I need to say the new pokemon game is actually PRETTY good. It's fun, it's dynamic. It's visually repetitive but what's there it's usually nice to look at. It runs great.

It is not what I always dreamed of as a child, but I was a terrible game designer as a kid so that's actually a good thing.

It's pretty amazing how you can play this and go from "oh this is so much fun" to "i want to burn this game" in 0.0001 seconds!

Yeah for sure! But it felt a bit exhausting from time to time. I don't know if i'm gonna keep playing, i'm just happy I got to beat it at least once haha

People complaining about the 3.5h of LEGO Voyagers I wish you all a very happy fuck off please. Let's make more smaller games and kill that stupid concept of 100h pieces of garbage, thank you ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ™

I still hate the part where I need to get money to make games.

Oh no, please don't feel bad! I said that as a joke, but it actually looks and sounds pretty good! I felt scared but in a good way haha

We haven't and probably won't hear many of those stories very often. It's just nice.

What excites me the most about Silksong is the fact they were able to work on it all the time they wanted to, had fun in the process and now just want as many people as possible playing the game they loved to make (reasonable pricing, available on gamepass, and also free for kickstarter backers)

I'm about to finish Mike's "Good game, no rematch" book, and it's pretty wild how our childhoods seem to be SO similar. There was an offset of years in respect to how accessible tech was in Argentina compared to The States that probably made that possible... but still wild. It's a very fun read!!

Last couple of days, 60% OFF! I promise Arranger is unique in many ways and it's worth the shot! We made it with a lot of love and care, we tried some risky things and had a lot of fun working on it.

Cool kids say it's pretty cool! ๐Ÿ˜ณโœŒ๏ธ
