A new painting (by me) I can share for the game we are working on here at Gardens. I still can't say much, but things are moving along smoothly and I'm excited for you all to see it when it's ready. I really appreciate all the enthusiasm everyone has shared with me about the art we've shown so far.

I shared my Intellivision with a young friend and we had a grand ol' time. I'm glad so few pixels is still enough for the new generation. Although, of course, we commiserated over just how awful the controller disc is. :P

A 1986 Japanese guide on how to program using the Family BASIC software for the Famicom features many cute illustrations of Mario and Pauline (known as "Lady" in Japan at the time).

I'm starting to write more reviews of smaller titles on Steam.
1. Reviews are very helpful for developers and players alike.
2. It's a nice way to cap off a fun time with a game.
So not only do I recommend Babushka's Glitch Dungeon, but I also recommend writing reviews of indie games you enjoyed!

Video I wanted to share. Someone used (I think?) a modified version of VHS-Decode to save the REBOOT master tapes, so we're gonna have an HD version of that show at some point.

since other people are doing it, here's a 50 indie game recommendation thread (entirely separate from the 50 indie games i have enjoyed thread i made a few days ago, which is here - bsky.app/profile/ella...). feel free to mute the thread if it's annoying
New rule this year: If you post "Play more indie games" during the game awards, you are required to make a thread recommending 50 of them.
