How old am I? Instagram influencers are calling my favorite albums from college "niche, undiscovered indie pop albums"
Can't find a way to make this work as my banner image, so I'm pinning it instead.
if I ever taught film criticism lesson one would be “you being smarter than the movie is not interesting to anyone”
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-...
Just won the mid-30's dude with a mustache lottery (secured a ticket to see Angine de Poitrine)
With all the praise for Alabaster Dawn floating around, I'm giving Cross Code my third real try. This game should be Exactly My Shit but I've always fallen off for whatever reason!
There's anti-Mixtape discourse? Take that as a sign to log off and go outside imo
The ending of Titanium Court, and the conversation the player has with the game to arrive there, is genius. Absolutely one of the year's best.
Very different games for sure, but tough for me to square that you could get Vampire Crawlers, Slay the Spire 2, Consume Me, and Titanium Court for less than a Saros. (Guess which route I've gone)
Made a new rule that I only Bluesky on a computer so I don't scroll on my phone, tons of folks talking about Pragmata discourse and not knowing what they are talking about is giving me so much JOMO right now.
6 hours is canonically the right amount of time to discuss persona 4 golden

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.
Two fantastic, opposing albums releasing today: 1. Angine de Poitrine (21 notes per second) 2. Sunn O))) (1 note every 21 seconds)
This is how I’ve been playing and it’s exquisite. I’m sure I’d prefer having a squad of friends to play with (hit me up!) but I’ve had much more fun solo than with random people.

YOU - “I approve of this, very futuristic.” (Tap on the girls kissing.)
If you have even the slightest interest in how great games are made, make time for this interview with the creator of Esoteric Ebb -- the year's best RPG (so far). It's rare for a designer to create a masterpiece. It's even rarer for them to explain HOW they did it. Clear, thoughtful, and funny!

Nothing better than rolling credits on Esoteric Ebb and having a Post Games episode with the creator to listen to the next day. Thanks @plante.bsky.social !
