god, LOOK at this thing

What a feast this issue is!

Mom, I'm in the magazine!

Just because there’s 22 days left to back the newest volume of @apwot.bsky.social does not mean you should dilly dally. Lenticular cover? Sheeeeeeeit. Sign me up. @cazwis.bsky.social always delivers, y’all.

Got @apwot.bsky.social issue #1 in the mail today. It's a beautifully made product and I CANNOT wait to go through it.

"I see the game as the guest. I want to make sure I do everything I can to show off every part of this guest." I spoke with Shinya Arino, host and faithful "employee" of GameCenter CX about his philosophy, career highlights, and the secrets behind the trailblazing show. He was a delight.

My lovely @apwot.bsky.social collection so far... They've got another Kickstarter going for a sixth volume. If you're looking for premium coffee table books about video games, these are those. ❤️

Issue 5 is out now! 🦄 🎉 Featuring our incredible collaboration with Vanillaware for our Unicorn Overlord cover, interviews with some of the medium's most iconic creatives, and beautiful essays with original art from cover to cover. Let's walk through the latest issue: 👇🧵

SO happy I got to illustrate for APWOT again!! 😭🤍🤍🤍🤍

me: people should talk about Unicorn Overlord more - my goty 2024!!! it was so good!!! apwot: 👁️👄👁️

I got my copy of this and the visual design is, fittingly for the sub-zero theme, completely breathtaking. Buy APWOT!

What a beautiful thing, and always carefully packaged. Congrats @cazwis.bsky.social!

A Profound Waste of Time Issue 5 arrived in my mailbox yesterday, and it's just perfection as I've come to expect from APWOT. The cover story about Unicorn Overlord and Vanillaware was great and accompanied by some spectacular artwork throughout. @cazwis.bsky.social congrats on the release!

Issue five of APWOT just arrived, including this incredible article about GameCenter CX and its delightful host, Shinya Arino! I really hope this is GCCX's time to take off in the English-speaking world; we've gone far too long without official (and accessible) localizations!

Volume #026 of the Newsletter is out❗️ 📕 Another profound publication from @apwot.bsky.social 📘 A trio of @bitmapbooks.com 📗 #Sonic in São Paulo 📙 @newsdee.bsky.social shares some #GameDev love 📓 Czech books courtesy of @sczther.bsky.social 📒 #Neopets are still a thing!?

APWOT 5 is here! 🦄 Available now via our site and the APWOT 6 Kickstarter campaign.

Earlier this morning we passed the 300% funding mark with 26 days left to go! Thank you all so much for supporting APWOT!🤖⭐

The special edition of APWOT 6 will feature a lenticular print affixed to the cover, allowing Astro to change expressions like he does in game! Art by @error403.bsky.social 🤖 ✨

Just received @apwot.bsky.social issue number 5, baby!!

Perfect excuse to #84bump right here

Pumped to have the new issue of A Profound Waste of Time. You know I made a beeline for that Ridge Racer Type 4 article.

just picked up my copy of APWOT5, I was hooked reading the pitch a year ago and I'm just as excited to crack it open now @apwot.bsky.social

Earlier this morning we passed the 300% funding mark with 26 days left to go! Thank you all so much for supporting APWOT!🤖⭐

Happy to support @apwot.bsky.social now and forever. Turning to the first page and getting blasted with a jaw-droppingly gorgeous illustration, followed by 8 pages of @ramiismail.com waxing poetic about the beauty of flight is exactly the kind of thing I’m more than willing to pay for.

Just received APWOT5 and god @apwot.bsky.social is genuinely and consistently incredible. This edition is extra special to me: I am super honored to have my short essay on how games as a medium and flying as an activity connect in my brain.

Great game journalism in these pages. Support this worthy project. Honored to have contributed in the past! www.kickstarter.com/projects/caz...

My A Profound Waste of Time Volume 5 just got here and I'm so excited to read it! It even has the fancy new book smell @apwot.bsky.social

APWOT is easily the best printed media about video games. With a bullet. Been a fan since the first issue and back it every year. Absolutely amazing quality and design on every page, with some fascinating stuff inside. BACK APWOT!

LAUNCH PARTY TIME! Save the date 📆 Come to Gosh! Comics in Soho on the 4th of December to help us celebrate the release of Issue 5 of A Profound Waste of Time! 🦄📚 Hope to see you there! 🙌

Has to be said. @apwot.bsky.social is next level. Love the smell of the freshly printed ink on the GF Smith paper!

What a SPREAD ❤️‍🔥

Almost at the end of the first issue of APWOT. Such a masterpiece, got me to go try out Downwell as well finally given the neat pop out diagram too.

APWOT slipcase and Issue 5 arrived!! 😭✨ Lots of reading tonight~

Due to the success of the Kickstarter and the sheer amount of demand for them, we can reprint Issue 4 and the Trilogy Slipcase! If you missed out you can get them now and add them to your pledge! 🤖💫 kck.st/4i1GAHT 💫🤖

24 hours later, and we're over 230% funded! This is by far the fastest an APWOT campaign has reached this point. We're so grateful to all of you for your incredible support. Thank you! 🤖💫

Because I’m one person and getting word out is HARD 🙈

I've just backed issue 6 of APWOT. Couldn't resist Astro Bot on the cover! These gaming journals are always a joy to behold. @apwot.bsky.social

Just after backing issue 6, this beauty came home. 🥵 As always, superb work @cazwis.bsky.social. Also, the packaging for this one was ✨ pristine ✨

Strongly recommend folks Profoundly Waste their Time with the upcoming APWOT issue 6 in which I’ll be writing about some of my favourite alt game scene events, collectives & weirdos from around the world. 🗺️ 📍

I do not post on social media, but I feel in the age of AI slop and digital only releases, something physical, beautiful and created with such care should be shouted from the rooftops. @apwot.bsky.social keep doing what your doing! www.kickstarter.com/projects/caz...

I have every @apwot.bsky.social issue and plan to continue that trend! Just one of the very best video game publications there is or has been. Check out the latest issue on Kickstarter!
