Hello. About a year and a half ago, some guy called Ralph asked me if I wanted to make a new videogame website. We're launching it today. Maybe you can even visit it if people stop hammering the server for a second.

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

This is important to sign and share. I archive Dutch language educational games (yeah very niche, that's why they require archiving) and I have to deal with lost media a lot. Don't let games disappear, please.

The real gem, that I absolutely fell in love with is The Big Catch: Tacklebox. It has it all: The music, the visuals, the challenge, the animations, the move set

It makes me very happy that there is a bunch of great looking indie 3D platformers popping up lately. I'm a bit picky when it comes to controls and move sets, so I rarely like how they feel, but Big Hops is definitely one to keep an eye on.

Been playing this the last few nights and it's a nice little gem of a wander & mine. Good style, a great example of a "simple"
#pico8
game that isn't simple :) If you're looking for something to balance out whatever fast-paced action game you're digging, this will do the trick.

Holy cheesecrackers. Bookmark this long read and take it in pieces, but it's dead on and full of details and you need to read it: "Rot Economy..A death cult has taken over..using software as a mechanism to extract value at scale in the pursuit of growth at the cost of user[s]."
