This is such an incredible tweet. The picture. The quote. The fact that thousands of people even know this off-hand. I kind of can't believe how perfect it is.
Do you think I’d explain my masterstroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I made the NYPD woke 35 minutes ago.

BREAKING NEWS!!! My REAL soulstone has been located by the daring @bottenbig.bsky.social!
They even decided graciously not to keep it, figuring its great power was too dangerous for anyone to wield, EXACTLY like Harrison Ford at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark!

Yes, of course: it’s Silksong week.
While plenty of games have gotten out of Hornet’s way, there are still a bunch of other indie drops this week worthy of your attention.

I got to play this at MIGS 2024 and holy cow-- Chasing Rats and the Indie Asylum are really striking gold with this one.
Worship from @chasingratsgames.bsky.social launches into Early Access today and Becca got a chance to preview it, because we at Six One Indie cannot pass up a cult game! Especially one that is seemingly of a mix between Pikmin and Cult of the Lamb.
Read her full preview here:

This is not a story of triumph.
This is a story of defiance, when the world demands you kneel.
Will you submit to your knees? Or fight- against all odds?
