This is what gaming is all about

The old joke misses the point that money is made up and borrowed, it's a circle of life thing, but stupid and not real, that's why it stops working when billionaires get paid, an economy is not a measure of how much money is had, it's a measure of how much money moves, it's hoarded, no economy

The gift of staying in games long enough! 😆

The more classic films I watch the more references I can see in other films and by the time I am old I will be very knowledgeable and also completely insufferable

The thing about the artists/indie game designers passing around the same $10 joke is that sometimes you need the $10, the next time someone else will and you’ll have $10 to give.

In this way we uplift each other and get to keep making art.

It's a new year, and I am begging y'all to put captions on your streams. Don't know how? I got you.

Here's a thread of captioning options for your streams. With the exception of Meld that does not have a caption plug in (yet). These should work on other stream software.

Thank you!! I really liked this episode! 💜💜

Design Doc Come along with Hannah and Evan in a living documentation of the game design process, from the first spark of an idea, to every disastrous surprise. It’s not an instruction manual, but a travel guide,...

I think the latest episode of Design Doc from @hanbandit.bsky.social and @adrawnnovel.bsky.social at @turtlebun.com is a fantastic little lesson about game design.

What is an epiphany in game design, and how do you set yourself up for one?

Design Doc episode title "Design Doc episode 105: Resolutions New & Old." Image is an old-timey illustration of a woman in a dress opening a small fondue pot at a party.

New episode of Design Doc before 2025 is a wrap! We talk about New Year's resolutions and why they're pretty great, actually—one Skill, one Mastery, and three Experiences to round out every year. Thank you everyone for listening! We will see you in 2026.

A horror game i can never play.

The most excruciatingly painful lyric game / LARP of 2025

I do think the key for things like Home Alone, Muppet Christmas Carol, etc. is that the actors fully commit to the bit

I feel like similar films made now lean too heavily into doing it ironically

Your power bill has tripled and you can't afford new PC parts just to create this.

This game is really fucking good and you should play it!

Luna is hype! Get on this.

A roleplaying game where you have to close every one of your 200 open browser tabs one by one, gradually giving up parts of yourself until you are reborn as an egg.

I like petting my cat when he is staring out the window twitching his tail at birds. He purrs but also is angry. I say, “you are a hunter and also a baby. This is your cross to bear.”

PSA: Itch is running its Winter Sale, so go make your favorite creators' (and yours!) holiday season happier! 💞

I have all my games at 30% off (or all in a bundle for an insane 61% off)

I even made this high-budget, hand-crafted promo visual for you

HOMELESSNESS IS NOT A DRUG PROBLEM IT'S A HOUSING PROBLEM

I'm so sick of y'all in my mentions with this talking point, just stop.

PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD RENT. Half of renters are paying over 30% of their income on rent, another quarter are paying over 50%!!!

People need homes they can afford!

'I can't believe they turned Star Trek into a teen drama, it's gotten so far from what made it good, wah wah wah'

Meanwhile Star Trek in 1993:

A black and white juvenile cat lying on his side on a fuzzy blanket with a hand reaching out to pet him. His eyes have the tiniest bit of “ready to destroy” in them.

Can you believe this cat came from the trash? (I mean from this pic yeah kind of)

indie ttrpg twitter was wild. You used to be able to post things like "I wish there was a Baywatch Nights ttrpg" and then a week later there would be a Baywatch Nights game jam

Thank you Dana now I’m committed to finishing it haha.

I can think of no version of D&D I want to play as much as this, whatever it turns out to be.

If you missed Griot Anthology at Pax Unplugged, dont worry! We are working with @plusoneexp.bsky.social @sidequestbooks.bsky.social and @ipr.bsky.social to make physical copies available soon!

Here’s what I know:

* Guys in a dungeon
* Nasty little guys in a dungeon
* Which way you wanna go in this dungeon?
* Stats

It’s gonna be so good. 🥹

I’ve still never played D&D and I’m working on designing an OSR-style game based on vibes only and I’ve never been so excited to release something.
