"Icarus Proudbottom's Typing Party," our two-player typing arcade cabinet, will be in the lobby of the Museum of the Moving Image (@movingimagenyc.bsky.social) for the next six months! Thanks to the museum for this opportunity and for @wonderville.nyc for making it happen!

From a salvaged retro arcade cabinet with a CRT monitor to a custom community game platform, @frankchiarulli.com and many other Recursers came together to make something that we couldn't have imagined alone:

Built an arcade cabinet at @recurse.com. Wrote about it 🕹️ www.frankchiarulli.com/blog/buildin...

I had the wonderful pleasure of working on some amazing things this past year that I can now show off! If you attend Super MAGFest 2026, you may be familiar with some of these characters...

Ready to do it all over again? Although Super MAGFest just ended, the wheels are turning and the train is moving along the tracks for our other events

In late 2025 @mag-indiearcade.bsky.social teamed up with @arcadecommons.org to run a game jam called Flip Out - games made using 5 toggle switches. This is the second alt.ctrl game jam following 2024's Lever Up jam. You can play the games made from this jam here: itch.io/jam/flip-out

Flip Out! - An Alt Ctrl Jam

A game jam from 2025-10-16 to 2025-10-26 hosted by Matt! & AndyMakes. Welcome to Flip Out, an alt ctrl game jam and controller workshop by the MAGFest Indie Arcade and Arcade Commons ! Join us for a r...

Between at the @mag-indiearcade.bsky.social went super well too. It was so cool to see gamers play it 24 hours a day. Special thanks to the Indie Arcade team who found and installed a new projector when mine burned out!

Huge thanks to the rest of the @mag-indiearcade.bsky.social team for having me in the space / not giving me too much surprise work in December so I could finish it. And to peeps like @goferboy.bsky.social and @smashriot.bsky.social for being VERY LOUD about how much they loved the game from hour 1!

its post magfest so now I can showoff my Qualia Machine, lovingly built & designed by @blazinkarp.bsky.social inspired by glass teletypes and retro PC from a future that doesn't exist yet. The booth was decorated by me to reflect a cubicle inside an Intellica office. Lots of secrets there too...

Hello Fish Friends it is time for 🎊🐟The MAGFish Awards🐟🎊 Starting off, let's have a round of applause for our BIGGEST FISH: ahem drum roll please and thank you 🥁🐟🥁🐟🥁🐟🥁🐟🥁🐟🥁🐟🥁 SALT HILL (from @smashriot.bsky.social!) with a staggering 57 total meals!! 23 feeds is a lot!!! ON ALL 3?!? how. 1/5

A friendly reminder for any who need to hear it: fish never die! It just doesn't happen, nobody understands it and we stopped trying to? Nothing dies I think????

Of course, always have to give it up for the @arcadecommons.org and @mag-indiearcade.bsky.social people. I've said this during the con, but I've been going to this for 10+ years. To see it go from a little section in the expo hall to becoming one of the main pillars of the con is inspiring.

All of you put years of work into making this grow and it really shows. I am always overhearing people at the con talking about the different cabinets, games, and events from your floor, that attendees love to experience and be a part of, and makes them want to come back each year.

The amount of logistics, ideas, events, and fires you put out is nothing short of incredible. Even though I don't do anything (maybe one year), it's a real blessing to see you grow. Real proud of ya'll.

@mag-indiearcade.bsky.social undefeated

And of course, thank you so much as always to the @mag-indiearcade.bsky.social team for having and supporting us. Their commitment to fostering a space for joy and community inspires us and we certainly couldn't do it without them.
