I fail to understand how the world has turned so stupid.
Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado gave her Nobel Peace Prize medal to President Donald Trump during a White House meeting. A White House official confirmed that Trump intends to keep the medal reut.rs/4bCPVV3
Trump accepts Nobel medal from Venezuelan opposition leader Machado
Machado, who described their meeting as "excellent," said the gift was in recognition of what she called Trump's commitment to the freedom of the Venezuelan people.

It's so sad that this amazing speech is today just as topical and on point as it was when it was first spoken.

Prepping this week's episode on autobiographical games, and it really is criminal that Despelote hasn't reached more people. Not just because it's important. But because it's ridiculously fun and moving.

Without a Dawn is slowly approaching 500 reviews on Steam, 37 to go! Should be close between "Very Positive" and "Overwhelmingly Positive". 😁

Thank you Google AI whatever summary for highlighting that! Great info! Though that's not at all what the article is saying and not even the full sentence, but ok. 🤷

Ok, it's been one week shy of two months since release. Maybe time for a 'state of Sektori' thread again? First, still super grateful of the response. Ending on some GOTY 2025 lists was unexpected to say the least.
Okay, it's been a week since release. Reception has been AWESOME, much much more than I expected for such a niche thing! Thank you! ❤️ A few thoughts (thread).

A full day of e-mails, accounting and whatever management is a good way to remind oneself why I want to minimize any business interactions with anyone... Soul destroying work.

Fellow Sektori players, which is your preferred mode? I was playing campaign most but I’ve since shifted to classic. The wife likes gates a lot.
If I have one complaint about this game, I wish the difficulty increased a bit more gradually. Never has a twin-stick shooter kicked my ass this severely.

feeling anxious about the state of the world? Play @gimblll.com’s SEKTORI. Your brain simply does not have the capacity to comprehend it and worry at the same time. You will feel better.

came in on a squeaker but my GOTY is SEKTORI (PS5, PC).
It's like watching an artist create a stunning portrait out of those shitty 4-crayons-and-a-paper-menu kits they give children to keep them quiet at restaurants. Dual stick shape-blasters should not be this intricate or thrilling!!!

That's a pretty good top 10! 🙂 Though all this GOTY list attention does make me feel like I'm living in some weird alternate universe.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I received @gimblll.com's Sektori as a gift from a good friend for Christmas. His only reasoning?
"More people need to play this game."
And he IS RIGHT.
@quoththekraven.bsky.social was the first person to get a copy from me, and if you watch the vid-- you could win, too!

Nothing better than reading a new @apwot.bsky.social, cannot recommend it highly enough. Even the art alone is worth the price.
