@furnimatgames.bsky.social's Arranger is the kind of game that makes me wanna write an essay about why play and joy (and thus games) are so important.

Once the night lotion has been applied, the face is sealed. No new business. For the face

Hmm I have no memory of this. I think it's a deepfake.

I (terribly) named this (amazing) bundle so the least you can do is buy it

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee. You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

Having worked in some capacity on three of these games, I’m compelled to agree

This bundle is almost all absolute bangers (especialyl Arco, Despelote and Keylocker) and the worst it goes down to is 'very good'.

Huge range of genres, too.

A reminder that our weekly re-airing of A Year of UFO 50 has begun, and there's still time to hop aboard before Barbuta this Friday!

I feel confident saying that this is the most comprehensive, star-studded book club ever. Play along!

oh man this @eggplantshow.bsky.social Year of UFO 50 finale live episode (which I am obviously not listening to live) is so good. what an ambitious, fascinating, and now triumphantly completed project. I can't think of a better way to approach a piece of art like UFO 50.

Blippo+ is a video game that reproduces the joy of the opening minutes of Metal Gear Solid 4 without actually having to play anything after. this is a game i am deeply appreciative of

Still the coolest thing I'll ever work on, now in COLOR!
