SOME GOOD NEWS! continue to contact your reps re: KOSA and the KIDS Act, but also give yourself a pat on the back if you called! Your voice mattered!
Free Speech Coalition@fsc.bsky.social · 5h agoSCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!
I knew I was correct in being excited for this game but also this is fucked up
recently a lot of ppl have been telling me "you think differently from me" as like, an expression of discomfort. not even ideologically just like "I don't understand ur brain" and I can't rly tell if there's smth actually worth fixing or ppl r just prickly
Everyone should play Lurruna's EX mode btw, it massively ramps up enemy counts, respawning enemies, enemy speeds & boss attacks making the game truly feel like a run n gun Can unlock it if you hold left + press charge bomb, then by holding charge bomb in the main menu
I interviewed Ojiro Fumoto about POINPY!! and got great insights like: - Why he made it free (so kids who are used to Fortnite and Roblox would try it. Also, the Netflix money was good enough) - His favourite fruit (strawberries) - The game he wishes he made (Cinco Paus by @smestorp.bsky.social)
Poinpy's Revival Is Free, Because of the Kids
"I'm not fond of taking money from kids," says Ojiro "Moppin" Fumoto.

I think I'm making these again, so I want to re-share my first batch of micro-shmup sketches from a few months ago. the project is focused around exploring shmup ideas outside genre 'canon' in a very light and non-committal context. give them a spin, maybe. virtual-butterfly.itch.io/the-mermaid-...

Much discussion about soulful doujin action platformers these days. Perhaps consider Atulado. It's a sort of Sonic musou that remarkably has a genuine like top 10 ost of all time. Not that you can hear it beneath the sound of you whacking dudes but perhaps you are asking for too much in life.
i didn't upload my annalynn review to backloggd in the end. I think I've hit a point where I don't feel the want for attention on that site. but I prob will specifically mirror reviews for games that deserve the attention (ala indie or underappreciated)
this is crazy lil bro. "the future we were promised" dogg you are becoming a nostalgiamaxxing turbofascist for the sake of a doctor's office computer mouse
hiiii... i had been informed that the mp4s on this page were inconsistently not working for ppl.... they have now been converted to a diff format that seems to work more consistently. if they were broken for anyone else, try Control + F5 and try again :D :3
LAKESPIRIT@lakespirit.love · 3d agoHiiii everyone. Polished out a small article on a lil indie game I played a bunch of earlier this year: Annalynn! Compiling & Critiquing a bunch of feelings about my process of learning how to play it, and also sharing some cute clips that may interest ppl ^^ lakespirit.love/posts/2026-0...
