YouTube video by AlphaPhoenix This is what the speed of light looks like

AlphaPhoenix's latest video on ultra-high-speed recording of light travel is incredible, and you should watch it if you care about quirks of measurement at nano time scales, really good physics vulgarization or just want to see lasers hitting disco balls in slow-mo👏👏

GOTH-TRAD sounds incredible 🤯
Getting Andy Stott vibes but without the "it's supposed to sound this crunchy" part, everything's so pristine!

I love this “what if PSOne vertex position strangeness but pumped up to 11” aesthetic 👌

Save 10% on Consume Me on Steam did you feel stupid, fat, lazy, and ugly in high school? well i did...but at least i made a life-simulation RPG about it!

Consume Me is out! Get this game, I feel confident in saying, based on the demo, and based on knowing the creators, and based on seeing it develop over the last decade, that it is a masterpiece. store.steampowered.com/app/2359120/...

The result of running the aforementionned 10 PRINT program, showing the maze-like structure that emerges.
This runs on Sunflower BASIC, a BASIC interpreter built in the Uxn ecosystem.

Made a very verbose 10 PRINT for Sunflower Basic

1 POKE 1, $0307, $0e1c, $3870, $e0c0
2 POKE 2, $c0e0, $7038, $1c0e, $0703
8 CLS
9 LET X:0,Y:0
10 LET A:R%2+1
11 PRINT #A;
12 LET X:X+1
13 IF X=70 PRINT ""
14 IF X=70 LET X:0,Y:Y+1
15 IF Y>39 END
16 GOTO 10

Getting Papo y Yo and The Last Guardian vibes from the first moments of @okomotive.ch’s Herdling, it’s very pretty and runs incredibly smooth on PS5 👌 the music’s lovely, too!

It has JUST the right amount of metagame sidequest map-marker type things to keep the loop interesting, the world/writing/characters/bike parts have a generous dash of surrealist humor that makes it recognizable as "oh yeah it's from the Nidhogg people", it looks clean and feels fantastic 👌

Re-reading your prompt, I think I misunderstood the assignment 😂 But these are a selection from an older era of indie/freeware PC games that left an imprint on me and opened my eyes on what could be made ✨

@despelote.game has so much charm, it’s absolutely worth your time. The voice performances have such a unique feel! The visual style is a fresh, cahotic mess, and I dig it. It’s personal, heartfelt, doesn’t overstay its welcome. A+++ would kick various objects around leisurely again. 🫶

Signals From Pier Thirteen, by Crash Course In Science 4 track album

A friend introduced me to this 1981 minimal wave gem, which feels like it may as well have been recorded by a bunch of synth nerds last week, and it’s amazing 🔥
