This isn't the game you think it is. It's The Looker (🔊 SOUND ON for a genius maze puzzle) If you loved The Witness you'll love this. Proper laughs and affectionate parody. #TheWitness #TheLooker #SteamDeck

RACCOIN is a coin-pusher roguelike and that's me hooked on another one then. @raccoingame.bsky.social @playstack.com #Coinpusher #Roguelite #SteamDeck

Metal Slug is still the g.o.a.t. run 'n 'gunner. The game I've completed the most times in my life. Never gets old. #MetalSlug #NeoGeo #SNK #NintendoSwitch #SteamDeck

I loved Children of the Sun. I’m not into dark games at the mo, but COTS’s scuzzy, buzzing commitment to it all - with the brilliant bullet-bending conceit - makes it totally thrilling. A good length and great finale level too, nails the landing. @devolverdigital.com #SteamDeck #ChildrenOfTheSun

Lonely Mountains Downhill is magic. Looks, sounds, feels so great that the inevitable falling down is ok, cos you’re outside in glorious fresh air. All that lovely slapstick & enjoyable perseverance too. @megagonindustries.bsky.social @thunderfulgames.bsky.social #NintendoSwitch #SteamDeck

Found this 3" CPC diskette at the inlaws'.

I wish Jackbox Games would make a You Don’t Know Jack UK sequel and get Paul Kaye back as Jack. @jackboxgames.com #YouDontKnowJack #JackboxPartyPack #YDKJ

Still one of the most satisfying game mechanics ever, from The Unfinished Swan #PS3 #PS4 #GiantSparrow #TheUnfinishedSwan

#Resogun is still one of the fittest, greatest games ever made. I must get to #Returnal at some point #Housemarque #PS3 #Shmups

I woke up to NESBOOK having cracked 14k, which is super close to 75% funded! Day two isn't even over yet! It's been helped along by a ton of shares, so please keep sharing the campaign, it helps us out a lot. 🙏 www.kickstarter.com/projects/nin...

Starting to think Aura - like garlic - is the way in #Megabonk #VampireSurvivors @megabonk.bsky.social #SteamDeck

The iRacing Arcade demo totally sold me on it. Feels like the same proper handling of Circuit Superstars. Which is good, because Circuit Superstars rules. @iracing.com #SteamDeck

#Balatro 🔥flames🔥 are still the best flames in games @playbalatro.com @playstack.com #NintendoSwitch #Roguelite #Roguelike

Folks were right: what a lovely looking and feeling thing Skate Story is. @skatestory.com @bysameng.com @devolverdigital.com #SteamNextFest #SteamDeck #SteamNextFest2025 #SkateStory

Turnip Mountain is ace. Donkey Kong: King of Swing feels, but evolved. The most fun I've had with a demo this #SteamNextFest Nice work @lukesanderson.bsky.social :-) #SteamNetxtFest2025 #SteamDeck

Extremely rare b-roll footage of an Electronics Boutique in late 1994 or early 1995. Enjoy it! I found this among 40TB of files from Digital Pictures' archive.

Yep. Normal game. #TingusGoose #SteamNextFest

I've never felt so left out from the almost universal love for a game as I do with Hades ☹️ I can see it's excellent in so many ways. I know that many people can't be wrong. But I've tried it about 5 times now and each time feel nothing that has me think 'this is about to click' 😐 Good dog, though.

Kids these days and their brainrot skibidi "6 7" ohio memes, back in my day we had GOOD brainrot memes like badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger mushroom mushroom

It's taken about 5 minutes of playing #Megabonk to understand Vedinad has absolutely nailed it. Super impressive @megabonk.bsky.social #SteamDeck #VampireSurvivors

They should put Frasier Crane in Fortnite

Very much enjoying making a little progress in Myst. Finally plugging a big gap in my knowledge of gaming's big-hitters. The lovely look and sound of the sea makes me kind of long for VR too... @cyan.com #Myst #MYSTober

I feel like the thing I always find myself thinking when ppl are talking about "oh the gaming audience is awful" is that, like... i'm not sure i believe that so much as I believe that any unmoderated space will inevitably surface the most toxic people (who drive away more-reasonable ones)

🚨 scam alert🚨 someone stole our game and is selling it on the AppStore - it even made the iOS bestseller charts... this version of CloverPit is not made by us, we don't get a cent and it's barely playable, please don't buy it!! CloverPit is currently only out on Steam

I was excited for new Alan Partridge and have watched all the new Alan Partridge but now I've finished watching the new Alan Partridge I'm sad there's no more new Alan Partridge :-(

@superchartisland.com hey, thanks for the follow. Just found your stuff and saw Monty On The Run and Track and Field within the first few links, couldn't be happier :-)

All I think about now is getting Nate where he needs to go @babystepsgame.bsky.social #BabySteps

Best game ever made @babystepsgame.bsky.social #BabySteps #BennettFoddy #Steamdeck @foddy.net @devolverdigital.com

The people of planet Blip might be deluding themselves a tiny bit, based on my experience of boring a colleague :-) @blippo.plus @panic.com #Blippo #Blippo+ #SteamDeck #BlippoPlus

A modder has turned a Nintendo 64 controller into a fully working Game Boy Micro. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/modder-...

I'm back at that point in Vampire Survivors (@vampire.poncle.games) where you start seeing gems when you close your eyes :-) Very much enjoying getting hooked again this week, the campaign modes are great. @poncle.games #VampireSurvivors #poncle #SteamDeck
