@guv-bubbs.bsky.social wanted to see it... so here are 9 games that shaped who I am. I focused on games that were formative for me, or made me think differently about games or game design (and obviously these are all games that I loved playing). It's very difficult to narrow this down to just 9!

I went to the doctor and they asked for me to pee into a plastic cup. I wasn’t sure if they were playing a practical joke on me, but it turned out that they were just taking the piss.

Due to a series of random events I ended up in the brand website for Sour Patch Kids which contains recipes that are absolutely BONKERS. These include but are not limited to Sour Patch Kids rice crispy squares and Sour Patch Kid Popcorn *shudders* www.snackworks.com/brands/sour-...

When my dog lies down to relax, he usually grabs one of his teddy bears to cuddle with. It's pretty adorbs I have to say

Robert "The Bobby Yaga" McNees@mcnees.bsky.social · last yr.

I bought @panic.com's Nova a few months ago because it is great for my occasional html-ing and css-ing, and I would rather step on a rake than use VSCode or something like that. Nova is a genuine mac-assed app and it is *on sale for the next two weeks*. If you've been on the fence, now is the time.

I'm very proud to be a part of @play.date Season 2. I think you're really going to enjoy Black Hole Havoc, which I cooked up together with Tonyo and K. I can't want for people to experience it together with the other great games in Playdate's Season 2!

Season Two will realize the dream of everyone following along weekly as games get released—like a TV show we're all speculating on and discussing. It's gonna be great! 💛
