Hey! I played a really cool eldritch water birth devil dagger star fox fish horror tumor shooter imperialism simulator by @agelvik.bsky.social It's very hard and time consuming. I broke my mouse trying to beat this. Take it easy on that hardware, folks #gamingsky #gaming

This month, I played a bunch of indie games with odd and dreamlike worlds! @karbonicc.bsky.social, @themidnighttoken.bsky.social, @brycebucher.bsky.social, @kernelfusion.bsky.social, and @lucyblocks.com helped me lose parts of my sanity I didn't know existed. I’m glad they did. #gaming #gamingsky

It's so odd how creatives and execs keep reaching the same conclusion: that they MUST resurrect Tupac Shakur and make his corpse tap dance in order to meet their vision. We're at like five mainstream Tupac zombies now. Have you shameless warlocks no sense of variety? No other spirits left to invoke?

This month I played games that hurt my eyes and made me feel weird. @necroticspider.bsky.social, @clone.bsky.social, @bysameng.com and @vikintor.bsky.social are among the devs here on bsky making surreal, playable, mind-bending art. I'm interested in seeing what they all do next. #gamingsky #gaming

Well, this month's video is taking longer than I wanted. Life is setting up every obstacle it can to prevent you from seeing it. But we persist. In the meantime, maybe check out this cool video on Empty Shell lore. I think it's the creator's first, which is insane cause that game has a LOT of lore
Suffer Bravely Productions@sufferbravelyprod.bsky.social · 5mo agoDecember 10, 1954: A clandestine island facility suffers a series of catastrophes, leading to a mass casualty event. A portion of a declassified CSIS report, attempting to comprehensively explain the events and story of Empty Shell.
It can be hard to make friends after you get memory-wiped and shoved inside a death mech. You should still try, though.
So, from what I've learned Cons of living in the DG universe: > occasional organ robbery > no flavor in the food :( > you may be exploded depending on net worth Pros: > 20 movies exist > survivable amounts of oxygen (usually) > you might see photos of other people’s pets from the before-times
All you really need to survive the post-apocalypse is unlimited airhorns, some cool stickers, and a hype man.
Happy New Year, folks. I spent a good chunk of December trying to wrap my head around this mech-themed dungeon crawler series by @yomigael.bsky.social. It was very hard. And very fun. And I think you can tell the exact moment I lost my mind while playing through it. 🐁 #gamingsky #gaming

Taking a break from my current hyperfixation to say that the OD and Death Stranding: Mosquito trailers look weird and cool ...and with this I recede, back into my pile of post-it notes and gameplay footage
I played a bunch of cool low poly indie games and demos this past month. Bluesky has an awesome community of devs making killer stuff right now, including @hexosphere.xyz (Prison of Husks) @adinolfi.bsky.social (Heartworm) and @knifedemonsoftware.bsky.social (Brush Burial). Exciting times, I say.

@baremetal.bsky.social be like "There ain't no new video on my channel that I should post here and there never was".
Silly question, for the folks who play Metroidvanias: what one game would you tell someone to play to get them into the subgenre? (If I get no answers, I shall continue to pretend they don't exist)
So yesterday I decided to get back into playing classic roguelikes by starting with Caves of Qud. I forgot what that game is. That game is NOT an on-ramp
Now that I've been unplugged for a little while, time to log back in and see what my mutuals have been— Oh fuck what did I do now
