The amount of games you see out there called shit like Immortal Glaivekin: Embers of Ashkatan because the devs have been all consumed with making it for seven years and they can't conceive of a normal person reading it and going "what the fuck is a Glaivekin"

says a lot about the industry that the overall response to these layoffs is "oh these are bad but no studios were closed" we're all so fucking used to expecting the worst

the games industry is going to have totally normal takeaways from this, i'm sure

Everyone please click and read so that John can keep doing amazing work highlight indies. Oh, and wishlist KAZ while you're at it, that's from @twofrogs.biz ⌨️🐸

I'm very proud of our little videogame, and it's like 12 bucks in the Summer Sale, so allow me to bang on about it once more! 100% Human Made, with an eye watering amount of hand drawn art & animation - If you'd like to support work like this, spread the word! that's one of the best ways to help ❤️

July is here and so is my monthly thread of games, tech, and entertainment writing opportunities, including full-time, freelance and mock review things! Shares, likes, RTs appreciated, thank you! 💛

Big thanks to @pcgamer.com and Shaun for including a couple of back catalogue bangers from @playziggurat.bsky.social 👾🕹️ Well-preserved retro games are good and cheap, y'all! www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Next Fest was great as always! Here are my top ten games to watch, including a Lovecraftian horror about nazis and penguins, a Twin Peaks fishing game, and a surprise indie sequel that's going under the radar. Plus, the results of patron vote! 🍿 youtube.com/watch?v=IaPLZ9-RfKs

Smashed three car windows already to save dogs from the heat. Haven’t found any yet but I’m not giving up.

Me in 1768: I dislike the new Prime Minister and the Steam Machine is still too expensive. Me in 2026: I dislike the new Prime Minister and the Steam Machine is still too expensive.

i just want to be able to search through my DMs by content and not by username

"The Steam Machine costs in excess of a thousand dollars" ok America we get it, you don't have kettles

this "guessing when the Prime Minister will be out of a job" business isn't nearly half as fun without a wilting lettuce

Tonight at 9.30 PM (CET) I'm diving into a bunch of #SteamNextFest demos, got a pretty tight schedule but if any other devs are curious to get their demos played, just let me know. Starting with Roguecraft DX by @badgerpunch.com ! Live on: www.twitch.tv/thegenesiste...

PENGUIN COLONY MENTIONED 🗣️🐧 @fellowtraveller.games

"My brain instantly locked in when I saw this. I started playing it and I did 250 runs back to back." Thank you @grubb.wtf for loving Sensory Overload and sorry for what it's doing to your productivity 😌

Everybody wants to be part of the Penguin Colony 🐧(@fellowtraveller.games) Thank you, @marioprime.bsky.social!

As I see more friends fall victim to this discord hack, I remind people that if someone asks you to download their new game out of the blue, right now, because it will only take a couple minutes, after "catching up" for a minute It's a hack, and they will take over once you download that file.

Reminded of this.

Steam Next Fest June 2026 gets cracking in 2 hours so here's a thread of the darling, daring and dazzling demos @twofrogs.biz have in this thing. Please play, enjoy, and wishlist to the gills! #SteamNextFest

Hello! Here's my June journalism jobs thread for gaming, culture, tech, and entertainment roles spread it, share it with your friends reposts are appreciated, thank youuu 💛

Proper lovely to see @fellowtraveller.games' Signet City and Burn-9 on this list 🍄💛 Thank you @wesleyleblanc.bsky.social for the inclusion, narrative game lovers WE UP!

i think we (@twofrogs.biz and FT) also win the award for thirstiest (literally) game reveal at summer game fest? someone pls verify

one such summer game fest reveal i'm delighted to be connected to in a tiny way please make space, mushROOM, if you'd like, for this 🍄

tried to list out all of the games i have in summer game fest and lost count so uh, journalist friends, please kindly write about all the things i've sent you because i'm your favourite PR and my subject lines are so much better than everybody else's xoxo

there's something wholesome (terrible awful) about getting replies from journalists, PRs, and other industry people at times you know they should be offline like we're all working nonsense hours for this summer game fest thing, huh?

a reminder that this one takes place tomorrow! tune in if you love narrative-led games (aka you have great taste)

Devolver @devolverdigital.com has the ability to do the funniest thing rn

there's a joke in there about slice of life / slice of fruit but i haven't figured out yet anywho papaya plaza is an adorable little citybuilder and you should wishlist it right now (it wards away scurvy) 🍊

11/10 hangout, these two are so nice I'd willingly survive more delayed and overheating trains to catch up with them again 💛

CD Projekt RED moving like Todd and them Skyrim people

daytime television is the best part of British culture and if people were fighting to preserve that rather than being weird and racist, maybe i'd feel a bit more patriotic

I’m on the Metro-North and there are two people with long-haired dachshunds in bags 10 feet away from each other and the two dogs are clearly aware of each others presence but the owners are not

I am having Fun at work today, ty for asking

Not to be a nerd on main but I'm genuinely so excited to see the game's marketing? How do you promote the biggest game in the industry?

Network N has decided to cut PCGamesN’s guides team, which means I’m out of a job from mid-June. This is the best job I’ve ever had, and I’m heartbroken to see my team broken up like this. If you're looking to bolster your guides team with one of the best to ever do it, my DMs are open.

looking for a few more folks to talk to for a story i'm working on about tamagotchi. has tamagotchi influenced your games or art, even going beyond the creature care genre? hit me up here or [email protected] ✨

turtle friend, he has red racing stripes for speed obviously

As well as the new Google updates just being really bad for publishers, it's also helping make search just completely unusable? Like, the actual results are dogshit now too. If users have to find workarounds just to make your product actually usable, you should probably have a small rethink.

Anyone happen to know a freelancer that does human game localization of ENGLISH --> GERMAN?

No one expected KKND to get an update after nearly 30 years but here we are. It's the mostly unlikely new content drop. RTS fans should keep an eye on what @playziggurat.bsky.social and IceReaper are cooking 💥

New fund for UK game developers launched today and I'm super proud to say I worked on it! Please go and apply if you have a suitable game as its been a labour of love! New fund of up to 50k per game for localisation, marketing, PR, Influencers, etc  www.bfi.org.uk/get-funding-...

Great news but also "I really love that for some reason, somehow, you can just kind of tell it was founded in Brighton." is hilarious and real?
