I might have an indie bookstore pre-order campaign brewing.
And this might be one of the pre-order bonuses I revealed on IG yesterday to celebrate reaching 800 followers there.

We are calling for an immediate stop to all purchases from Upper Deck.
Their total lack of communication is distressing—so we call upon everyone to help us escalate.
No purchases from Upper Deck. No media coverage or posts of their games.
Upper Deck will only respond when it hurts their wallets.

YIKES.
Upper Deck (Marvel Legendary) just announced a CCG using the Harry Potter license.
Fans of UD are rallying against this decision. Like the CGE situation last year, I’m asking for your help.
Join us. Share your disgust and frustration, and help us push UD to retract their awful decision. 🎲✂️

This is devastating. One of my favourite games of the year, To a T is a beautiful slice-of-life narrative with some of the best disability messaging I’ve seen in games.
Please play it!

Keita Takahashi said 'To a T' didn't sell well enough. He moved back to Japan with his family, unsure if he will stay in the industry.

It's a daily web game, but every day there are new rules, plus there's a story (and some lovely art) that progresses with each day.

I checked out a game in my backlog yesterday: Quartet.
It's a turn-based RPG that feels straight out of a SNES Final Fantasy, with a killer soundtrack and SUCH good writing. I'm just getting started, but I'm struck by the storytelling in Wallside. 🧵

October's game is Mouthwashing, and the episode with @miladyconfetti.bsky.social is LIVE!
The game begins with "I hope this hurts" and it DOES hurt: it also provides much to dig into regarding the capacity for harm and "taking responsibility"
