I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw. ( Also a good excuse for an #art study )

No no, I feel sad for you not knowing about my podcast

Hot take the 360 launch titles are actually pretty solid all things considered

Just played through A Short Hike. I love this #indiegame and recommend it to everyone. You have to experience its charms firsthand: little moments add up into an emergent story unique to your playthrough. Work + life have me a bit burnt out lately. I really needed A Short Hike, and am glad for it.

There is no greater honor for a spoon than to be hopelessly bent trying to scoop ice cream out because you don’t own an ice cream scoop even though they cost five bucks

They put my words in another book! I'm very grateful I got the chance to write about one of my all-time favorite visual artists, Ayami Kojima, for @lostincult.co.uk's Lock-On 006.

The wild box art of some of the lesser-known Psygnosis 'Psyclapse' label releases. Roger Dean is the most famous artist for many of Psygnosis's covers, but there were also others who created cover art for them, such as Ian Craig, Peter Andrew Jones, and Melvyn Grant.

Freaky ahhh ghost party?? OFF's got that. Existential dread? OFF's got that. RPG Maker-core? Yep, thats OFF, too. Read @broganchattin.bsky.social's case for it's timeless necessity! lifebarmag.com/how-to-make-...

Incredibly happy to be part of this and this captured a lot of my feelings in regards to rereleases and indie passion projects.

I think Dracula could defeat Frankenstein but I don’t think Count Chocula could defeat Frankenberry and that speaks to the richness of the characters

Ok the actual worst part of silk song is every time I enter a new room I get a little more anxious and tired.

New release: Moon Dragon (1997 - Win) - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/moon-dragon-y9t #abandonware

Curious to see what people think about Silksong once hype dies down. I’m digging it so far, but I do struggle to see what makes it more special than, say, Blasphemous 2. Just the vibes I suppose?

Wife: I'll buy a subscription to any publication that writes one honest story about the "masculinity crisis" that just says "Men want to be able to treat women like shit and still get laid" and just be done with it. There's no more depth to the discussion. There is no nuance.

Like Cowboy Bebop? Did you know there was a PS2 game only released in Japan? Did you know I released a full English translation of it that you can play now? Check it out here: github.com/SONICMAN69/B...

The Japan-only Cowboy Bebop game for PS2 has just been fan translated by SONICMAN69.

My Daydreamcast Cohost @broganchattin.bsky.social just put up his first review on Skybox!

DOOM: The Dark Ages review: Too much heavy, not enough metal by @broganchattin.bsky.social "You’re reminded of Quake, but in a bad way. You’re reminded in the sense of “oh man, I miss Quake.” That’s a bad feeling when this is an attempt at something new." Read the latest Skybox review here:

But is Paper Mario parry slop?

Not sure how to do this. My partner and light of 19 years, @mitzistarkweather.bsky.social has been diagnosed with metastatic (stage 4) breast cancer. We are hopeful that modern treatment can give her many more years of changing the world. If you’re able, we could use your help. gofund.me/99a35bf2

We had always planned to launch today, but it seems more necessary now than ever, so here goes: @brianbarnett.bsky.social, @hokutolucas.bsky.social, and I are launching an independent games website today called Skybox. You can read our welcome letter/mission statement here:

The Demon World background without the foreground elements. In the original game, it's filled with statues (?) facing left and are all the same skeleton with the scythe. I made them varied, and facing right, as if bowing towards Dracula's direction. #pixelart
