If you’re in Sydney go check out CORPOREAL at SXSW, it’s creepy/cool as hell #indiedevs #indiegames

Max @coldout.bsky.social · 22h

CORPOREAL is playable at the SXSW Sydney games showcase this Thurs & Fri. Check out the demo if you're around and the many other indie games on show. (I won't be there in person but i'll be there in spirit) 📸

Not sure why I’m choosing to process this here of all places but all I really want to say is what I said before. Hug your pals. Check in with them and see how they’re doing. Especially if they were once important to you.

It was with this friend that I first encountered and played a Final Fantasy game, watched anime, all of which lit my brain afire. We wrote stories together, drew pictures, imagined strange worlds and stories. It unlocked a love of creativity that I still hold. He was formative to who I am today.

I just found out an old friend of mine, someone I started school with as a five year old, took his life two days ago. We’d lost touch many years ago and I am feeling some kind of way about it. Hug your pals.

When we were 13-14 I think, some friends and I would gather at this place called e-funz to play Counter Strike, Diablo, and Dota. It was a while before any of us could afford our own gaming hardware.

Felipe Pepe @felipepepe.bsky.social · 11d

Playing console & PC games at home is seen as the default experience, but I'd bet that the majority of people in the 2000s experienced games in these social places, paying by the hour.

It's vastly underrepresented in academia & retrogaming debates but it's key to understanding things like F2P games

A store in Brazil where people can pay by the hour to play video game consoles. There's three old tube televisions on the wall, and several children playing soccer games on them

A similar image to the first one, but now it's several people from Vietnam sitting on a bench and playing soccer games on 5 televisions

A russian internet cafe, with several young men sitting in front of a row of computers playing games

Another internet cafe, this time much larger and with Asian men playing

Let It Die: Inferno looks really neat, I always love seeing what Grasshopper are doing. Best part of that trailer for me though is what they call the looting UI. If it's a chest opened it's called Treasure Buds, if it's looting a dead body it was Yucky Drops. Really funny vibes.

I feel like a lot of people (Silksong) need to learn that if you’re getting absolutely tilted repeating a boss fight over and over again, you should just turn it off and come back tomorrow. More often than not you’ll beat it first try.
