The single best thing you can do for Magic fiction right now, even if you don't read YA, don't like Arcavios, or personally hate me as a writer, is pre-ordering this book. That sends a message. A very clear one, that is unlikely to be ignored.

this is still funny as fuck actually

anyway you should watch the trailer if you haven't already. dunno what else to say. it's in 4:3 because of the reason

if you follow Rogue for nothing else, follow them for keeping the flame of ASCII art alive

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

Sonic sure does collect a lot of gems, huh? The Chaos Emeralds, Time Stones, Super Emeralds, the Phantom Ruby... But has he collected the Cerveza Cristal?

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

Thank you to everyone for support Play for Peace: Games for Palestine charity bundle. We have just reached $100,000 and with 2 days left, Please give us a boost and support by Repost the bundle!! itch.io/b/2979/play-...

This shit makes me so mad because people don't understand how much power we have over these companies and the only thing we need to do is not give them money. The only thing we need to do is to not do anything. It's the easiest shit! *wearily* collective action does work, it really does

In the same vein, are there supports and mentorship programs for folks who are just getting their start in game dev?

That’s how censorship operates in the USA (and many places) government pressure is used to force people & groups to self-censor. It’s a constant pattern: The majority of censorship is self-censorship, but the majority of self-censorship is deliberately cultivated by an outside power. It’s the goal

Big agree w/ ^^^. I wish more people would come to terms with this. The "Law" is not some protective force of nature that cannot be circumvented; it is a construct that, in the hands of bad-faith actors, changes and is applied to people unequally in order to enact their goals.

Light blue and it’s not even close

An incredible game, one of the best I’ve ever played, please go check it out!

Thanks to @budgetcommander.bsky.social for suggesting Isengard Unleashed on a Commander clash podcast ep, I'm now a believer

Sometimes I think about Keyforge and lament that my commander deck names will never EVER be this good.

almost $70,000, keep spreading the word 🙏

My game Far From Home is part of the showcase/showreel at the 2025 Conference on BIPOC Game Studies. I'm not able to be there, partly because of my concerns around the state of border controls and deportations in the USA (ironically, since this is a game about immigrants). bipocgames.com/showcase/

Friends, friends, omg, What Dust Remains by @momatoes.com momatoes.itch.io/what-dust-re... I'll say more later but don't wait

This combo is going to be BROKEN

Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

Trying to see something ❤️ if you like Loot better 🔁 if you like Fleem better Both if you just want to see results and still want to see this later😉 #MTG

Many amazing games included in this bundle, for a cause that sorely needs it - what relief we hope to provide through this must go in concert with calls and actions toward justice; peace is not enough, peace does not stand up to the shame of what’s been done. The arc of history needs hands to bend.

Play for Peace is live! check out over 400 games from creators all over the world in itch.io Donation is going directly to Gaza relief efforts

That time is now! For the next two months, let's make some mecha mini-games inspired by @megueyb.bsky.social and @lumpley.bsky.social's Mobile Frame Zero: Firebrands. It's a really approachable scope and format, and I hope it encourages people to engage with mecha themes beyond tactical combat :)

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

RECIPE FOR OUR INDIE GAME 📝 - City monsters - Tactical battles - Taming biscuits - City monsters - Deckbuilding roguelike - Did I say city monsters?

Ten years ago today my first game, Runbow, released at 13AM Games. It launched on the Wii U, got us featured at E3, even had Reggie himself appear in an ad. youtu.be/L3Nkd7g25mk?... Not a day goes by that I'm not grateful for this crazy game.

What a cool setup! (Spectres of Brocken spotted ;))

We're excited to announce the Games for Palestine charity page is now LIVE on Itch. Over 300+ games with proceeds going to UNRWA USA in support of Gaza relief. Thank you to everyone for your support. The bundle launches on Sept 2nd 9am PST. Link: itch.io/b/2979/play-...

I thought this part was particularly cool!

TIL about the Naruto Ottawa Housing board fanfic. I think I'm actually proud of being from Ottawa now.

The rate the world is going... I think having a con in SEA (Southeast Asia) is a good idea. I know, I know, logistics.
