I had a really fun (and tense) time playing #DeadTake from @surgentstudios.bsky.social

Some messages I'm definitely going to keep thinking about for a long time coming

What a heartwarming #Gamechanger episode
I'm laughing so hard that the tired Italian man's name is Manny Petty

I got to hear from @abubakarsalim.bsky.social about #DeadTake from @surgentstudios.bsky.social

How you'll interact with the world, the importance of the actors in the story, and why it was important to tell this story as a game

Dead Take is out on the 31st!

Was a fantastic morning of purchasing kale a $1 per stalk and then proceeding to creep after capybara to pay tithe

On my 4th attempt over 3 weeks I got the yeast to work properly and crushed this foccacia-ey pizza recipe

So fucking delicious!

My God the DS/3DS is such an incredible system, even now I'm finding more good stuff I need to go back and play

Just can't replicate that dual screen image goodness

Really important video to show your loved ones who are tech savvy or not

AI is absolutely destroying every platform, and while it's mostly useless it's also being used to weaponize people. Gotta stay informed and safe!

The addition of Mr Beholder Head brings my collection of Minis to 600!

Why yes I _do_ keep a database of them all

Day off which means morning dog park, Critical Role and Mario Kart, and I'm finally going to succeed at cooking with yeast! (Hopefully... It didn't work yesterday...)

I had an incredible time checking out Digimon Story: Time Stranger. Combat is pretty consistent, but the overworld is filled with life, so many QoL enhancements, and I'm so excited to learn about the full roster.

I'm the last person who will say you need to have played all games in a series to be 'eligible' to review

But I do think if you're coming in totally fresh there is some level of research that should be done, otherwise there's the potential that your words just won't make sense..

This anthology is going to be great for hiatus or introducing new players

I do gotta ask though... Where are the gem dragons?

Ahead of the realease of #CrookedMoon check out the spreads for the Stoneborn, a species of gargoyle people, and the doll-like Threadborn.

That Threadborn "You've got a friend" ability sounds great for those support players

@avantris.bsky.social have something really cool here!

Brb preparing a 1 shot where low level players need to take out the beholder after having hidden all of his eyes.

DM needs to hunt the battlefield for where they're hidden to reclaim a beam at a time

Thank you @dndbeyond.com for sending this beautiful abomination

Being able to use a resource like a power cable. Then disconnect it and roll it up to use again for another day made me feel giddy about how you don't need to waste stuff haha

It was such an honor to be able to play all of these games and it makes me SO EXCITED for the indie scene that there's just so many unique ideas and fun games coming out so damn often

Check my article, a large number of them also have demos available now!

Lastly, #OFF the remaster of
@mortisghost.bsky.social
classic RPG Maker title getting remade and it looks like it's going to be an indie darling to those who haven't seen it before.

unique worlds, strange mechanics, & new tracks (including by
@tobyfox.undertale.com
) keep an eye out!

A cool boomer shooter was #Gunstoppable by
CAGE Studios
where momentum = more damage

I loved the way the game would naturally attract me to rails, walls, etc so that even when I didn't think I was going to do something cool... I ended up doing really cool things

Survival game

@wearechannel37.bsky.social
absolutely blew me away! Scale of the non-proc gen world was huge, story was super interesting, and QoL options were amazing

You can tell they've been studying other games with crafting to make it better for the player

Another Soulslike, more classic in gameplay, and even more classic in it's look.
@prisonofhusks.bsky.social
is a early PS2 inspired soulslike where I got to walk around a really awesome gothic castle and get my ass handed to me.

Looks like an early PS2 game, runs and feels hella smooth

An arena shooter with cute animals and VERY customizable mechs is ANIME Stars Arena

The gameplay was fun and their Kickstarter is live now!
kickstarter.com/projects/ani...

They also had a cool physical mech from the game with detachable parts

Then there was #DeathHowl that was a unique take on the grit and difficulty of Soulslike but in a beautiful pixelated tactics game

Each battle is smaller in scale making it bite-sized, but super tough to get a few back to back

First Up, Captain Wayne - Cavation Desperation by Ciaran Games LLC and published by @silverliningint.bsky.social

A fun boomer shooter with some really neat movement/combat mechanics. I wasn't great at it, but I'm sure others will be!

Really dug the art style throughout
