can confirm: playtopia rips

Here’s the truth: arts-focused games events obviously do still exist, but imo are way less common than ~12 years ago. Huge props to Playtopia for carrying the torch - genuinely as good as (or better than) any similar event in the Northern Hemisphere metropole. Super enjoying my time here.

If you're trying to ditch NYT Games, which you should be since their games singlehandedly prop up the entire dogshit rag financially, you should switch to Puzzmo. An annual sub is 50% off today for a crazy $19 and as a bonus doesn't enable the genocides of Palestinians and trans people

Check out the spoiler-laden conclusion, where we ask the devs all the deep questions about the ending of this truly epic game. A huge thank you to everyone present for this chat. <3 Join us for this (nearly) 4 hour hour long finale episode!

Here's a long Thanksgiving listen if you wanna go ultra deep on the Caves of Qud endgame. The hosts & Brian/Caelyn are so insightful as always, but I'm also thankful they let me rattle on re: the teeming melange that went into the ending. This was the post-release exhale I needed. Hope you enjoy!

One of my fav podcast episodes we’ve ever done.

I believe this is the first time the team has publicly spoken in such depth about the Qud ending.

Big thanks to @ectafoole.bsky.social @jfg.land @unormal.bsky.social for their time, and for making one of my fav games ever.
