This is some serious stuff

Now LIVE: @brookp8.bsky.social writes about some of the best indie games with less than 300 reviews released in 2025: neetozma.com/2025/12/24/2...

I played so many games this year, I just had to highlight some of the best ones! I reviewed 12 games and recommended 36 in total for this, and I picked games with as few reviews as I could! neetozma.wordpress.com/2025/12/24/2...

her transition has gone so well

sometimes a kid's favorites just stop being favorites for a bit, y'know?? 😅 these little comics have been really fun to make! not planning a consistent kind of thing, but I hope to make 'em whenever an idea strikes me~ also, I didn't wanna keep posting it all separate, sorry if it gets wrecked...

Announcing the nominees for the 2025 Thinky Awards! 🎉

neetozma.wordpress.com NEET Ozma is/was a site for trans writing on games and culture which still publishes stuff sporadically, but much more slowly now - this is primarily the work of @sabrinatvband.bsky.social but I've also got pieces I'm proud of on it!

It's just impossible to take the whole "indie games are so much more creative!" line seriously when the indie games that receive the greatest acclaim tend to be the ones that look like AAA games and not the ones that actually take creative risks.

Something that drives me nuts is that a popular bit of gaming discourse is how, "Oh, AAA games are so safe and bland, I support indie games because they're more creative and developed by teams with artistic vision!" But then we get creative, artistic indie games, and gamers don't actually buy them.

Ahhh shit yeah! AJ Goes to the Dog Park is now on Tubi (aka the best streaming service) This hilarious movie is a hand-crafted marvel made by the most passionate people ever and directed by @tobytobyjones.bsky.social! It's worth watching! You can feel the love in it! tubitv.com/movies/10004...

Now live on NEET Ozma: @sabrinatvband.bsky.social writes about Hulk: Ultimate Destruction for her series on open world games. neetozma.com/2025/11/30/h...

So epstein files IS what the cancelled 2010 Metal Gear Rising script was about. Raiden's rescuing Olga's daughter Sunny from "US financier Wexler". Wexner's IRL victoria's secret ceo, AIPAC donator, trafficked girls for epstein. Platinum's rewrite removed connection to real life to be released.

this is always one of my favorite things to see in the wild. How fucked people can make games via emulation. Stretch that resolution, smooth those pixels, enable those filters. I always wonder if it's genuine or not. Like if they did it on purpose just because they knew it'd upset people. lmao

you should all play more indie games made by 1 to 4 gay people in their bedrooms

This was always the end goal of AI implementation “machine says no” and “machine says you’re the suspect” and “machine sets the price” and “machine says you have to die”, the apotheosis of inhuman market logic to an unquestionable inhuman and inhumane authority, thanks for reading

nintendo if they werent cowards

America's first ever esports champion was Rebecca Heineman, a trans woman. She went on to found some of your favorite video game studios and worked on your favorite video games. Next time you see somebody rail about 'woke' and 'DEI' Remember that. Remember her.

“average gamedev makes $142,000 a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average gamedev makes $0 per year. Executives Georg, who lives in cave & makes over $10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Ms Meeple is debuting at GGX next Saturday! www.ggdevexpo.org

This is a really vulnerable time for paypro call centers. It's already been reported that Mastercard is stressed by our persistence I know we're all busy around this time too but let's fire the engines 🔥

I'm hosting a crowd games panel at GGX, where the audience gets to play games! It's equal parts me messing with the audience, and the audience getting to mess with me.

Some girls only one thing and it's disgusting.

Nintendo Reveals That Kirby Is Angry in American Releases Due to Cost of Insulin

This is one of the best articles I've ever written. If you want to learn stuff about early anime fandom, 80s and 90s indie comics, comics formalism, and a couple of other related things, you should probably give this a read.

Aesop has a lost fable, that shows it is not the Owl, but the Skunk that is the wisest. Because of all the sense it makes.

The fact we only have the Sonic OVA soundtrack because some guy thought "maybe I can look through the credits & just ask each person who worked on it politely" is really funny to me.

Pico-8 has this strange power where you play a game made with it, and it makes you want to make your own game with it

I discovered a new band, RANDOMFUTURETONE - a chilean who made a vocaloid metal opera www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

As a trans guy in Ohio, The Trans Empowerment Project is a massive source of hope for me. Join this jam, then the bundle, and raise money for trans rights! itch.io/jam/queertob...

My new open world precision "batformer" Vampire's Best Friend is out now on Steam and itch with a 10% launch discount! Vampire hunters are after a mischievous vampire girl, and it's up to her pet bat to save the day!

This has made me realize how hard the 2010s have turned against extreme strong female characters and people who love them- And, tangentially, how well lovers of deranged femmes (soft girl but wrong archetype) have been eating outside the arena of major western media production

new phones have features where they play screen wide animations with sound when you say certain words or phrases like birthday, Halloween, etc. inbthe built-in SMS apps. it's only a matter of time before these are OS-wide features. @cisash.bsky.social's Textreme was ahead of it's time

*wiping away sweat as i flip ur future card* ah... this must be the 8 of Gamers;: i think this is Very Bad
