I spent all game in the LINE group, but just popped over here to say that was absolutely tremendous, and though the quality of Japan's three goals didn't match that of Brazil's two, they fought back superbly and deserved to win.
Japan 3-2 Brazil. Give me a woof.

Japan 3-2 Brazil

In their 14th meeting, the student has beaten the teacher.

A truly historic result for the Japanese game against an opponent it has sought to match on the pitch for more than half a century.

Found a copy of Stuff at the airport and always nice to see your work in print, and great when I get to spotlight cool indies this way

Haha it certainly is very hard to not be cynical at the moment... but, what people are interested in design wise (as consumers) comes in waves imo. Bonk.

Stuffed Wombat @stuffedwomb.at · Jul 8

small games by tiny devs finding huge success by dropping all notions of expression and focusing on dopamine delivery has done some sort of heavy damage to whatever I believed in in the 2010s about game design

Yeah agreed. The "what is this person in relation to you" for your household question, when I am the only person in my household threw me a little. But, was generally pretty standard.

Do we HAVE to do it?

Liam E 🚲 🦝TANUKI @liambme.bsky.social · 12d

No, I totally agree with you on that. Steam's largest issue is the complete lack of curation, which means lowering your game to the lowest possible bottom line for visibility = bad. I definitely agree.
