people are going fuckin hog wild with the Sims 4 roofing tool out here

it really is a mystery how prime gaming didn't crush steam

hello I am here to contribute to the 'Pluribus is very good' discourse thank you

Having free listings up on marketplace as a seller definitely sucks and makes me want to punch everyone in the face BUT! it is worth the feeling of managing to give something (that would have gone to the tip) to someone who is so stoked to get it for free!!!

Stacked year

I keep saying

Can’t believe my mum got to be in NYC the day Mamdani won

I have every @apwot.bsky.social issue and plan to continue that trend! Just one of the very best video game publications there is or has been. Check out the latest issue on Kickstarter!

(bored) I should put 3 to 8 irons in the fire (later) (juggling 8 flaming irons) damn this is kinda hard

Happy Halloween, enjoy this year's meme costume 👑🚓

SIX YEARS LATER WE’RE GETTING RESETTI ARE U KIDDIN ME LOL!!!

Potentially silly question, but is there somewhere online one can see a list of all the games that were showing at SXSW Sydney Games Festival this year?

I try so hard to stay in my lane and just do what I can, but every time I look up everything seems even more on fire than last time I peeked. When will stuff get good again, man! I hope it does.

Alas...

The year is 2025. The rarest skill in the world is acting normal for like 15 minutes. For me of course it's effortless

Hi and welcome to my post-mortem on why we did not take over Steam’s marketshare. Slide #1: We did not tell anyone we were trying to do this. Sorry, guys. This one is on me. I honestly just forgot. Like, I had it as a reminder on my phone, but it was there for so long, I just ignored it. Whoops.

parasensor from @ghoulish.com.au is a vicious little adventure, and i can't wait to see how it grows

(*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.ﾟ

Grow new connections in the middle of nowhere with this bittersweet cozy story. Delphinium is now LIVE on Kickstarter 💙🌿

Another awesome show from @galaxiesshow.com today! 👏 Catching up on the VOD now and perusing the Steam event with my second coffee ☕️

Holy crap the BBC actually gave the keys to Bluey to an Australian game dev this time. A Brisbane dev, even! www.bluey.tv/blog/blueys-...

🔥 Malys is OUT NOW in 1.0! 🔥 For a game about demons, you've all been absolute angels - thank you for your support along the way & we're so happy to share Malys' full release with you 🖤 Check out the launch trailer and then get exorcising below!

pov you force me to give an answer about marketing that isn't "it depends"

I am really enjoying the new Pokemon game what do other people think, I am too scared to read any reviews of new Pokemon game 😂

More people need to see that Crash Bandicoot watched Notting Hill in Sydney for the launch of Crash Team Racing in 1999. Go to the PlayStation AU Instagram account it’s beautiful.

If you're an Australian based dev releasing a game in 2025, please submit it through @sifterhq.bsky.social's form so it can be included in their 2025 round-up! This is such a good resource for folks looking for recent AU made games. Form here: www.sifter.com.au/add-my-game-...

concepting - fun, easy, exciting! executing - hard, tiring, not glamourous??? do not recommend

We received 100+ applications for Frosty Mini, which is fantastic, but it also means that lots of games get left out of our event. It's always incredibly tough. We want to thank every single dev who applied! You should all now have an email update from us (pls check spam) 💌

I will say this: a lot of new folks are clinging to a nostalgia for ‘getting a publisher’ as a marker of validation, of being a ‘real game’. And I’m here to tell you that’s bollocks. They need you more than you need them. If they can provide a service, awesome, but you hold the means of production.

Have you considered life is fleeting and our Steam next fest demo will soon be gone forever?

The McDonald’s x Street Fighter collab in Japan is incredible. No notes. 🤌

Never fails to perplex me that 16k people have watched me take this PS4 controller out of it's box, and I am still getting comments on this video 7 years later ??? This video is peak 2017. How did I talk about this controller for 3 whole minutes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozZA...

nothing like hearing your husband try to explain your three random games industry jobs to his colleague to give you an existential crisis

Find us at SXSW! We’re on Level Two of the ICC at booth two today (just inside the doors!) showcasing all things demonic. And hey, if you’re not here, you don't have to miss out! Check out Malys on Steam & grab a bargain - before the price goes up for 1.0 next week! bit.ly/playmalys

Frosty is ready for summer 😎 We're excited to reveal the new look for our December show! Frosty Mini will be a shorter showcase (compared to Frosty Games Fest in June), but it will still be packed with some of the coolest games made in Australia & Aotearoa, and a chocka-block Steam event to boot 🎮
