This is what I'm talking about btw. One of the worst things I've ever gone through. I've underplayed it quite a bit, but it's gonna be a long recovery pain-wise that's kinda set me back a bunch. Also need to invest in a lot more home safety things.

In case anyone needs me for a while, the fall and injury, and subsequent trauma of basically being trapped alone and helpless for 11 hours has kind of hit me very very hard. I'm in a lot of pain as I go through recovery, so I may not be around for a while. This has affected me worse than I assumed.

I feel like I've been hit by at least 6 trucks, but possibly 7.

My new, super strong antibiotics have been making me dizzy. I'm already chronically disabled. Last night, on the RARE occasion nobody was in the house, I fell onto the hardwood floor and could not get up. For ten hours. It took me that long to call my parents out of guilt.

Trying to explain to people that playing a game called 'Don't Stop, Girlypop' does, actually, make a badass violent gamer thank you very much

everything, for me, is about staying safe and keeping two broken kids with complex needs safe normally enough but definitely in a “umm, and me too? What do *I* do” thing now. Thanks for getting us this far and I’m so sorry. Kofi: www.ko-fi.com/robfearon PayPal: www.paypal.com/paypalme/ret...

I hope I don't get hurt

If you get the chance to see the movie Wasteman, absolutely do so. It feels like a new generation's answer to Alan Clarke, Ken Russell, Shane Meadows etc. Unflinchingly beautiful and wonderful. The two leads are absolute masters at their craft.

Is anyone able to help me with this at all? I can pay it back later tonight/early hours of Tuesday no bother, I just really need food.

Would anyone be willing to lend me 50 GBP (about $70) until tonight/early tomorrow morning? I can pay it back, it'd just be a huge help <3

Just saw the most batshit post on here that I think it made me neurotypical.

Literally just today found out that Jamelle Bouie is a famous male journalist and not a famous female singer.

I would persuade Elton John to rename it Rocket Dan after famed games developer Dan Pearce.

I am honestly, genuinely blown away by how good Resident Evil: Requiem is. In my opinion very few other games in the series even come close. Each section improves on the last. The writing is actually good. The sci-fi bioplague plot somehow fits with the rest but also makes sense.

As a champion of High on Life since day one, famous* horror writer and a former games journalist, how can I blackmail I men persuade @squanchgames.bsky.social to send me one of those press kits with a Tech Dek in it. I need a High on Life finger skateboard!

Reminder of the greatest Resident Evil moment ever; when I completed a level using only my character's boobs (genuinely, no clickbait): www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJkp...

I may have jumped the gun on saying Resident Evil Requiem wasn't that great and in fact what I meant was 'it's one of the best Resident Evil games ever made'. Easy mistake to make.

This looks sick!

I'm two+ hours into Resident Evil: Requiem and... honestly this feels like a spinoff game and often not in a good way. It feels like a weird mix of Resi 6 and Resi Revelations 1. I'm enjoying it in the 30% of it where I'm not just wandering around aimlessly trying to work out what to do, but yeah.

In other news, Ralph Ineson being in High on Life 2 as one of the guns (ie he gets to talk a lot) absolutely made my day when I unlocked him last week. As an actual gun he's my current favorite too, replacing Creature.

Some of the games I've seen and played in this February's NextFest have left me feeling that indie devs may actually just genuinely save the industry. Now we need more folk to champion them. The money and support from gamers will be there. Tempted to start a 'weird indie games' channel/site myself.

I remember back when @manylittlewords.bsky.social shyly and reservedly suggested she had something she'd written that might be slightly decent and worth an editor looking at. Realistically, that wasn't that long ago. Now she's quietly responsible for one of the greatest modern gothic novels ever.

Gonna add to this; anyone can write. The fact I've become a (mildly) celebrated writer with a fanbase doesn't make me special. It means that I've been working hard on doing it since I were SIX YEAR OLD. Coming up with plots is the harder aspects, but there are ways around that.

@king-spooner.bsky.social Massive congrats to you folk. The entire horror community should be celebrating this. I could write a whole essay on how we need to take our own control of funding and art direction in this manner to keep the genre alive.

WE DID IT! Celebrations, as well as behind the scenes on the tech of the game in the latest Kickstarter Update www.kickstarter.com/projects/637...

Hey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

So this was about Love Eternal which seemed like a pretty standard Celeste-like but no, I was wrong, it is in fact for sickos.

The opposite of Sesame Street's Count Von Count is Bram Stoker's Dyscalculia

Bring some shmup action to your vinyl or minidisc player! 🪽💥 Here's the BIRDCAGE soundtrack by @barrytopping.com, created for @polygonbird.games' action shooter. Get it here: ffm.to/birdcage

Does 'this is for sickos' just mean 'this thing is made for fans of things like this' now?

That's all the Thief: Gold streams up on YouTube. Playlist available here - www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I always get put off when I see 'turn-based RPG' and then remember that a) I love them and b) one of my favorite games of all time is a classic turn-based RPG. I don't know what my brain immediately processes it as meaning.

This is mostly about finishing ur own personal games and to my mentees, but a commitment to finishing a game so that a player can play it is worth such a lot. If it bothers you, you can make a 2nd & a 3rd version of your game, but letting players get the chance to play it is important as a designer

11% left, this is tense. Thanks everyone for sharing. I'm deeply passionate about this sicko game and I just know you'll love it.

And, once again, they need to add Ski Jump But You Dunk A Basketball to the Winter Olympics.

Okay, how the heck is this not fully funded already? A grimy stop-motion horror adventure from the makers of Judero and Mashina. Not only do these folks work incredibly efficiently but there's no other team like it.

Support ABIDE - Jack and Talha are making some of the most raw and exciting games out there and this one looks terrifyingly excellent! 11 Days to go, let's get it done 🫡

In 1995, parent groups called for the ban of a solitaire game, citing its violent content, disturbing themes and a string of mysterious deaths that followed in its wake. 👁️🩸 You found a copy at a thrift store. Would you install it? 💿PLAY THE DEMO: store.steampowered.com/app/3414580/...

Oh my god I'm on the last 3 episodes of Castle Rock and what the hell are they doing? Have they really made a show just to mildly amuse a very niche portion of King's fanbase from the 80s and 90s? I mean really how many of us were still out here stanning for Pop Merrill in 2024?

Imagine being able to say "Yeah, I helped fund Silent Hill, it seemed to have potential" My intuition tells me, this is a similar opportunity

Horror folk; I genuinely think this game will be revolutionary for not just horror gaming, but the horror genre in general. It has 'landmark genre moment' written all over it. Be a part of history from the start and back this, for serious.

I just backed ABIDE on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/637...

The ABIDE KickStarter is now LIVE! Stop motion horror the likes of which have never been seen before! Back now and be involved with something very cool. www.kickstarter.com/projects/637...
