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 💫🤖

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!

These books are always really really nice.

Here it is! Currently waiting for my issue 5. APWOT remains the highest quality publication in video games. Every page is a jaw-dropper. All of you go get on Kickstarter and fund the heck out of this treasure!!

Again - I would pay @cazwis.bsky.social good money just to get the cover. Let alone the other art. Let alone alone the great articles. If you're not on the #apwot train yet, get out there and fund the edition 6 Kickstarter

We reached the goal in an hour. The quickest yet. I didn’t have time to make a graphic to celebrate so here’s an emoji 🤯

I got to contribute to a really fun part of this issue! A Profound Waste of Time continues to be one of the best games culture magazines out there. Every single one of them. Check it out!

The astonishingly beautiful @apwot.bsky.social has just arrived home 🤩 Congrats once again @cazwis.bsky.social on the release. Very happy to be able to support it once more. And AS ALWAYS, I'll keep nagging you to let me illustrate a piece for a racing game in the future until you say yes 🤩❤️

How lucky we are to have Cas and the team throwing everything at every issue of APWOT. An honour to be asked to contribute - so many great writers I can't wait to dig into. Its annual arrival is a highlight of my gaming year. Treat yourself to a copy and you won't be disappointed.

Hey we recognize one of those pull-quotes...

Heck yeah, support A Profound Waste of Time! They are sooo cool.

This should go live approx 6pm uk time x

Got my first issue of @apwot.bsky.social. The cover’s by one of my favourite artists (blurring_my_day), and I can’t remember ever seeing such good graphic design and printwork together. It’s big and thick too, more like a book than a magazine. Expectations exceeded!

Tomorrow. 💫

Tomorrow. 💫

It's arrived! Looking forward to delving in 😎🍻 @apwot.bsky.social

Flipped thru the first issue and I had to stop on the BIT TRIP article to read as my one of my all time fave games... and the RISO PRINT AFTER 🥺🥺🥺 this alone makes this purchase so worth it. Amazing stuff. I hope I can make stuff like this someday too 🧡

Got this the other day and I'm obsessed. Just beautiful work. @apwot.bsky.social
