Henrik makes awesome, tactile games.

If you enjoyed OlliOlli, check out POGOPPL.

If you enjoy physics/feel-forward games that don't get in your way, give him a follow and check out his steam catalog.

HELLO to all my new followers! I'm a Finnish #gamedev, recently released my third and biggest game yet: POGOPPL. A pogo platformer. Total flop. Nevertheless I am forging on working on my next project, a cowboy game! I'll share more about it soon.

Here's a peek at some of my earlier games.

Replace every podcast episode this week with the first audiobook chapter of The Guns of August and see if people still think this is the only stupid time.

Agreed. One of the best MSFS cockpits to ride in. Amazing views front to back, great for situational awareness.

I know I have to play this game. I'm still trying to figure out what device I should play it on. Almost all of my gaming these days is on the PS Portal. Once a year I fly on an airplane and use the steam deck for a few hours.

adviser amid push to control
student newspaper's content

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

Hey, it’s back! A formative stealth game, missing from storefronts for too long. And a great Steam Deck game. I’ve made a custom controller configuration for it since it has no controller support out of the box, can be found under community layouts.

"investors in his snakeoil"
"investors in his patent medicine"
We would never write these phrases.

We all know that this is blatant corruption and instead of writing "Trump offers personal meeting in exchange for bribe" we give it the shred of dignity it needs to allow it to perpetuate.

Ken Vogel @kenvogel.bsky.social · Apr 23

In an astonishing escalation of the Trump family’s efforts to profit from crypto, a website promoting Trump’s memecoin announced that the coin’s 220 largest buyers would be invited to a private dinner with him.

Trump Offers a Private Dinner to Top 220 Investors of His Memecoin

The offer, which caused President Trump’s memecoin to surge in price, was his family’s latest effort to profit from cryptocurrencies.
