I wrote about my #ADHD diagnosis (and mental health) and how it changed my relationship with gaming for the first time since I got diagnosed 4 years ago, for @mothership.blog www.mothership.blog/after-my-adh...
After my ADHD diagnosis, I began to rethink how I play games

“Colloquially and definitely in my own experience, women expressed that they avoid using voice chat in online lobbies due to toxicity concerns,” Holt said, “and this contributes to the misconception that we aren’t playing these games at all."

My fifth and final review this week (let's not do that again), Demon Tides honors Mario and Sonic by making a just as great platformer.
Pixel Byte@pixelbytegaming.bsky.social · 6mo agoDemon Tides is a joyous sandbox to get lost in thanks to its freedom of movement. Welcome to the new pinnacle of platforming. Our Review: pixelbytegaming.com/demon-tides-...
Reminder to other indie dev teams especially new teams. Most of us are happy to share advice and give feedback on publisher/funding/platform deals and terms. There are some shady predatory biz weasels that will take advantage of you as soon as your game starts to pop off. Please reach out.
RETURN OF THE GONG is now our most popular episode who knew gongs were so popular
Mike Rose@mikerose.bsky.social · 6mo agoThe latest Mike & Rami episode is poppin way harder than any episode previously, and I have no idea why. Podcasts are so much harder to understand than video game sales Was it the stupid cold open I did? Was it the prop? Was it posted somewhere? I have no idea, but cool I guess? mikeandrami.com

How to Write a Press Release for Your Indie Game
A press release is one of the most effective ways to get your game noticed by journalists, bloggers, and content creators. It gives them everything they need to share your news quickly, whether you’re…

AAA studios have historically tried to design games for the hardware that customers are going to have in the future, not the hardware they have now. If they keep trying to do that over the next... Let's say 2-to-5 years, and guess wrongly about what hardware people will have, that will be funny.
Ashley Lynch ✂️🎞️@ashleylynch.bsky.social · 6mo agoThis is frickin absurd. It didn't need to be this way.
It feels really cool to finally have the very first printed test copy in my hands after a year of work. If everything goes as expected, the book will be available worldwide this week. You can wishlist it here 🔗 jettelly.com/store/the-go... #godot #indiedev #gamedev

GAME DESIGNERS! gimme your recommendations/thoughts: for 2026, a personal goal is playing landmark games re: game design. i did not have access to video games until my teenage years so i have no nostalgic stories about Ocarina of Time or Mega Man or [insert cult classic] so hit me with your recs.
I’ve been reading Metro 2033 and I can’t believe how relevant it is to recent times and how it kinda parallels Artyom’s journey with kinda my own life’s journey. Books are so beautiful.
I read for pleasure so seldom these days (sadly!) but this was a rare and wonderful horror treat.
Momo's kidneys are unfortunately unchanged, and they are sure it's because he won't eat his prescription diet. Any tips to force a cat to switch? He normally eats dry food (which the prescription food is), but he absolutely hates this stuff. He won't eat dry mixed with wet and would rather starve...
madds is sleeping...@hyakushiki0087.bsky.social · 8mo agoMajor update. Momo will be seeing a specialist tomorrow the county over, where he will need to stay overnight either tonight or tomorrow night. it's going to cost me an additional $5000 on top of the $3,300 that I've already paid, but the local vets are stumped. Anything helps, please share.
Not only is Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator coming out on Steam January 29th... I can announce today it'll also be coming to Xbox soon as part of a *seven game deal*. Exciting days ahead--and a whole lot of cool games! store.steampowered.com/app/3642000/...

Pen to Pixels@pentopixels.com · 7mo agoRoguelike deckbuilders are often variations of “number go up” but Dogpile deemphasizes that aspect in favor of “dog get big”. The result is worth your attention. Dogpile is different because it wants you to win. It manages to be easy while still being interesting. pentopixels.com/article/dogp...
