Save 10% on CARIMARA: Beneath the forlorn limbs on Steam A mute little thing with borrowed magic. A house that murmurs back. Ask wrong, and you might wake something that remembers your name.

Hey folks, I've just added Carimara: Beneath The Forlorn Limbs to my curator page, and if you missed my stream tonight, my goodness this was a delightful little game! It is what I can only describe as a whimsical folk horror detective game, check this one out.

Boxing – August 1980, Atari Archive After exiting Atari upon the completion of Video Chess and participating in the risky venture of starting up the novel idea of a third-party video game...

The blog continues its updates, as Bob Whitehead's Boxing gets its time in the spotlight. Unassuming but a blast to play, particularly if you're using the original joysticks and want to experience actual exhaustion in your boxing match. www.atariarchive.org/blog/boxing-...

Graphic with Senator Warren asking: Is it consistent with the First Amendment for DOD to revoke a reporter’s press credentials for publishing a story that’s critical of President Trump?

DoD official responds:  Yes... If the basis was that the person published information that was not otherwise approved for release by the Department.

Senator Warren Responds: Whoa.

Trump’s nominee to be the Army’s lawyer is confused about the First Amendment.

Independent journalists must be free to report the facts without fear of retaliation.

If we're sending troops to war under false pretenses, Americans have a right to know.

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

I remember reviewing this for Hardcore Gamer and I loved it. Wrote about it in the article, but I’m hopeful it’s DLC or a Switch port. The more Metaphor the better in my opinion! Will definitely be watching!

This game has the most Game Boy Advance/DS vibes I’ve seen in a while, which means I slipped into it like a warm bath. Not a bad option if you remember the days of Infinite Space and Trauma Center with a certain fondness πŸ˜…

β€œTwo years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”
