In time for @bandcamp.com Friday, we have a new option to buy the full discography of @coincidence.games OSTs at a discount. There's some rad music I worked on in there: Add Astra! Kaizen! There's also some rather rad music I had nothing to do with, namely @matthewseiji.com's U.V.S. Nirmana OST!

2026

There are a million important things about this video, but here's one of them for sure: Does @writnelson.bsky.social know that @fdsignifier.bsky.social wants to make a game that's "what if Persona meets Pan-Africanism?"

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

By franchise-led they probably don't mean a @jesawyer.bsky.social directed Pentiment 2: The Name of the Gun.

This first episode was extremely good.

This one is weird even by our usual very high, deeply weird standard. Come meet the dreaming selves of four folks who all have a fair bit of stuff they need to work out.

I wrote about how Skin Deep's "Highlighter System" works -- automatically detecting events in the world and showcasing them to the player: blendogames.com/news/post/20...

The wait is finally over! Ghosties get involved @pbs.org Also airing tonight on your local PBS station 7PM PT, 10PM ET! "The one documentary with the power to burst the AI bubble" - The Wrap www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLQz...

I literally just turned in final edits on a journal article talking about how moral panics target horror/horror-adjacent games with censorship based on fictitious contents featuring Rule of Rose and the recent debacle involving Horses... then THIS happens. Get it together, Steam!!!!

Since the Zelda 40th anniversary stream is happening... This is the first (and only?) American review of the original Legend of Zelda, from the August 1987 issue of Computer Entertainer. The reviewer praised its "mythic aura" and "fairy-tale quality." Read the full issue: https://ow.ly/tg3s50ZJMSY

We're live with the conclusion of Adam's Disco Elysium playthrough (and a discussion of what to play next, afterward) starting in ~10min! twitch.tv/hollyhockadam/

It's time! There are three new cassettes and we still have some of the 30th anniversary Reject All American LPs on rainbow splatter vinyl. Profit on sales from ANY and all items will be donated: bikinikill.bandcamp.com

Alert, alert! (Also, congrats on the baby, Taki!)

Got a spare $10? Net yourself almost 150 games and help support laid off game devs with the game industry hardship fund bundle. https://bit.ly/4wGDzDk

Here comes the sun, doot-n-doo-doo [extremely ominous]

🎉 IT'S LIVE 🎉 The game industry hardship fund itch bundle made in partnership with @necrosoftgames.com is HERE. Over 100 games for $10+ bucks: all funds (save for itch fees) go directly to the UVW-CWA Game Worker Hardship Fund. GOOD GAMES FOR A GOOD CAUSE👇 itch.io/b/3802/game-...

Our two investigations into Madison Square Garden are now unpaywalled and free for anyone to read.

I'm GMing a third... arc? cour? of the EXTREME MEATPUNKS FOREVER TTRPG right the fuck now, over on @dicepunks.bsky.social. Two episodes (of four) are already out to make you say "woah" and "hmm" and also very likely "ew." You can hear it wherever you can hear podcasts.

Im open to new contracts for music, sound design and implementation - please reach out to me if you're interested in working together or setting aside a production period soon!

Though by no means a complete metric I’ve always considered “can I install an emulator on this?” to be a good shorthand for if you actually own a computer or not.

If you like TTRPGs that draw you into genuinely strange worlds, then I can't recommend this one highly enough.

Among the truest things ever said in/about any manifesto: "(I'm trying to convince myself just as much as I'm trying to convince you.)"

New missions! Today's update for U.V.S. Nirmana adds 10 new bonus missions that will require you to use familiar tools in unfamiliar ways, increasing in difficulty to challenges that may at first seem impossible. steamcommunity.com/games/253672...

Got inspired and wrote a quick one.

Hell Will Scar You. Thousand Hells: The Underworld Heists is releasing Fall 2026. 😈 store.steampowered.com/app/3794210/...

Gabe's Baby Steps GDC level design talk just got set to free - obviously I'm biased but the session feedback scores were also off the charts. Recommended: gdcvault.com/play/1035806...

Mythic and dream-like in ways you'll appreciate if you're like, genuinely into myths and dreams.

It's heartbreaking that games as a medium remain out of reach for people telling the stories worth telling most. www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfe...

My memory of what it was like to browse the Xbox Live Indie Games store page in 2010

Clearly this, from @radiatoryang.bsky.social.
