dark fantasy sidescroller packed with myths from Spain and inspired by a bunch of mid-to-late 80s arcade games I love. Featuring a super on point FM soundtrack by @gryzor87.bsky.social Info: locomalito.com

Okay, I'll make a thread of 50 indie games which I'll add to over the week, staring with. 1. Carimara Play as a little goblin creature summoned by a witch to investigate what's haunting her cottage, it's a creepy bite-size mystery akin to the Frog Detective games, and has gorgeous visuals.

The award for "Most Workers Laid Off" goes to... EMBRACER GROUP For laying off roughly 7800 workers between July 2023 and July 2025

note: didn’t watch, just waited to see what got announced, etc. So Johnathon Bigot Blow got to have his next preglazed game Featured and a game that uses AI won an award. …please stop legitimizing this show

42. Unsighted Yeah, I recommend this a lot, but for good reason. Super fun top-down metroidvania where you're fighting against the clock as your friends are running out of life, it's tough and emotional, you can disable that feature, but I'd urge you to try your first playthrough as intended.

There's a thread going around where someone says "Ohh I don't know how you get people to go to the movies" and both that post and a lot of the quotes entirely misunderstand what Sinners proved: people want original movies with cool people and premises. That's...really it.

this slavery/US Prison piece has been soooooooooooooooo bad for my mental health. like …. Really really bad. It’s gonna help my mental health a lot setting all this research down and clicking publish.

PUBLISHING ON DEC 18TH, ALONG WITH MY PIECE ON SLAVERY AND US PRISONS this shii almost finished. ya'll ain't ready for this journalism. either one of these pieces. they will both be free like all journalism should be . junoryleejournalism.com

None of this is ever really of any good quality, it's easily debunked, but that's not the point. In aggregate, however, it gives the impression that there is problems with trans people and our healthcare, otherwise why would there be so many articles and news pieces? And that's why it's the volume.

Like, this is plainly lying so that people who read it are less informed on the subject than they would it they were just ignorant, it's straightforwardly untrue. This is misinformation with malicious intent; malinformation. But this is just one article in an ocean of hundreds each year. On and on.

Something I have to reiterate is that you are being straight up lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale, this instance reporting is already being torn to shreds by other people commenting, but the frequency of this kind of reporting is astonishing, it's neverending.

Give this as an early Christmas present to anyone who hasn't already seen it.

From someone I know on FB; About Dr Beth Upton, who is the REAL victim here, although you wouldn't know that from looking at the media; -the victim of transphobic court procedures, -the victim of a viciously transphobic media and -the victim of a transphobic hate campaign.

It’s late. I’m up. I’m stressed about funds. What else is new? Even $1 helps!! 05/500 ko-fi.com/beverlyannem...

Behold the wonder that is Kimie Arashiyama and her hamsters! #marriagetoxin

Hi all! I'm casting my paid mockumentary about YouTube drama culture ($500 CAD, about 3-4 minutes of dialogue, self-tape from home). Looking for a trans woman to play JENNA, an indie TTRPG creator whose Kickstarter blows up and then falls apart. Details + sides: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

that’s craaaazy

Surprise! I'm the translator on this~! Maybe it's silly to wax poetic on a title about gyarus being in lesbians with each other, but it's manga like this that really makes me so grateful to be allowed to do this job full-time. It's just so good! Me and the team will do our best!

Of all the writeups I've read on horses, this one feels like it's engaging with the combination of Text and Moment the most specifically, the most thoroughly. Really good read.

Fit tonight

“We spent several weeks writing prompts!“ …I’m a lazy person and even I am in full “get a real job” mode looking at this.

"ugh, uber/DD drivers are so LAZY, none of them will match with my order and my food gets cold" Base pay just got dropped to $1 per delivery in a ton of markets and y'all aren't tipping. Gas costs $4. Feel some shame.

The European kid with the PSP is pretty much my guiding light when I think of anything now

In case you were wondering what it’s like to boot a free to play mobile game in 2025

no AI in Romeo!! we ❤️ artists 🫶

cannot begin to tell you how happy I am to have stumbled upon the Paris building shared by metal music fans and the union for metal workers, what a delight

Next time on One Piece: Harald: Ah Loki! I know we share a deep, familial bond but I need to ask you to- Loki: *caves Harald’s skull in* Harald: ah! Good! you understand I know it must hurt to- Loki: *crushes him* Harald: let me tell you HOW to kill me first! Loki: you want me to kill you?

Ask yourself if kids prefer toys, or stores. Games from a generation ago were allowed to be toys. Games today are forced to be stores.

BREAKING NEWS THERE IS A CAT AT THE BAR

Chessie last night! 🙂

Ichi the Witch is so damn good: just goobers fightijg goobers

I am so infuriated to be told this by someone who flopped around in feigned helplessness for four years that I don't even know where to start.

Also, as someone who worked on HORSES and has also made porn games + comics: I really don't appreciate when people put down one thing I made to uplift the other! Especially considering no one at Santa Ragione *ever* framed it in these terms when we were discussing the Steam ban

Humble has relisted Horses.
