Speaking of, I need to get back to work on my projects soon...

The "Balatro-like" genre of Roguelikes is definitely where the best indie games are at atm

Balatro, Cloverpit and now this banger

I'm really hyped for the release of Dice a Million and can't wait for what devs will think of next

Not to say Balatro or others do it badly btw, it's just a personal preference

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 20h

But with this game you can kinda just build it throughout the run by selecting the right hand and picking whatever fits, and I find that very satisfying since it makes the game very repayable and lets you test strategies more easily

Like in Balatro, you'll have to reroll a lot and mostly take what you're given. Wanna have fun with planet cards and upgrading poker hands ? Better hope you find the right jokers and get celestial packs in the shop

What I like a lot about #DiceAMillion is that it's pretty easy to build a run focused on any mechanic you want, like extra values, zones, having a lot of die...
It's a gripe I have with other roguelikes regarding how I like to play them, and this game nails it for me

Really good stuff, I'd recommend checking it out !

I manage to get quite a powerful run and had a lot of fun with it ! It looks like it could get quite crazy, there's a lot of dices with insane effects !
The visuals are great and the music is one of these tunes I could listen to on loop

Baby Steps starts as an elaborate shitpost before slowly revealing itself to be a sincere game about male insecurity. A deconstruction of the kind of idealized picture of manhood that video games helped create wrapped in a terrific slapstick comedy. My review. www.polygon.com/baby-steps-r...

You will not survive Baby Steps' open world, but you'll laugh

I reviewed Baby Steps (@babystepsgame.bsky.social), an intentionally infuriating walking simulator, and it has inexplicably become one of my favorite games of 2025. Check out my review, where I do my best to…explicastrate, via @ign.com:

Fear me Bennett Foddy, for I will break your game in every conceivable way and reach all summits

(fair to say I'm enjoying #BabySteps so far)

Where is your first Minecraft build today ?

#liminal #minecraft

A screenshot of a scene in Minecraft. A house made of diamond blocks sticking through the wall of a yellow, dimly lit room, with a couple of corridors

A front view angle of the previous screenshot

A house made of dirt in a section of plains within a white structure. It seems a chunk of the land was taken out of its place and relocated to this white room

€19.99 ???
Seriously ? I'm genuinly mad at the double standards there is in the industry rn, we'll see when the game releases but I'm sure they could've charged more than that

But heh, if it's fine for Team Cherry it's fine by me 👐

I've been playing #MarioKartWorld recently since I got a Switch 2, and OMG the penguin fan in me died as soon as I saw Touring Outfit Yoshi

Genuinely that design is amazing! They're so cute!

Also sorry for the negativity and lack or art uploads recently, idk if anyone gets my posts on my feed but I do want to apologies, I've been going through a lot and it happened the negative parts have been surfacing here a bit.

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · Aug 18

So I learned why people are changing they're profile pictures to clippy today

I think you can guess I'm in agreements

youtu.be/2_Dtmpe9qaQ?...

I'm honestly tired of the way companies can just do whatever they want and I'm happy to see a mouvement regarding this

Change your profile picture to clippy. I'm serious
