Super excited to announce that @takethis.org is the official charity partner for the 12 for $10 Narrative Bundle with @humblebundle.com ! We're working to change the narrative around mental health & gaming, so I couldn't think of a better fit! Super honored 💚 www.humblebundle.com/games/narrat...?

The King under the Mountain 🏔️

This is blowing up with creative, interesting games. If you see this, please take a moment to look through and wishlist any that pop for you. Finding an audience is hard at the best of times, but weirdos and freaks like us need you more than ever. Go look at these games (And also Vampirium: 1997)

Proud to announce the next game Vampirium: 1997 Dracula is king of the United British Empire. Kill his enemies and find your own path through a minimalist immersive sim sandbox. Wishlists and retweets massively appreciated (and, you know, massively helpful) store.steampowered.com/app/4035190/...

Alright, it's time for one last round of sales picks before reality rights itself and PC games go back to being merely cheap, rather than absurdly underpriced. Today's rules: Minimum 50% off, nothing over £15, because your wallet has probably taken a beating already. Also check out my curator page!

Show me a cool physical game

HUGE thank you to @botherer.bsky.social for adding Janet to the VERY VERY good Indie-Penance Day list (I only just got that gag of that title while writing it, I am very smart) kotaku.com/indie-penanc...

First batch is up! Ten fantastic-looking new or upcoming indie games you'll very probably want to stick on your Wishlist asap: kotaku.com/indie-penanc... Please repost this to get these games as much attention as possible. Especially *you*, person with a squillion followers.

I went digging through Steam to proffer my official summer sale game recommendations! Most everything is at its lowest price yet and I have used the best parts of my brain to locate the games at the perfect point between affordable and noteworthiness. Gonna thread it up like the greats do!

hiyoooooo what say we add some more game recs to the thread this fine friday, eh?

We did it 🤑✨ our EOFY appeal for Parallels '26 didn't just hit the goal. We sailed right past it. Because of your generosity: working artists can afford to come, tickets are cheaper for everyone, and WE'RE LIVESTREAMING so no-one misses out. 💛 artists.australianculturalfund.org.au/s/project/a2...

I love reading Steam Summer Sale threads--so I'm gonna do one of my own! Just a grab bag of some games I've loved, admired, or glimpsed with Fear, that happen to be on sale right now, in no particular order.

Thank you everyone for the incredible support so far! We truly appreciate you all and are extremely grateful to the community. If you are in a position and want to donate, every little bit counts and it is tax deductible! Freeplay 4eva 💖 artists.australianculturalfund.org.au/s/project/a2...

you already know what's up (steam sale rec thread is what's up) as always, i focus primarily on older, obscure, and just plain weirder games, as big name titles don't need the help. with that said, onwards!

Tonnes of fantastic panels, games and people at the Queensland Games Festival. Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone - I had a blast! ☀️

Hey folks, who'd like another Steam sale recommendation thread? Let's go! 1. Nine Sols Simply one of the best Metroidvanias ever. Takes inspiration from Hollow Knight with gorgeous hand drawn artstyle, mixes in the parry heavy combat of Sekiro, and Red Candle's exceptional narrative writing.

There's other folks who do Steam sale recommendation threads, and you should perhaps check them out because they cover a lot of extremely neat looking games that I haven't played, so you'll get a wide variety of deep cuts and sicko picks to delight you. First off, Dominic Tarason's big ass thread:

Thank you to everyone who's downloaded, donated, shared, or told a friend. It's been amazing watching the community discover so many fantastic indie RPGs. There's still a few days left to grab the bundle, so if you haven't had a look yet, now's the perfect time. 🎲 rpg-trader.com/products/102...

It's STEAM SUMMER SALE time! Which means I've updated my Steam Curator page with everything I've enjoyed recently. I'll also be picking out the best deals in this thread - bookmark this post! If you like what I do, consider tipping! (Ko-Fi/Paypal) - All tips go towards more indie games to research!

Thread of steam sale recommendations. Let's go. A lot of these are going to be horror games cause that's where I live.

Oh hey, Queer Man is on sale. You should buy it. store.steampowered.com/app/1711420/...

Yessss, big update for White Knuckle, a FANTASTIC action-horror climbing game. If you've not picked it up yet, it'll be discounted in a couple hours, and after the sale ends, the base price will be going up because they've added a lot to it. Genuinely great stuff. Top recommendation.

Hmm, getting visibility on my GOTY25 video has been a bit of a struggle, but there's a steam sale on now and everyone always likes when I do a big thread of sale recommendations, and all of the games in my video are on sale, so what if... Hmm, delightfully devilish Casey! GOTY25 Steam Sale Recs! 🤠

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

thanks for not taking me to court @doctorow.pluralistic.net your Enshittification book is indeed excellent (and cat-approved) also really enjoyed Reverse Centaur 🐴 👖

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.
