You probably haven't heard of Garbanzo Quest by @zachisagardner.bsky.social, but it's an incredible game with a lot to say. Today we dive deep into this classic and emerge with a newfound understanding of what it means to be an independent artist in the first place. www.youtube.com/watch?v=90rk...

was drifting off to sleep but I suddenly imagined the world's largest bee and scared myself awake. Luckily I am able to resume my slumber once I think of an even larger bee but this one's on my side

If you need a reason to grab the recently released and very excellent Morsels, it has the best Psychedelic Rock soundtrack since High On Life (the most redeeming element of High on Life)

In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts (2008, Xbox 360), you can place propellers on the top of your land vehicles and set them to push air downwards. This creates enough downtrust to compensate the lack of friction of high-speed engines and jets, and allows for tighter turning.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Silksong’s fascination with religion is obvious from the beginning. But only in examining the game’s conclusion(s) does its perspective become clear — this is a story about the apocalyptic finish line, a story about the end of stories. And it is also about what comes after.

This is Sektori! A twin-stick shooter I've been making (and documenting the journey) since April 2021. And it finally launched TODAY on Steam, PS5 and Xbox! Here's a fresh launch trailer, all shares highly appreciated. More game info in replies.

I'll have more to say on the pod, but I've been playing Sektori for weeks now on Steam Deck and it is my ideal arcade shooter. I've been waiting for years for something that could match my love for Geometry Wars 2, and this has successfully reached that impossible standard.
It's basically perfect.
