Death is Normal - Film and Storytelling | Seed&Spark How would your life change if you knew EXACTLY when you were going to die? Would finally YOLO? Or at least look up what that means? Theses life-altering questions are personified by our main characters in Death is Normal as we watch them grapple and make decisions in this reality-bending world.

Do you like watching TV? Do you wonder what you're doing with your life, really? Channel those feelings of instability into cold hard cash, and support my friend Brendan's new tv show through its final edit!

Got the Greyhound bus back to NYC from #PAXEast in Boston. A 20-something guy and girl ended up sitting next to each other and struck up a convo about how they'd both been to PAX (their first!) and chatted the entire way home, 4 hours straight. Games bring people together, and I love it.

CYBRLICH and the Death Cult of Labor on Steam An adrenaline fueled FPS/boomer shooter about a buff barbarian hacker taking down an evil undead corporate overlord

Absolutely loved the art direction of Cyberlich. The visuals really stand out in the PAX Rising showcase: store.steampowered.com/app/3336070/...

The Big Catch on Steam A 3D platformer all about tight expressive movement, and catching some fish, too.

Given how excited I get about *any* fishing mini game within a game, Big Catch earned an immediate spot on my wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/2146290/...

A banner promotes a game called Desktop Survivors 98. It uses the aesthetic sensibilities of windows 98, and appears to feature the helper character Clippy redesigned as a sword.

Did not get to demo this game but it looks hilarious.

I get to play a cat *and* an administrative professional? Say less.

A poster promoting the game Nekomancer. It covers key aspects of the game, citing magic, ghosts, spells, portals, and mystery among the subject matter. You play a magical cat with a penchant for necromancy, using magic to help those in need!

For anyone planning a booth - Nekomancer did a great job of communicating their game's selling points without having to say a word!

Another First Look game, Krakel Orakel! You have to trace the lines on your mat to draw a prompt. Your opponent draws a different prompt, then you mix in some non player prompts and guess what you were trying to draw. All of mine ended up looking a bit phallic. Hnsure what that means. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Character and action cards from a game called Tag Team are laid out on a tabletop.

Here's some cool stuff I've seen at #PAXEast so far:

Tag Team, an auto-battler with a mechanic where you can only add to your deck between rounds, not re-order it. Added a cool memory strategy element trying (and in my case, failing) to disrupt my opponent's moves! Find it in First Look!

This was such an impactful 90 minutes. There were actual tears. Had to spend the rest of Sunday recovering but it was well worth it!

Thank you @fkth.bsky.social, @jemalexander.bsky.social, and @chriswilsonart.bsky.social for braving our collective teenage angst with me!

This was so good! 🀩 I had an amazing time with Fiona, @chriswilsonart.bsky.social and @clairepurcell.bsky.social. Was not prepared for how intense this experience was going to be. A+++ would miss Alice again.

Costs are slightly down thanks to the combination of the English and new Italian edition.

Rather than pocket the difference, I thought y'all would like a price reduction.
