Plus, @kittencupstudio.bsky.social added a three-headed Canada goose named Gooseberus whose heads are named Loonie, Toonie and Buck.

Finished @qdork.bsky.social's Consume Me and it's easily one of my favourite games of the year.
A wonderful coming-of-age story told through consistently inventive life sim mechanics and extremely charming visuals and sound design.
Perfect length and pacing, too.
Cannot recommend this enough!

Nothing better than getting home after a lot of travel, kicking back and watching peak television from Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn. 💯

Thoroughly enjoyed my 1st #MIGS!
Been burnt out so it was truly inspiring to see the passion of so many new & familiar devs firsthand.
(Special shoutout to Toronto’s @visaigames.bsky.social for their insightful talk about 2nd game challenges after the incredible Venba.)
Excited to return in 2026!

Locking in plans to attend The Game Awards for a few days around the show itself. (Devs/PR/colleagues, HMU if you’re doing anything that week!)
