Just received my copy, today is a good day.

A few months late on this but- This is a stunning showcase and I'll be damned if I don't wishlist at least three dozen games. Insane variety and inventiveness to be found, these folks have gone maaaad, mad I tell you. youtu.be/kYRpN78fMfU?...

… before the essence of Greece’s “success story” is spelled out in clear-cut terms?

As stated before, a publisher to keep an eye on, so damn weird (complimentary)

These two articles, one after another, are enough to describe the field to anyone who might inquire about it especially around large companies and the most well-known 'properties'. 'Properties' where the folks who actually create them can't own property, or pay rent.

My initial attempt to try out Marathon was ill-timed but then there's articles like this that make me want to give it another look. It's a dizzyingly fast moving experience though, and one I could not stomach for long.

Considering the Independent Media Collective Bundle and supporting four worker-owned outlets at 50% off a month's subscription? Let's sweeten the deal: You will also get a 50% discount code to @alloymag.bsky.social AND @thejenna.bsky.social's Patreon. That's SIX independent outfits, y'all!

Post games has been a super pleasant surprise - after sitting down and listening to a couple of podcasts, I've already decided I want to support the project on patreon, added a couple of games to my wishlist and sat for a good bit with my own thoughts on games and game making more than once.

This looks damn interesting & is so very close to hitting its goal.

'Hot Fuzz is more like a Fabergé fidget cube, full of heart, its many, many contraptions and bells and whistles held together by so much humor and whimsy and craft as to be almost deliriously entertaining.' On Hot Fuzz, a brilliant comedy. www.brightwalldarkroom.com/2026/03/31/h...

One day of playing Hunt: Showdown and I'm working on MÖRKBÖRG enemies. I'm such a wuss but also so drawn into some horror elements in media.

I just bought 2 (???) extraction shooters to play single player a day before encountering this article, so I'd better take a look. ✍️

This looks very interesting and has a demo out. I saw it described as turn based resident evil 👀 store.steampowered.com/app/2537470/...

those emails sure are finding me

Apparently, some joker leaked the Titanium Court release date‼️ Don't be alarmed, we have our top maintenance worker on the case. In the meantime, please avoid the leak and avert your eyes ⚠️ 🏰 bit.ly/TC-Steam

A couple of hours in Occlude, and what a game idea. A solitaire spin-off, where the rules of the game are hidden, to be discovered by the player each time. Occultism, conspiracies, hidden secrets, narrative weaving itself with the medium and the way we play games. Great great great so far.

Go subscribe to @unwinnable.com and read the latest issue. Also buy and play Suzerain by @torporgames.com . What more could you want out of a Sunday?

Mothership is a website worth supporting and Esoteric Ebb sounds like a prime wishlist candidate.

📖 THE GAME NARRATIVE KALEIDOSCOPE ❄️ is out NOW! www.inklestudios.com/kaleidoscope 100+ essays on writing & narrative design, with articles from the writers of Baldur's Gate 3, Control, Call of Duty, Prince of Persia, Tomb Raider, Sam and Max... ALSO the Kaleidoscope Podcast with 2 full eps!

Seen a couple of clips the past week from some 1995 Kyrgyzstan documentary The Universe of Manas and had to check out the whole thing. Just absolutely fucking unreal levels of drip here youtu.be/jgJZCaOI5KE?...

Well that's one way to earn a wishlist.

I wholeheartedly agree with the title here.

"DDLC requires players to recognize they're complicit in a system that treats girls as content for consumption." A thought provoking article on @mothership.blog. I've had similar thoughts to the closing lines here. When trusting the player, is there a chance they'll actually misconstrue it all?

Another great pick for bandcamp Friday!

It's bandcamp Friday, why not buy something cool and support some musicians? Something like this greek band I just discovered, with album tags such as: rock, art rock, death jazz, electric, mediterranean (!) sister-gr.bandcamp.com/album/untrue

Stating once again the quite brilliance of this cute puzzler. I'm thinking about studying it like platformer devs do for Mario levels. It has a free demo, do try it out.

"But what the makers of Dragon Age have done,[...], is to simply tell stories that are about the pain of constrained choice — making the mechanical lack of quote-unquote "meaningful" choices into fuel for the franchise's biggest gut punches. "

Öoo is a brilliant, deceptively simple, charming puzzle game. It made me smile 5 times in the first 30 minutes. Play it. store.steampowered.com/app/2721890/...

did you know i'm cofounding a new gaming publication? does the world need another one of those, you might think. watch the video & you will see what kind of publication mothership.blog is, and why it needs to exist. we're running a 15% off lifetime deal on subscriptions for the next four days ONLY!!

D1301.2 Drinking blood teaches animal languages.

Who knew Mass Effect 2 was a good game, then? I might be (looks at calendar) 16 years late, but it's a good game.

A great piece on a game I'm very much interested in playing. Folks growing alongside their skills, their styles and preferences, resulting in more uniquely personal games that are decidedly theirs is something I hope this industry (bleh this word) and audience can foster.

Going from The Division 1 to 2 is like eating too much candy and washing it down with an energy drink. Everything is faster, more colorful and wow it's making me not excited.
