A Profound Waste of Time: Issue 6 The beloved gaming mag returns, with Astro Bot's Nicolas Doucet, Danganronpa's Kazutaka Kodaka, Team Ninja's Fumihiko Yasuda and more!

Just because there’s 22 days left to back the newest volume of @apwot.bsky.social does not mean you should dilly dally. Lenticular cover? Sheeeeeeeit. Sign me up.

@cazwis.bsky.social always delivers, y’all.

"I see the game as the guest. I want to make sure I do everything I can to show off every part of this guest."

I spoke with Shinya Arino, host and faithful "employee" of GameCenter CX about his philosophy, career highlights, and the secrets behind the trailblazing show. He was a delight.

Thank you for the support! I truly appreciate it ✌️

Ah cheers man I hope you enjoy it!

A Profound Waste of Time Issue 5 arrived in my mailbox yesterday, and it's just perfection as I've come to expect from APWOT.

The cover story about Unicorn Overlord and Vanillaware was great and accompanied by some spectacular artwork throughout.

@cazwis.bsky.social congrats on the release!

The special edition of APWOT 6 will feature a lenticular print affixed to the cover, allowing Astro to change expressions like he does in game! Art by @error403.bsky.social 🤖 ✨

Perfect excuse to #84bump right here

Heck yeah, support A Profound Waste of Time! They are sooo cool.

Just received APWOT5 and god @apwot.bsky.social is genuinely and consistently incredible. This edition is extra special to me: I am super honored to have my short essay on how games as a medium and flying as an activity connect in my brain.

APWOT is easily the best printed media about video games. With a bullet. Been a fan since the first issue and back it every year. Absolutely amazing quality and design on every page, with some fascinating stuff inside.

BACK APWOT!

Come party with me

Almost at the end of the first issue of APWOT. Such a masterpiece, got me to go try out Downwell as well finally given the neat pop out diagram too.

APWOT slipcase and Issue 5 arrived!! 😭✨
Lots of reading tonight~

imagine how quickly they could get this game out if they only had around 30 more people working on it.
