After all, why shouldn't I live the @eizebasa.baby lifestyle

You wouldn't kickflip a train!
Densattack! is an incredibly slick rail-grinder score attack. I don't broadly have much interest in chasing high scores or trick variety, but it does have an excellent sense of spectacle keeping the action fresh.

A 2D side-scroller of a space-ship moving like flappy bird through a tunnel with obstacles and red gems scattered across it.

Veinrider is a Flappy Bird Roguelite which feels inevitable but also primally compelling. Fairly basic in presentation but does very quickly start escalating and approaching the satisfaction of Steam World Dig in collecting gems and very quickly feeding those into pushing further each run.

Just set mine up and 5 minutes in there's no going back.

How's Emberleaf? Just picked up a copy today 👀

Just me and the kid today, so a couple of birthday weekend treats, making the most of the beautiful day reading in the park, and wrapping with Castle in the Sky

OMG. That's just hype laundering lol

Esc or Alt+F4 on B seems appropriate

And you know, you can extend from this to a real important corallary to "Everyone is 12 Now" theory is "There has been a generation-long project to keep people 12."

Conservative news and opinon outlets, regressive mass audience entertainment products, etc. all propagandize a chilidish worldview.

What are you binding to these bad boys?

It got those good clicky clacks

Wife and I don't often do gifts but we're trying to make more of a family tradition and make up for unemployment frugality. Here's my birthday treats.

are you in #vancouver (BC) and want to get some cybergaming on, pvnk?

starting March 11, i am running a short campaign using the CY_BORG ruleset and as many characters as we can burn through, hosted by @raincity.games. Can you free yourself from debt before reality resets?

You might be on to something...

A bowl of chashu should ramen with Naruto and egg

Birthday ramen is best ramen

I've not used one before either but it has great ASMR like a type writer.

What are you binding to these bad boys?

Two large red buttons resembling an NES controller with a hand slamming down on one like the meme

The keyboard comes with these giant-ass buttons so now every time I take a screenshot gonna be like

I'd requested a couple of these things that had already been purchased, so definitely in sync 🥰

Gecqua, the new water starter pokemon, a blue lizard with sultry eyes.

Oh that lizard is definitely evolving sexy.

The Pokémon Center’s Game Boy Jukebox Hits All the Right Notes Game Boy Jukebox features 45 cartridges bumping classics like “Pallet Town Theme.”

Finally catching up on the Pokemon Presents and surprised I've not seen any mention of this jukebox. Mark has been exploring the world of dedicated audio devices and highlighting various discoveries on the podcast lately so this is an extremely targeted niche.

Thanks Amanda!

Pokemon Winds and Waves aren't coming until 2027, which is disappointing to me. But you know what's never disappointing? @boardgamefeast.bsky.social's birthday!

Happy birthday Daniel, hope you have a good one!

A screenshot of an email from an ad agency to Evil Hat Marketing: Hey Evil Hat team, Promised this is the last time you’ll hear from me. We are wrapping up generating content on the house. The AI studio is starting to get fully booked with our paying clients, and I have strict orders to stop promoting this come the weekend. I figured Evil Hat might as well get some work out of us at no cost while you can. Want in before we close it up? Best, [redacted] And then our reply: Hi [redacted], We will never use AI for our games or for our marketing. It's toxic to our customer audience and it's an ethical violation of the hard work put in by the human artists we hire to illustrate our books and the human writers who design our games. In short, it's not "free work" it's theft. Feel free to take me off your mailing list. Hope you turn around your business model because frankly, your current approach sucks shit. -Tom

sometimes you have to be clear about your values

Isometric perspective of a square grid, a large square base in the middle with various human units standing on the perimeter, and several cockroaches approaching from the outer edges

Top down perspective of a train travelling along a track in the dessert and surrounded by swarms of bugs.

Australia Did It is a bonzer take on Snowpiercer meets Starship Troopers. It balances 2 modes of tower defense, an Into the Breach style turn based puzzle and a real-time simulation. Some of the information layers could be better surfaced, but I'm thankful for an actual undo button, you beauty!

It's definitely very floaty in way that feels like manipulating a puppet, there's a fine line to that kind of indirect control being novel and just frustrating, especially with the chaos of 4 players.

A side-scroller perspective of a pixelated high-end bar. Player character of a traditional scruffy white male PI stands in the middle. A woman is pole dancing with a snake in the background

A teen girl with blue hair is standing in an empty alleyway with graffiti on the walls

The male adult protagonist is carrying the teen girl protagonist away over his shoulder away from a gang that were threatening her Blue "No, wait! This isn't over! We'll meet again, you hear me?!"

A Study in Blue seems a solid noir mystery point and click adventure. Bouncing between 2 characters provides some clever contrast of perspective. But spotted a bunch of translation issues and I'm wary of some of the power dynamics with the teen girl protagonist.

Endeavor: Deep Sea is a surprisingly bitey and interactive euro game in the age of heads down personal play spaces. And that's just the beginning of what makes it interesting.
