Don't mind me. I'll just stay here and quietly play the Space Marine II demo.

Parserly is an analog text adventure, a party game, and, handily, a TTRPG too. It's available here: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/2...

Oh, and the Questing Beast did a Parserly review: youtu.be/A7Xr4aWaak0?...

Octobers are spooky, but horror adventure Asylum is certainly spookier. 🎃💀🎃 Join us for a live making of Asylum with designer and horror maestro Agustin Cordes on the 23rd of October!

Besides allowing me to feel like a fanatical, God-fearing, grimdark Commissar, Owlcat Games is brilliant for also compiling one of the finest educational #gamedev resources collections ever.

Dragonslayer (1981) Dir. Matthew Robbins – Long live Vermithrax Pejorative! In a medieval kingdom, a young wizard’s apprentice must defeat a fearsome dragon terrorizing the land. Stunning effects by Phil Tippett & ILM elevate this fantasy adventure into something truly magical. Amazing dragon.🎞️📽️

Agreed, though I'd argue that Total Eclipse also felt pretty good too.

It was all green over here :D

Judging for the IGF 2026 has begun! ❤️

Konstantinos Dimopoulos @konstantinosd.bsky.social · 1d

Absolutely agree. The amount of research (but also artistry) that went into these games is staggering.

Konstantinos Dimopoulos @konstantinosd.bsky.social · 2d

Felt impossible; magical even.

40 years ago, I was really enjoying Little Computer People on C64, a progenitor to the Sims and other modern cosy-style games. Just really innovative and great fun. We somehow managed to kill our LCP due to a review version bug which, after a call with David Crane, was fixed!

Never agreed with this point, but, eh, it's certainly intriguing :)

Konstantinos Dimopoulos @konstantinosd.bsky.social · 2d

I am doing well on this scale too -- huzzah!

Konstantinos Dimopoulos @konstantinosd.bsky.social · 2d

Indeed.
