I guess I never made an intro post like all the cool kids are doing for the new influx of folks. I don’t have a sick art portfolio to show, but here’s a stack of games I helped make over the last 25 years.

This eyewitness to Alex Pretti’s murder — who is too scared to even go home because she doesn’t trust federal agents — directly refutes what the feds are saying happened today:

It's indistinguishable from a war zone because it is a war zone. The federal government is at war with its own citizens.
Nicollet Ave in South Mpls now resembles a warzone after federal agents killed a man there this morning. Trump is trying his damndest to make this community unlivable.

the normal thing that the state authorities can do if they do not want civilians deciding to try to retaliate us to charge those who commit murder, even if they are feds, and force the federal government to defend withholding them in court, which they will likely lose

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Why do NONE of these lists include Big Walk by @househouse.bsky.social?
Was it pushed back out of 2026 and I missed it? That's the only explanation I can think of because it's the game I'm most looking forward to by an EXTREMELY large margin.

Did gift exchange for Hanukkah last night and my brother got me the perfect #pico8 device. Finally making headway on my @adamatomic.bsky.social backlog.
Skeleton Gelatin is a treat!
Can't wait to dive into the rest of the collection, which is criminally underpriced at $5.

It's still wild to me that in 1994, the year BEFORE coxial cable internet in a TEST market, you could download games to your Genesis. I think it only failed because people couldn't comprehend the concept.
Hell, I worked on a Ratchet game for PSN in 2008 and people still asked where the disc was.
