Sometimes we ask @jkooza.bsky.social & @allymobbs.bsky.social to do level testing. Somehow they always get stuck fighting ⚔️

Taking a 15 minute nap recharges me faster than going to get a coffee.

The Emperor of Japan literally rolled right past us today, waving at us as he cruised by. #ThugLyfeJapan

Oh man I had this book and looked at it allll the time

Odaiba Boy is a new book written by Yohsuke Tamori, the author of PopoloCrois series released in 2023.

Set around 1960, showa era. The main character, Isao, a boy who attends Daiba Elementary School and his parents own a watch store, explores the downtown area as his curiosity takes him.

I'm convinced dungeon crawlers have always needed skiing physics after Awaysis' newest trailer Somewhere between classic Zelda and Human Fall Flat, you'll find self-billed "dungeon brawler" Awaysis.

Great mention from @pcgamer.com

"I was impressed when I saw Awaysis' physics-based slide jumps and enemy-propelling magic projectiles, but I was elated when I saw one player seemingly brush their co-op partner off a ledge and into an endless abyss by accident."

We call it co-opertition. #indiedev

Ooo yeah their beef stew is amazing!! Been there quite a few times! This place is a simple looking curry shop that should honestly have a Michelin star. maps.app.goo.gl/vwWE1mpHA8bG...

I think I just had the best meal of my life. I don’t know what to do. I’m considering quitting my job to write haiku about this meal by the river to start. Inoue Shouten is the best restaurant in the city.

We literally got our first family computer when I was 13

does anyone know if there are any sites still looking for a reviewer for demonschool? boosts would be appreciated! 💜

@84play.bsky.social pre-TGS party is a major highlight of every TGS, and has been for over 20(!!) years! This year was longer than ever and had insane live sets from LEGENDS Chip Tanaka (also doing music for our latest game AWAYSIS) and Yuzo Koshiro!!

The long ride to Makuhari Messe for Tokyo Game Show at the buttcrack of dawn is an age old tradition with my long time partner-in-crime @johntv.bsky.social

Hello Tokyo!! Ready for Tokyo Game Show!!

WORNING:

Less than a month left of the Expo in Osaka so I thought I’d give these another push. A highlight of this year for me.

Had a delightful catch up with @reidman.bsky.social alongside @jkooza.bsky.social & gang on Friday 😊

Always a top honor to be featured in the games industry’s finest journal, EDGE!!
