This first episode was extremely good.

Hi! This is out today and it’s awesome! And I am proud to be connected to it! SUPPORT TRANS PEOPLE!!! WE ARE FUCKING MAGICAL!!!!

This one is weird even by our usual very high, deeply weird standard. Come meet the dreaming selves of four folks who all have a fair bit of stuff they need to work out.

Dice Punks@dicepunks.bsky.social · 2d ago

We're so excited for today's episode, as it's Nik's podcast-GMing debut! (He's a skilled, creative, veteran GM, but hasn't done so on our podcast... until now!) So tune in to our trio of Dreampunk episodes, starting with today's: 0.28 - Oh Good, You're Finally Asleep dicepunks.com/podcast/0-28/

I wrote about how Skin Deep's "Highlighter System" works -- automatically detecting events in the world and showcasing them to the player: blendogames.com/news/post/20...

I literally just turned in final edits on a journal article talking about how moral panics target horror/horror-adjacent games with censorship based on fictitious contents featuring Rule of Rose and the recent debacle involving Horses... then THIS happens. Get it together, Steam!!!!

Dave Gilbert@wadjeteyegames.com · 4d ago

We are aware that Steam has classified Nighthawks as an adult game and has excluded it from searches (and delisted it entirely in certain countries). We are working on it. Valve is under the impression that this game is way sexier than it actually is.

Yo. This is the union calling for a boycott. Here in America people like to say "Well I was already boycotting Starbucks!" No you were not. You were just choosing not to buy their stuff. That is not a boycott. A boycott is an organized, collective activity. "I" don't boycott: we do.

Starbucks Workers United@sbworkersunited.org · 5d ago

We have power in numbers, and we'll continue to fight for a better Starbucks. Support us by BOYCOTTING STARBUCKS until the company finalizes fair union contracts with workers! boycottstarbucks.net

Since the Zelda 40th anniversary stream is happening... This is the first (and only?) American review of the original Legend of Zelda, from the August 1987 issue of Computer Entertainer. The reviewer praised its "mythic aura" and "fairy-tale quality." Read the full issue: https://ow.ly/tg3s50ZJMSY

Given what a mess Rex Nebular can be going through DOSBox, I'm so hype about this.

Konstantinos Dimopoulos@konstantinosd.bsky.social · last wk.

The MADS games (Rex Nebular, Return of the Phantom, Dragonsphere, and Once Upon a Forest) are coming to ScummVM ♥️ www.scummvm.org/news/20260826/

We're live with the conclusion of Adam's Disco Elysium playthrough (and a discussion of what to play next, afterward) starting in ~10min! twitch.tv/hollyhockadam/

It's time! There are three new cassettes and we still have some of the 30th anniversary Reject All American LPs on rainbow splatter vinyl. Profit on sales from ANY and all items will be donated: bikinikill.bandcamp.com

Maggie Vail@magicbeans.bsky.social · 2w ago

I will be adding some new items to the store for tomorrow's Bandcamp Friday. Bikini Kill Records will be raising funds for @abortionfunds.bsky.social all day tomorrow.

Alert, alert! (Also, congrats on the baby, Taki!)

Taki Udon@takiudon.bsky.social · 2w ago

I need to buy diapers and get some sleep. A limited early release of batch 5 SuperStation units have been added to the store for immediate delivery. The full batch 5 release will drop mid September with shipment this month.

Got a spare $10? Net yourself almost 150 games and help support laid off game devs with the game industry hardship fund bundle. https://bit.ly/4wGDzDk

In time for @bandcamp.com Friday, we have a new option to buy the full discography of @coincidence.games OSTs at a discount. There's some rad music I worked on in there: Add Astra! Kaizen! There's also some rather rad music I had nothing to do with, namely @matthewseiji.com's U.V.S. Nirmana OST!

Our two investigations into Madison Square Garden are now unpaywalled and free for anyone to read.

WIRED@wired.com · 2mo ago

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

I'm GMing a third... arc? cour? of the EXTREME MEATPUNKS FOREVER TTRPG right the fuck now, over on @dicepunks.bsky.social. Two episodes (of four) are already out to make you say "woah" and "hmm" and also very likely "ew." You can hear it wherever you can hear podcasts.

Im open to new contracts for music, sound design and implementation - please reach out to me if you're interested in working together or setting aside a production period soon!

Josie Brechner - 500 FINGER FILLET demo OUT NOW@visager.bsky.social · 8mo ago

✨ Hi I'm Josie - I make music for games! I'm looking for work this spring and I'd love 2 combine forces with a team that wants to make something weird, wild, and full of heart. Is that you? Let's talk!! 🙋🏻‍♀️ josiebrech@gmail.com 💻 josiebrechner.com

Wishing the Double Fine folks the very best, and looking forward to buying Kiln and Keeper the instant I can do so without breaking BDS.

Double Fine@doublefine.com · 2mo ago

Though by no means a complete metric I’ve always considered “can I install an emulator on this?” to be a good shorthand for if you actually own a computer or not.

If you like TTRPGs that draw you into genuinely strange worlds, then I can't recommend this one highly enough.

Jack King-Spooner@king-spooner.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Sluggish Morss: The TTRPG is now available for print on demand! Enter the bizarre world of Blobbits, Zardles and Time Expressions. A full colour, maddening explosion of joy. www.blurb.co.uk/b/12253004-s...

Among the truest things ever said in/about any manifesto: "(I'm trying to convince myself just as much as I'm trying to convince you.)"

thisisstar@thisisstar.bsky.social · 3mo ago

I also made something for #manifestojam & I would love if you would check it out. thisisstar.itch.io/instructions...

New missions! Today's update for U.V.S. Nirmana adds 10 new bonus missions that will require you to use familiar tools in unfamiliar ways, increasing in difficulty to challenges that may at first seem impossible. steamcommunity.com/games/253672...

Got inspired and wrote a quick one.
