sat down to read at breakfast and was delighted to discover that @despelote.game won Edge magazine’s narrative design of the year!! Hooray for despelote!

Ah, I'm sorry Emma. For whatever it's worth, Hindsight really *is* a beautiful expression of grief. I think about it often.

We've had a clutch of first-person narrative games since Firewatch, but there's still nothing quite like it IMO. Edith Finch was wonderful, of course, but its anthological approach gives it a very different feel.

Ten years ago today we shipped Firewatch. I say this every anniversary but it feels both like a lifetime ago and like it was yesterday. Thank you everyone who played it back then or played it today for the first time. Thank you to everyone on the team, I’m still so proud of what we made.

Ironic, as this was the magazine that referred to Pokémon as a "pestilential Ponzi scheme" in 1999, characterising its creator Satoshi Tajiri as a literal monster "His eyes are bloodshot; dark circles ripple beneath them... His monsters are a child's predelictions." He never gave another interview.

That BlueSky 'map' thing. I am situated very close to Video Game Industry Professionals, and not far away from BTS ARMY Fanfiction Community

I mean, sure.

Macbeth: SHIT

Happy birthday!! 🥳

Sensational. He's the reason we're still in this title race, really

Just the most stupid decision. Ruined an amazing moment

Yep. Though not sure it was a free-kick in the first place

An absolutely infuriating read

"I didn't care". He would if there were, you know, any kind of consequences for this. But seemingly no one cares about regulating any of this stuff, let alone punishing people for it.

Ah, amazing. Glad it got there eventually. Enjoy!

finally got @mrsambarlow.bsky.social and co’s lovely tome and goodies from the awesome folks @lostincult.co.uk

Argh, I'm so sorry. Hope it's only temporary and you're back soon

Man, he's so good

We've some Deluxe Editions and records, but they're dwindling fast! 🔗⬇️

There's exactly one normal man left on planet Earth.

Voting guilty purely because it's a superior pun

Most of Frida's argument makes sense, but this is baffling to me. Where are these strange paths and parks that you can apparently only discover if you're riding a bike? And anyway, I thought the speed was the point?

Hey, congrats! Takes real courage to step beyond your comfort zone and to achieve something on your first try is definitely worth celebrating

No Duskbloods in today's Nintendo Direct, but at least we still got a sign of life for it today, assuming it will release within a week of this.

ha ha ha, very good

International Cortisol Day

Ah, I think this is *firmly* Indie Square Enix. What would you do if they made a Dungeon Encounters 2?

Me: wow, this person is really bad at Resident Evil

A man of taste, I see
