For fans of good art. How-To Video Results is posting new stuff

blog post boiling within me titled "indie publishers, you need to get your shit together" based on this year of indie pubs submitting games to IGF w/ a demo and then when asked for a dev build so anyone can actually judge it, either ghost or go "we will provide you with a build on the release date"

Hard to believe it's already been ten years that Gaming Alexandria has been around. Here's a (late) article about our history, as well as special thanks and small blurbs from others of what Gaming Alexandria has meant to them. Here's to another ten years! www.gamingalexandria.com/wp/2025/11/g...

Myth is the Minotaur #HouseOfLeaves

Had a big Retro Gamer jumpscare looking through some Osaka relatives' photos (especially since I started playing dragon quest 1 the other day)

One of the most annoying things about The alleged game awards, is how many people who reported on how fucked TGA was in 2023 came back to TGA2024 and decided "no, actually this is fine"

Younès worked tirelessly during the leadup to the 2023 Game Awards to raise awareness about Palestine, to ask the Game Awards to support its community, and to create a movement among game developers and the press. And they succeeded. aftermath.site/one-week-and...

Bitterly ironic quote here from a 2023 article about the Future Class situation by Younès, whose name is absent from the both the articles I've seen today and the viral social media posturing by people who should know better. www.gamedeveloper.com/business/fut...

The pre-release for UZDoom's debut is here! If you'd like to help us test UZDoom in preparation for 4.14.3 grab the build here: github.com/UZDoom/UZDoo... (expand the Assets tab) (Windows and Linux available; Mac coming later) Read the details here: zdoom.org/wiki/UZDoom_...

If you're writing about Future Class today, please can you go beyond whatever quotes are currently circulating on social media and look into the actual origins of it and the young people who really put things on the line to raise issues and talk about it years ago when no-one else wanted to.

every clip people post about northernlion is him saying some "you need to touch grass. engage in earthly virtues, the pleasures of the spirit and the mind. reject dopamine. seek transcendence" while he plays 'Subway Surfers But It Makes You Addicted to Slot Machines' in the background

Eurosmug reactions conveniently ignoring that Mamdani's position on immigration would instantly slay 9/10 European politicians www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I was a member of TGA Future Class 2022 and lemmee tell ya, my skin has been crawling since pretty much every interaction I had with them (few) & story I heard about other members' interactions with them (many) was bad. & by bad I mean, so many shades of being used as photo op tokens & nothing more

Bluesky's semi-hidden "Sexually suggestive (cartoon)" moderation mode is one of their most embarrassing design decisions. I bet there's SO many users who think they turned on visible nudity but accidentally have on a setting that treats Jessica Rabbit as UNACCEPTABLE where dick on main is ACCEPTABLE

Hey! I've just reviewed The Séance of Blake Manor for @pcgamer.com - come take a look! www.pcgamer.com/games/advent...

Tired: Zelda II Wired:

Look me in the eye. And tell me. That David Lynch wouldn't have done this

So there's a really simple explanation: The Game Awards aren't a real awards show, nobody needs to care about this

The Steam page for The Many Sins of House Ocampo is now LIVE! ➡️https://store.steampowered.com/app/4102890/The_Many_Sins_of_House_Ocampo/⬅️ Wishlist, repost, tell your friends, tell the press! 📢

One of my favorite things about black metal is that when the song's about to kick in, you never know if you're gonna get hit with hyperspeed blastbeats that sound like they were recorded in or with a tin can, or the most beautiful lament you've ever heard in your life.

With adventure games specifically, the idea that adventure games are a "dead genre" is almost baked into the received narrative about adventure games to the point of distracting people from the fact that more adventure games are coming out now than ever were in the 90s

Been seeing an interesting thing on social media with both fighting games and adventure games, where people who haven’t played them since the 90s will say “I wish they still made X genre” or “there aren’t any indie games in X genre”, when they’re more active than they’ve ever been

I conditionally unconditionally recommend Seance of Blake Manor so far

Games Done Queer is streaming all weekend. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Zelda+Link dressing up for spooky season 🤭

STOP THE PRESSES. The ROM for the unreleased Famicom RPG Splatter World has been released (in a thread on 4chan, of all places). I've tried it myself, and it does seem to be genuine. If it's a fake, it's a damn good one. Expect (more) coverage on West Mansion soon. @hg101.bsky.social

I just wanted to see Ascari and Catherine in fancy dresses 🥺🥺

It's recently come to my attention that someone made a fake UZDoom website. DO NOT CLICK IT! The only official website for UZDoom is ZDoom dot org and the ONLY official place to get future UZDoom downloads would be the official UZDoom Github page! Stay safe out there y'all [Boosts appreciated]

New video is up - viewer discretion is advised. This game deals with very heavy topics and I talk in depth about them. This is a horror game worth looking at though: youtu.be/HuD-ypEKP4o?...

In Super Mario Odyssey, there is a single Luigi who is somehow too much for the Nintendo Switch to handle. Bringing the camera close to this 8-bit Luigi in Metro Kingdom at night will cause the game to stutter and slow down to 5 FPS. This is the only Luigi who has this effect.

Stalinism + erotica = PayPal

A bit ago I was invited to join the DOS Game Club Podcast, to participate in August's game of the month, "golf games." Well, that episode has now gone live! Tune in to hear two straight hours of us yammering about why Golf makes such a compelling computer game. www.dosgameclub.com/golf/ #DOSGaming

Bliss 2.6.1 2023 by Lucas Pedrosa A track editor for Stunts / 4D Sports Driving. It offers many features not to be found in the native editor. The download comes with three binaries - Linux (bliss), Win (bliss.exe) and MS-DOS (bliss. com). Screenshots from DOS version. www.raceforkicks.com/bliss/

It's "in medias res" two s's

Just randomly scrolling through the Steam release calendar trying to see if there's anything else I've missed, and... Y'know what, I gotta give props to a title that gave me pause for a second, just to process it.

this announcement feels like

RIP Tim Slam, gone too soon

A surprising number of people on videogame discussion forums don't actually seem to enjoy playing videogames, and only continue to post there because they vaguely remember liking one before the divorce.

The single player game The Seance of Blake Manor starts with this positive omen.

what’s this then www.deadstaticdrive.com/releases remember remember the 5th of november 👀

It's still an hour until Missing DOS Monday but... I FOUND IT. archive.org/details/MAGP... #Australia #AFL #DOSGaming #Wolfenstein #RetroGaming #MSDOS #RetroComputing #MSDOSMonday

DOS archaeology ain't much, but it's honest work.
