It's about that time again..Steam Next Fest is once again upon us! I'll be doing some short streams most nights this week before our usual longer Demo Derby streams this weekend! 🔥

I'll be sure to update this thread throughout the week with my favorite #indiegame demos..get those wishlists ready! 👀

'I based horror video game on working in a Scottish chippy' Developer James Muirhead said his old job provided the perfect setting for his latest creation.

Drawn on black 8"x12" paper, 2018.

I think I drew this from a scene in the Force Awakens, right at the start. Which is a great film, don’t at me. ☺️

Photo of a large hardback book called "Arcade Decades" The cover is black with an image of arcade cabinets forming a street lit by their attract lights.

Inner cover of the book showing photos of various arcade game screens.

A random page, showing a colour photo of the arcade game "Phoenix" and a page of text relating to it.

Best and worst thing about backing a kickstarter is that you forget all about it when it inevitably falls behind schedule. So when it drops onto your doorstep you're briefly "Wtf?" Then remember and get a "free" surprise!

@nathithehumbleguy on threads: Ladies if you're always walking around with earphones or headphones on whether jogging or at the mall don't be surprised if no one approaches you. Most guys won't ask you to take them off just to start a conversation. Sometimes you might be blocking more than just the noise

he’s so close to getting it

Amazing DLC with insane amount of content with hugely different endings all of its own. And a Beautiful theme song 😊

Also we're getting a Universal theme park soon so 🤷‍♂️

What I liked about CachyOS was it all pretty much worked, and it had built in right-click>run Windows .EXE files, so portable apps worked straight off, and there's also WinBoat for installable apps, but I've barely played with it yet, having found most of the apps I need natively.

Dear Diary. It is now two weeks since I left Windows 11 behind, initially for Bazzite Linux.. but found it a little boring because everything worked, so I'm now on CachyOS and learning about pipewire, AUR, and other stuff and its glorious having something to tinker with that also just.. works. :)

4 panel image. Star Trek theme. First panel: An Exocomp from TNG/Lower Decks is sat next to two Starfleet officers. 2nd Panel: Riker looks unimpressed. 3rd panel: Close up of the exocomp and it's... Thermal induction port... 4th Panel: Riker looking... upbeat and intrigued...

Tracy Gilbert M.P. for Edinburgh North and Leith welcoming the vile racist who hounded a doctor out of her job with the NHS.

omg! Can you show me some photos of that book's pages? I think I might have had that as a kid! o_O

Have you seen what your government has proposed for trans youth?

Let me tell you, it’s not supportive

you announced the most extremist anti-lgbt+ school guidance in british history yesterday.

you are placing vulnerable chilred at risk of beatings, rape, murder, and alienation.

Once again trans rights are coming down to who is more likely to sue you; anti-trans activists with their billionaire sponsor or trans people who are sharing the same £20 note around in gofundmes

Extremely my kind of joke

This was an unnecessarily dour post for pre-9am, sorry!

Later reboot iterations being a series of horrible ways for Lara to die probably says something too about the post-gamergate era.

Facebook ad for the company RITUAL, and a pic of a high fashion leather jacket that has a very EVIL QUEEN vibe. NGL, I love it.

Facebook algo trying to persuade me to embrace dark necromancer fashion vibe. TBH, if it weren't like £1500, I might have considered!

It also won't even stop at trans kids. Kids with autism, kids with ADHD, any kids that don't fit to the model of obedient, passive children who conform to desired stereotypes, the British (and American) elite want to die. I mean, they ideally want us "fixed" by magical sweatshops, but dead works too

Shhh. It's day 4 of my having switched to a Linux distro, not having touched the Windows install during that time. One minor glitch when I decided to go all-in and backup the Windows install and move the linux install to the main NVME drive. Took opportunity to switch from CachyOS to Bazzite.

Can also happily recommend her series "Vatta's War" - Hard Sci-Fi, women-led family spacey drama. Again, the GraphicAudio books are amazing :)

"Serrano Legacy" by Elizabeth Moon. Graphic Audio do a set of really good audiobooks. Too good in this case.

It has a satisfying payoff, but yah, heavy tonal shift in that book.

I realise I'm a bit of a wuss, I just cant deal with some intense content in media. Also why I couldn't get through all of Orange is the new black, or Sense8. The content was good, just too intense for me. Impotent rage is what I feel, and that goes for the US, too.

I had a similar thing with a sci-fi book series I really enjoyed. About the 3rd book in we're introduced to a cult who abduct women to be breeders for the men through repeated artificial insemination. The women also have their vocal cords removed/destroyed. Absolute horror, skipped whole chapters.

I DNF'd The Handmaid's Tale, and the same with the TV show.. as it so intensely depressed and made me anxious. Watching the US now.. it feels the same.
