this past month I've been interviewing various alt game event organisers, collectives and curators past & present for my upcoming article in @apwot.bsky.social - spending time chatting with that international community has been so darn restorative & delightful.

We are here to educate 🧑‍🏫

Now the Christmas chaos has quietened down I've refreshed the stock on the APWOT site! shop.apwot.com/collections/... Everything but issue 4's special edition is available and we'll be reprinting it in the new year, so hang tight if you're waiting for that funky Portal 2 cover 🟠🔵

A pin that came with the new issue of @apwot.bsky.social I’m gonna also chalk this up as my first piece of #KyleBosman merch, technically speaking. Looking forward to digging into annual issue #5 some time, it’s the overall best physical print media re: gaming out there these days imo

Nothing better than reading a new @apwot.bsky.social, cannot recommend it highly enough. Even the art alone is worth the price.

We passed 9000 followers today! It’s a Christmas miracle 🎄✨🙏

I bought all the mags from @apwot.bsky.social, solely based on my friends’ suggestions. « you gonna like it ». That’s it. No additional context. Nothing. I got the collector edition every time because they are so beautiful. Tho I didn’t know how they’d actually look like before receiving them.

These award winning magazines by @apwot.bsky.social are one of our bestselling items this holiday season! See the range here: buff.ly/fuaMb2u #gameart #gamingculture

That's my art he's holding up there! The craziest thing to see just before going to bed. Never would've thought I'd see the day where GCCX's kachō would be matching his head up with a piece of art I made for the lovely APWOT magazine...

Shinya Arino has recieved his copy!

Did you know? APWOT originally started as a student zine all the way back in 2014! 👀 The original self made publication used a limited colour palette, came in two sizes, was about 20 pages and was made in just under 2 weeks. We've come a long way to having Astro Bot and Playstation on the cover! 🤖

I am vagueposting to myself because A Profound Waste of Time is a powerful read and anyone interested in gaming should read it. There’s a Kickstarter for Issue 6 right now. These are really well-written non-fiction magazines.

Huge thanks to @apwot.bsky.social for sending me a copy of their latest issue! There is nothing like the weight of a physical book in your hands.

We’ve got the perfect item for a wet day… the brand new journals from @apwot.bsky.social (vol 1-4) are here; and they’re a lovely read 📖 Check em’ out: www.pixelcrib.com.au/collections/... #gamingculture #bookstagram #pixelcrib #videogamebooks #videogameart

We’re about to reach 3000 backers! 👀

I really enjoyed this essay by @ramiismail.com in the latest @apwot.bsky.social. This magazine is such a wonderful experience, from the writing to the extensive art to the thick card stock it’s printed on.

im so glad skillup mentioned this because this is incredible, what do you mean it has interviews with doucet, kodaka, yoshiro kimura

🔥🔥🔥 Final week!🔥🔥🔥

thank you @apwot.bsky.social @arkoty.pe @error403.bsky.social

Some details from issue 5 👀✨

The new APWOT arrived yesterday and it's simply marvelous to hold and read. I may be a touch biased having worked on multiple issues, but @cazwis.bsky.social produces a wonderful product and you should totally check out the Kickstarter for the next issue: @apwot.bsky.social. Print ain't dead.
