"Don't do that, it's Bad Game Design!" rings more hollow to me than ever before as we fast approach the year of our lord, Persist In '26.

Saw Richard Garfield randomly walk by and say "cool game" at a Dwarf Fortress meet-up of ~30 people in 2008.

I'm starting to write more reviews of smaller titles on Steam. 1. Reviews are very helpful for developers and players alike. 2. It's a nice way to cap off a fun time with a game. So not only do I recommend Babushka's Glitch Dungeon, but I also recommend writing reviews of indie games you enjoyed!

and now the advent calendar is complete! wishing you all a nice and personal web-filled new year 👩‍💻

New Boxing Day greeting just dropped!

For those that have played 'I Have Low Stats But My Class Is "Leader", So I Recruited Everyone I Know To Fight The Dark Lord' (which is on sale on Steam and itchio right now), Mojisola's the main character in the tactics game I'm working on, and I've finally got her skills to a spot I'm happy with

Idk about 50 games lists but I do like replaying this game around this time each year. hatchet2k4.itch.io/winter/

@stopcar.ing kicked off our last issue debut of the year with a piece on 24 Killers and what home really is. She effortlessly captures the strange, funny yet bittersweet themes of the game and its eclectic yet personal tone as well.

Consider making 2026 the Year of the Personal Website. Even a little thing on Neocities works. It’s just nice to have a home base on the internet that you don’t have to deal with bsky mods are random popping into every post and if something goes wrong with your host, you just move it elsewhere

hey, do you play games on steam? want to do something nice for the devs of the games you've played this year this holiday season? just go through the last 10-20 games you played and post a short positive review for them. reviews are SO important to the steam algorithm, this is a good thing to do!

My small diaristic VN, Backwater Eulogy, is only 10 reviews away from hitting 50/Very Positive on Steam! It's only 99 cents during the winter sale, and it would mean the world to me to end the year with it at Very Positive. store.steampowered.com/app/3134050/... #indiedev #indiegame

"7 years and 300 people?" Sounds like a skill issue. I can make a game by myself in 3 months.

PlayStation people: The PS4/5 versions of my console debut is discounted right now! For people who love wrestling or big monsters or smelly dungeons full of both wrestling and monsters, but mostly for people who love JRPGs. @kaijubigbattel.bsky.social store.playstation.com/en-us/concep...

No Players Online - the full version of the viral abandoned online FPS horror game - is back on Steam. 🎉 The game was falsely removed weeks ago, just after launching, which has severely impacted the studio's survivability. Please spread the word, and support it! ❤️ (No Players Online Steam page)

hello bsky! our game was taken down due to a false DMCA which completely killed our momentum at launch. our studio is in a very precarious position right now. please share and spread the word, steam has been little help to our situation. noplayersonline.net/statement

making some progress (10% reviewed!)...at this rate, I'll get to 788 reviews in about 164 years.
