Can’t believe that worked

How do we un-invent email

Next Fest is finally over and we can now look over the horizon into a new year full of two more Next Fests.

The whole gang is back talking about *63* of the demos that they played over the last week! Help!!!

Listen here! - share.transistor.fm/s/f8219142

Welcome to dotzip a big show about small demos

if a single minor event occurs in my life and I don't immediately text my best friend about it, did it really happen?

oh you like frog of the week? name all 200 frogs

Very proud of 200 frogs 🥲 thank you @ajfillari.bsky.social and @cloubstrife.bsky.social for making this show with me

I cannot hold the date of any upcoming steam nextfest in my mind. I read the date, I put it in my calendar, and it still takes me by surprise every time

every steam nextfest feels like it's happening 72 hours after the last steam nextfest

in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes, and steam nextfest

Yeah idk how that happened! Guess I’ll have to play again to see what I missed (twist my arm)!

SWH is great! It’s totally different but the fluid movement and music really give a similar joyful feeling and flow state

a HUGE mihi to AJ and Kim for this incredible deep dive into Toroa: Skycall, so, so special and surreal to hear people talking about our art halfway across the world and just completely *getting* it 🥹

also new favourite quote to describe the game "birds are on some shit that we can't even fathom"

Thank you for making this game! We loved it!

I’ve returned from my long journey across the sea to bring you podcasts

browsing sewing patterns instead of watching the super bowl because I'm insufferable

Hello, I am out of the office until February 12. During this time I will enter a cocoon wherein digestive enzymes will turn me into a nutrient rich goo and my body will reassemble in a new form. I will have limited access to email, but will respond to your message as soon as possible upon my return.

You jest but this is on my list! I intentionally put it off because otherwise it would have been a productivity killer

You aether boys and your little jokes

very help ful thank you

Or other games I guess

I’m about to be free from work hell as of this weekend. Please send me recs for video games that came out in the last 3 months

Frog of the Week is a passion project but I am working a full time job and getting a master’s degree part time. I’ve had to take a short break this month due to other commitments. It’s either this or no episodes at all. Stop being rude.

Not a week goes by where I don't think about 1000xRESIST.

One of my faves is Steamed Rainbow from DS & Durga. Imagine laying next to a waterfall in a jungle while someone feeds you fresh fruit—it smells like that

Video games do not cause violence. But we as an industry are clearly not ready to have a conversation about how we've normalized a military fantasy

It’s really pathetic, all these small men trying to impress each other

Support Girl Mode Support Girl Mode

Is now a good time to remind people that Girl Mode is made by two unemployed trans game journalists who prioritize meaningful criticism and shining a lot on indie games? Oh and you can support us!

there is a secret sauce that makes male video game characters irresistible to women (regardless of sexuality) and it is called “making them a little pathetic”

Pleased as punch to be here 🙂
