"So when does a building actually become a home – and what changes to make that feeling disappear?" @jfenn.bsky.social muses on the concept of home in works like Blue Prince, Piranesi, The Odyssey, and Gone Home: unwinnable.com/2026/08/05/t...

The Homes We Assemble Inside and Out - Unwinnable

An old home so full of the past that it feels like a choking fog.

Have been playing this ever since writing about falling for love-of-my-life Juniper in GUTSPILL #1: picolitre.press/shop/p/pre-o... So many SV things done right, absolutely worth playing! (and reading GS alongside it 🙃)

I cannot WAIT to finish this thesis and return to actually playing video games, but if you would like to help me write the conclusion I have a question! What video game save-states/home-bases do you think are cool/sweet/weird? Campfires, diary entries, beds, computer terminals, etc.

A Corpse Opens Its Mouth

Home, an alien ghost hand, pilots Mawsynram, the corpse of a soldier. Mawsynram died, not in combat, but because he drank bad water, the kind of military malfeasance which must haunt bases regardless ...

Be like my sister and go grab the first issue of GUTSPILL

Still chuffed about the name GUTSPILL but can’t believe we didn’t think of bing bong 😠 CONTINUE is really exciting me about games writing here. And hey! If you would like to consume some Australian-made video game magazine while you wait… can I 🙃 make a suggestion: picolitre.press/shop/p/pre-o...

CONTINUE Magazine@continuemag.bsky.social · 6mo ago

20 Days to go in the campaign and we're about to hit $73,000 pledged 🥹 Hoping to drop a couple of updates next week but for now here's a bunch of rejected titles we had for CONTINUE? Don't tell us any of them are good please. Get Issue 01 here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/con...

I'm still in what I'm calling a "soft launch" phase but since my bsky network is entirely just other industry folks I'll let you all in on something I've been working on: covergeek.com very basic right now but I know which way(s) I want to grow it! pls tell me what you think of how it looks!!

absolutely amazing things happening

Serrels@serrels.bsky.social · 6mo ago

I want to introduce you all to something myself and @jacksonwryan.com have been working on. A PRINT MAGAZINE about video games and video game culture. We know things have been bad for games writing recently. We're asking, "do you want to Continue?" www.kickstarter.com/projects/con...

The GUTSPILLs are LANDING 💛 Leaving this here for others who would also like to log off and read some Real Game Feelings: picolitre.press/shop/p/pre-o... (especially as an antidote to all the horrifying games industry news this week 🫠)

I wrote a little something for @tier-review.com On 24 Killers and what a home really is Thank you to @gracemachine.bsky.social and @phoenixsimms.bsky.social for the opportunity and the great edits.

THE WORLD IS NOT MY HOME

The @lil-pink-clouds.bsky.social team should feel super proud. I reckon a perfect post-MIGW game that makes you want to put down the controller and flee to the nearest body of water (in a good way!)

Massive crowd in Melbourne/Naarm today (in case you thought this movement was going to be placated with more colonisation). Until the occupation ends. Until Western war criminals and their enablers face justice. Until Palestine is free.

Killed the final boss of PAX (the cringe that tells you not to buy a dagger)

Another lovely bunch of smart and creative people let me ask them the hard-hitting question; what if play, but not video game?!?
