Video Game Trivia: Armageddon is available to watch on YouTube. Thankful to the panel, the audience & PAX for letting us rip an eighth. @djstormageddon.com @gnoisegenerator.bsky.social @baronj67.bsky.social @klimovauthor.bsky.social @itsmike.town @mrkstep.bsky.social WATCH: youtu.be/1BAEHFEYiS4

Mondaysssssss

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

here's this week's stream schedule: MON. 10/26 - single player! THUR. 10/29 - Thank You Bus Driver GIVEAWAY @doublefine.com was kind enough to supply a Steam key for Thursday's giveaway! more like Thank You Double Fine 💘 see ya this week! twitch.tv/danomak

Here are the last four games I've played! What are yours?

Here are last four games I played! What are yours?

Playing Blake Manor at the appropriate time in the calendar.

For my birthday can just 19 more ppl please please please leave a positive review on LOVE ETERNAL?? We never expected to get this close to a big algorithm number but are so grateful 🎂🎂🎂 store.steampowered.com/app/3010610/...

Well there it is. The most encapsulating image of Giant Bomb to ever exist. @giantbomb.com @danryckert.com @janochoa.bsky.social

@lesperak.bsky.social was lied to.

Don't want to diminish the direct human impacts here (i.e.: job loss) but it is *unpleasant* to follow the video games industry writ large at the moment. Hardware constraints, closures, Steam slop - it is *only* dread these days.

Umm what. How is it that we legit have an episode on Mouthwashing coming out the day before.

Jenny is a consistently formidable force in our space who always shows up to everything with a very enviable level of care. @kimchica.bsky.social Case and point: she came with a classification system for the episode that made the whole thing sing and I can’t wait for you to watch/listen.

Aggressive.

Cineplex’s moviegoing experience is more miserable with every passing year. Ninety minute movie means four Scotiabank ads before we play the trailers.

Maybe not everything has to be content

Oh no wait does iOS 27 make Apple Intelligence mandatory?

How do you even survive as an indie in the current landscape? This is insane.

wait why is @janochoa.bsky.social a juggalo

Live music is healing.

I've run out of words to explain how much Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker means to me, so I got a tattoo. @hideokojimaen.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Apple Crumble has a RELEASE DATE!! From the creators of Duck Detective (us) Inspired by Mouthwashing & Knives Out Someone’s trying to kill your grandma - but WHO? Launching December 3rd!! The demo is also out now on Steam! & remember… everyone is a suspect 🥧🔪

omg wait its rock-tober 13 already?

The Best KF Intro of All-Time?

Scrolling through Next Fest and I cannot stress enough how low to the ground the bar has gotten. If you make capsule art that is at least obviously not slop, you're beating out what seems like 99% of the competition

Shoutout to @enigma9011.bsky.social and TJ for having me to talk about the @iii-initiative.bsky.social, Video Game Trivia and No More Heroes 2?

I’m afraid to admit that No More Heroes 2 is aggressively boring. I played the whole thing.

My kid has started a Letterboxd list called Killer Sweaters for films where the killer wears a great sweater and they've asked me to throw it out to Bluesky for more because "that's the kind of thing those weirdos like to do"

This is not a bit. I have exactly 69 hats in my collection.

TOEM 2 (Something We Made, 2026)

Thankful for Jared Goff this Canadian thanksgiving.

Games under 5 hours, you say? store.steampowered.com/curator/4645...

Maybe you should tune into @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social Gamescast to see a familiar face...

Check out this excellent conversation about The Final Cut of Lilith Cunningham with our Director of Production and co-writer @amandafarough.ca from @jacob.bsky.social @ PAX West. Learn more about our inspirations, the strange Alpine Movie Manor Hotel & Drive-In, and why FMV is right for us!

I'm sorry... Costume Quest 1 & 2 bundle is only $4 on Steam right now? What the heck are you doing looking at social media when you could instead be playing Costume Quest 1 & 2 for $4? store.steampowered.com/sub/53813/

Luke interviewed @bunkstunkis.bsky.social on the PAX West floor all about Blocks for Babies! @lukewarmlewis.bsky.social

Wild thought, throwing this out there: My name is Aaron, and I would love to guest on anyone's podcast. My schedule is very flexible and I will talk your dang ear off about whatever we're talking about. HIT ME UP. Here's all of my shows ⤵️ scabzilla.transistor.fm

Here's my next game, ROTETRA, a tetromino stacker where you spin the whole board and juggle multiple pieces at once! It's a little bit cursed, but I've been having fun making it! Play the demo (and wishlist 👉👈): store.steampowered.com/app/4306820/... also, on web: sharkwithlasers.itch.io/rotetra

lnkd.in/p/ggTXsjzB Supermassive just announced a game on… LinkedIn? It’s not on their Bluesky, Twitter or YouTube channel so you probably haven’t seen the announcement
