Delta Green is brutal and extremely good, I want to play it again

this owl has just about had it with the bullshit and me too

Really happy with how this one turned out. Like I say in the post, some of these scenarios would make for a great workplace comedy if this wasn't the stupidest timeline irl.

This InfoWars caper is going a little too well. We need to staff up a bit. We're hiring a Social Media Lead, who will help make InfoWars the network of the future. We need someone who is extraordinarily online, has big ideas for how things break through in 2026, and can pull those ideas off quick.

Daniel is the other half of our 2 person 3D team at Sunset Visitor and he made a cool game!! Check it out!! Congratulations Daniel!! 🎉❤️

regardless of whether you find this change to be good or bad, i think we can all agree: whoever was told to do it has probably already been laid off

Bethesda reveals new logo for its 40th anniversary

it should be easier to buy the Major's jacket from Ghost in the Shell (1995), there should just be a store that sells it 24/7 but only for me

Absolutely fascinating sci-fi murder mystery game that plays out through the pages of a diegetic wikipedia-style website. It's on sale atm so there's never been a better time to pick this up!

joannes@playthroughline.com · 6d ago

Thank you, that's so kind of you ❤️ Neurocracy usually goes for $12, but it's currently on sale while the new stories are going up ^_^

In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...

Happy International Friendship Day from two Toronto indie studios cheering each other on! 🤝 We’re grateful for friends like the team at @softrains.bsky.social & this year we’re sharing one very big date: August 6! Two very different indie games, one shared launch day & so much hype for next week🎉✨

Friends, I would love to watch some horror/suspense movies or read some horror/suspense stories set in feudal Japan, if you know of any offhand. (I have seen ONIBABA and KWAIDAN and will be watching KURONEKO soon)

Update: I've got a whole bunch of new games to dig into now thanks to y'all. Excellent taste on display in the comments for anyone else on the hunt!

Playing a lot of investigative/mystery games these days for... reasons... and looking for recommendations! Adventure/puzzle games like Type Help/The Incident at Galley House, The Roottrees are Dead, Return of the Obra Dinn, The Seance of Blake Manor preferred!

This is your informal (not formal) notice that Act Two (the second half) of Ambrosia Sky (an atmospheric sci-fi cleaning game about saying goodbye) comes out next week (August 6th). It's a free (🚫💰) update for all existing owners, which could be you (the person reading this)! ➡ ambrosiasky.com

Repulsive. This industry is full of rot.

After laying off Battlefield 6 devs, EA boss Andrew Wilson's bonus rose $8m to $38m last year, thanks to the game's success across "all milestones" www.eurogamer.net/ea-boss-38-m...

Our foremost new action star being a gigantic sweetiepie Christian leftist is really an incredible coup

Oh thank God he’s back

An enormous congratulations to each and every developer that worked with me on Strange Scaffold's very first driving game. (I'll tag them throughout the day.) This was one of the most challenging games that I've ever made, but I'm grateful for all of these talented devs for sticking the landing <3

South of Midnight won Game of the Year at #G4C2026! Congrats to all fellow nominees! As we celebrate this milestone and reflect on our journey, we look ahead with excitement to creating more unique, new original games.

Playing a lot of investigative/mystery games these days for... reasons... and looking for recommendations! Adventure/puzzle games like Type Help/The Incident at Galley House, The Roottrees are Dead, Return of the Obra Dinn, The Seance of Blake Manor preferred!

Couldn't sleep until I finished The Incident At Galley House tonight. Ended up staying up way too late. Totally worth it. Fantastic game. If you've any appreciation for investigation mysteries like Return of the Obra Dinn or Case of the Golden Idol, you NEED to play this one next. Go in blind.

Save 10% on The Incident at Galley House on Steam

In 1936, something terrible happened at Galley House. Decades later, with a strange contraption that reveals echoes of the past, you must uncover the truth behind this grisly mystery.

interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”

NEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

If you're even a _tiny_ bit into security and privacy, pay attention to this one. A court filing in a case against cyberhacker Peter Stokes revealed Microsoft's GDID embedded in EVERY Win11 install provided the FBI the ability to trace his PC across VPNs(!!) & proxies(!!) across three countries.

Microsoft admits Windows 11 has a GDID tracker with no off switch, first documented publicly in an FBI hacker complaint

GDID is the persistent Windows ID that helped FBI trace a Scattered Spider hacker despite VPNs. Here's how it works and how to limit it.

Marveling at the absolutely fascinating system they implemented this year for Worlds Semis and Finals ticketing. I get that scalpers and bots are a real problem, but the communication from the lolesports team about the fan first verification process has left a lot to be desired. Pretty bummed!
