Oh okay this video just did a Mortal Kombat Fatality on me

IMO: it’s pretty accurate.

"One of the most interesting takes I've seen on bullet-heaven leveling, power curves, and speed. [...] It feels so good to zip through a run, and makes me want to come back and play more."

Always thrilled to see @wanderbot.bsky.social play. Thank you! 🙌

Spoke to a number of devs about how, in the face of CEOs claiming gen-AI is the future, their declaration of being genAI free is making waves.

There is no way you can guess how the thread that ends in this instant classic begins.
The damned in hell are not more powerful for the fact that the fires do not consume them; it is part and parcel of their torment.

Went to the local board game store for its bi-annual used game sale and picked up this stack of bangers.

All of these were on our “buy on sight, but don’t expect to see at the sale” list, so it was a pleasant surprise to snag them all.

Only thing we missed out on was the Dark Souls board game.

I’m going to a big used board game sale tomorrow, and need suggestions for games to look out for!

Ideally games that are either:
* Rare
* Out of Print
* Only released via crowdfunding and never retail.
* Are Niche/Dont rank highly on Board Game Geek

Stuff like Sorcerer City & Everstone. Ideally.

This Way Madness Lies is a great game and barely anybody bought it. It should be played by more people. If everybody here on @bsky.app banded together and bought a Steam copy and played it, well, that'd be a miracle and I would be forever grateful.

It's finally coming!!
On December 8th... I'm releasing my next game, Angeline Era!!!
It's a vast, 3D action-adventure where you travel across a country's unmarked overworld, with every level hidden in plain sight.
Please look forward to it!!

In no particular order:

Clank Catacombs
Unconscious Mind
Slay the Spire
Keep The Heroes Out
Oceans
Wingspan
Spirit Island
Dwellings of Eldervale/Andromeda’s Edge
Arkham Horror LCG
Creature Caravan

Not sure if these are my definitive top 10, but they’re all contenders.

If you have an AI Generated pfp:

🔸 I will not give you the benefit of the doubt in any exchange.

🔸 I give more trust to a rando on the street than you.

🔸 I think you are sus (Derogatory).

🔸 Your opinion is probably bad. Just look at your pfp.

I’m on the jury for a different game awards event, and I really have to echo this.

We have like, 30-50 jurors for the event, and some of the devs/pubs gave the organizers 5 keys for us to… share?

No matter how cool a game looks, if we don’t have access to it then we cannot vote for it.
blog post boiling within me titled "indie publishers, you need to get your shit together" based on this year of indie pubs submitting games to IGF w/ a demo and then when asked for a dev build so anyone can actually judge it, either ghost or go "we will provide you with a build on the release date"

Players of the beta for upcoming Hoyo title Petit Planet have noticed there’s an AI chatbot featured and at least one barista NPC whose dialogue is generated by AI

Fans of their titles are defending it saying “this is a good use of AI” and “you can’t stop AI at this point.”

This is from the TOS:

Your video game consoles cost more today than they did last year as a *direct result* of Trump's tarriffs.

There's no debate, there's no opinion - that's the reality. Games cost more for everyone inside and outside of the US now because of Trump.

If you’re in the US, early voting has probably started in your area. So go vote when you get the chance!

I know it’s an off year for mostly minor positions & local officials, but they’re still important!

Tried out SWAPMEAT's Early Access launch yesterday had a great time! It's a weird mix of Bullet Heaven progression, third-person shooting, and body horror potato-head part swapping, but it works really well. youtu.be/o3Gpc9QOCpM #ad
