To all the indie devs, I am working on an idea that may offer some minor free promo, no promises though. Interested? Drop me a dm with your game link and a pitch in 15 words or less that DOES NOT feature the name of your game :)
What have you got to lose, it will only take a minute :)

Oblivion opened my eyes to what fantasy games could be when I originally played it. The fact that a shadow dropped remaster elicits 0 emotion from me speaks to the absolute remake fatigue we are in.
We have no shortage of banger indies and their varied tastes beat a whole bowl of member berries.

Every time Nintendo does big announcements nowadays I can't help but think if they were another gaming company they would be absolutely rinsed for it. Even when people are unhappy with them it's like mild annoyance that dissipates after a week.

I hate how Hooded Horse has cornered the market on "Games I like" and "Games I'm trash at". This post bought to you by the Cataclismo 1.0 release
