THE ERA OF THE COIN BEGINS

We made a new game. It’s called Q-UP. It’s a coin flipping eSport. There’s a free demo! store.steampowered.com/app/3730790/...

years ago, some flash developer came up with the single coolest idea for a tactics game ever and made a game for the Lego Website called Spybotics: The Nightfall Incident Today, 23 fucking years later, an indie dev has FINALLY MADE A SUCCESSOR AND I GET TO PLAY IT ON STREAM!!!!!! bimbo.city

Enjoying @flantz.bsky.social 's The Beauty of Games. I like the idea of games as the art form of instrumental reason. I'd add: they are also a moral form of instrumental reason, keeping it in check, eluding totalling worldviews, and rooting rules in pleasure and voluntary agency.
