Here’s a cool turtle that strolled onto my porch one day and left shortly after. I hope he’s off doing something he loves.

What awful UX this is from @metacritic.com - the score is only two numbers and you need to truncate it? Even when plenty of room available. I assume this dark pattern is so you click in. Just terrible. #design #webdesign #ux

Lab Rat is a really great puzzle game. Very silly too - though I think it would be better without the Dev Comm parts, which can get a little grating. Just let SARA test! #videogames #indiegames

So fun that they put @adamconover.net in #AstroBot. He does question everything, doesn’t he? But in a good way.

Finished up Minishoot’ adventures and had a blast! Really fun 13-ish hour adventure. Another great Steam Deck experience! Looking forward to what the devs do next. #videogames #games #indiegames

Tactical Breach Wizards is so good. The overall gameplay is great, but what makes it so good is the characters and dialogue. Just great writing again from @pentadact.com. Check it out! #videogames #games

Games like Balatro and UFO 50 feel like they were made for Steam Deck. Just so fun to sit on the couch and play. #steamdeck #balatro #ufo50 #videogames

Lorelei and the laser eyes is an awesome puzzle game. It reminds me of a really good escape room. It’s great on steam deck too!

Even after 100s of hours, Satisfactory is still a blast. I think I spend just as much time designing the aesthetics of my factory as I do setting up what it actually makes. #satisfactory

Having a lot of fun with Sea of Stars. Enjoyable combat with a good story (so far). Has that same sense of humor that was good from The Messenger. It’s on game pass and ps+. #gaming #indiegames

This year especially, feels like we’re starting to deal with the consequences.

I think Humanity is still my game of the year so far. It’s so well made and continues to challenge the player throughout the campaign, adding mechanics as it goes. Check it out if you get a chance.

Very excited to see How to with John Wilson is back. Always surprised at what he’s able to film and make work into an episode.
