Today we revealed that Playstack is publishing PACS, and I couldn't be happier. This announcement is the culmination of a lot of hard work by some very smart people. And yet, it's only the beginning! Check it out if you like the apocalypse (too soon?), driving, and packages.

EZgif our lord and saviour

Bananacam! (Answer the survey IF YOU DARE)

Even arson is fun in Easy Delivery Co. @sweaters.bsky.social, thanks for this!

our next podcast episode is on mounts do you have a favourite video game mount and yes cars count as do flying clouds and other mobility devices

Got that Anno itch. Didn't have enough time to fully scratch it. Lots of fun with the demo, can't wait for release.

Who needs Oregon Trail when you had CROSS COUNTRY CANADA. COMMODITIES FROM CHARLOTTETOWN TO KAMLOOPS BABY. @pandoish.com aka child trucker

Galactic Civilizations twice is unreal 😭

city building irl whaddup

Are there any games out there about tolerating different spicyness levels from different food? I'm thinking like an Ozzy and Drix tower defense where if you cry you lose

I know this is late, but I just started playing Death Stranding—why is Léa Seydoux eating honey-I-shrunk-the-kids hairless Appas?

What's the use case for 9 on the toaster

WHAT IS @stevenmessner.bsky.social TELLING US HERE !!! had a fun time, thanks everyone!

I have a weird aversion to putting Sonic in a car. It was explained to me that this was the only way for Sonic to join a competitive race with other non zoomers, but I've played Sonic Adventure 2 so I know this isn't true.

Playstack is hiring. Looking for someone to join my team! Please check the job description jobs-playstack.breezy.hr/p/7248f8b928...

Roguelite this, roguelite that. I think we need a genre descriptor that means no rogue mechanics in a game. We're wasting valuable character space writing roguelite every time, when it should essentially be an assumed mechanic. I think that genre descriptor should be called toot-doot-ba-boot.

The Andor tee-up to Rogue One. The Rogue One tee-up to the Ep4. The Ep.4 tee-up to JarJar saying "That's a big booba!"

Previews seem to indicate I'll have to take a month off work just to be comfortable playing EUV. If that's true, I couldn't be happier. Important that we have deeply satisfying and complex games out there.

Tag. Tree. No that can't be right. What's the clue in this Blue Prince room..

Googling how to install Linux because Microsoft just sent me a desktop push notification to buy Xbox Game Pass

I signed up for the WEF newsletter during the manic height of the conspiracy. Thinking the world domination bit may have been overstated, but one things for sure: they make a banger newsletter.

In an NHL playoff pool with a bunch of Oilers fans... Like stealing candy from a baby

My GDC talk on the marketing of Balatro is now available for everyone! gdcvault.com/play/1035036...

I only played the first 15 minutes of Oblivion... The backlog... It evergrows

Drafting out a Spring/Summer project: bookshelf wall, with pull down curtain for TV... using IKEA Billy's to save some $$/sanity on wood. Not 100% set yet... if anyone else has made a bookshelf wall... let me know!

IT BEGINS

Love this. Have a group of friends that loves strategy board games (Dune Imperium, Wingspan, etc), and didn't know a ton of board game ports existed for their computers. Great to me reminded that PC gaming is still pretty niche.

Keys for Darkwater are going out soon! If you want to get...on board...and...dive into the action... Please fill in the form in the reply! Submarines - Monsters - Co-Op Shenanigans Check out the trailer and request a key www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfmr...

APPS: THS IS YOUR FINAL NOTICE. DON'T MAKE MY :D ;D ;) :) :( D: INTO EMOJIS. IF I WANTED EMOJIS, I'D GO TO EMOJIPEDIA.COM AND GET THEM MYSELF.

I finally played Balatro last night. Wow! Has anyone heard that it's a great game?

Evolve is a great place to work. Highly recommend checking out the posting if you're on the hunt for this kind of a role.

now Discord UI kinda looks like Slack... hopefully this does not cause a horrible incident

Anyone else play MMO strategy builders before they went pay to win? Tribal Wars, OGame, BattleDawn, Time of Defiance... would love to make a simple version of one of these as a fun lil' project, monetized with single purchase/cosmetics instead of in-game boosts...

play more games people play *better* games play games outside your comfort zone play weird, little freak games

key to big Discords me-thinks is how well we can nurture tiny-itty-bitty micro-communities within, and then how well we can bring those various people together for important beats or community events

honestly the lore of venice is some high-tier unbelievable fantasy shit. people fleeing the sack of their city make a town on some small swampy islands with no drinking water. they do glass blowing and create a trading empire. the first international finance center. real world lore is cool

Damn, Falling Frontier had a new trailer go up, and the unit barks alone have me sold. "Mining vessel—this is Coventry class warship yankee oscar three nine, acknowledge" Getting Homeworld chills down my spine!

Update: my in-laws have now played Balatro before me

Do I know anyone (or do my moots know anyone) who can speak to me for a Rolling Stone story about IRL stream snipers and how streamers can remain safe in these situations? Ideally I'd like to chat with a content creator or two and an expert in digital harassment/safety as well! Signal boost!

SWG branded joy to my memory, but it wasn't the dungeons or rare loot chests that made a lasting impact. It was the organic, weird, and often chaotic interpersonal stuff that kinda mirrors real life. It was... hawking meat! Raph Koster says the same is true in @playstarsreach.bsky.social.

Was looking for a puzzle game to help wind down at night, and am so glad to have found Manifold Garden. My brain hurts in the best way. The first time I realized that the infinity repetitions of the game are part of the puzzle-solving path, I gave the happiest out loud chuckle. 1000/10

I recently guest hosted on Digital Logik pc gaming podcast to talk Avowed and Eora. #8 on NA steam charts for Pillars of Eternity 2 playtime. Thank @jesawyer.bsky.social and @obsidian.net for creating one of my favorite fantasy worlds! m.youtube.com/watch?v=5MOr...

Taylor just told us about PoE/Avowed Eora and it seems there's a fantasy world I don't know much about and that has to be corrected STAT

Even though games through digital sale aren't being tariffed, this might be a cool opportunity to shine a light on Canadian game devs and the different local scenes across the country 👀

What makes an MMO worth playing? @raphkoster.bsky.social unsurprisingly has some thoughts. Had the pleasure of having him on the podcast talking about how the vision behind Star Wars Galaxies and Ultima Online continues in @playstarsreach.bsky.social. Spoiler alert: this one's good. Editing now :)

Been a long time since I've played one of these Where's Waldo findy games, Boobs Hidden in LA demo... honestly not bad! Next demo up: minimalist city-builder/puzzler AUTARKIS by @rockingprojects.bsky.social!
