My first Barony run ended on floor 1 when I picked up a cursed necklace that nearly choked me to death before a rat bite delivered the final blow... I can see why people like this game.

Hi #indiedev, what’s up? On my side , I’m working on a massive pixel art title screen for my upcoming idle game Abracademia

We took adding "avatar customisation" a bit too literally.

Watching Her (2013) for the first time in 2026 is a surreal experience.

Hey @bladesonggame.bsky.social, I just want to say your writer is an unsung hero. I went in blind and did not expect a well written visual novel on top of my sword smithing sim.

#wishlistwednesday is all well and good but what about #witchlistwednesday where we highlight some fellow cozy magic game creators we have our crystal ball on, like
@stuckinattic.bsky.social's Hocus Focus or
@twoandahalfstudios.com's Willowmist Emporium. Any other devs we need to add?

Chrono Ark 🙂 although their answer was to make very few characters relevant to the overall narrative.

5 PC Games Which Crushed in 2025… That I Hadn’t Even Heard Of Tell me it’s not just me…

In 2026 I'm going to try and write less reviews in favour of variety content I find interesting. Here's the first piece 🙂 medium.com/@ThatOneAJ/5...

I like writing about games but glancing at Bluesky for 5 minutes and seeing all the ultra talented writers struggling is enough to make me forever avoid it as a career.

The readers, I get people want the job numbers to go up or articles to not look like an advertiser threw up on them but I struggle to see how the industry supports it in the current state. That or we all have to just move to short form videos I guess.

Finally beat the True Ending boss of Nine Sols. That adrenaline is going to carry me through the rest of the week.

For the record Jesse, he did just get you a sale 😀, saw this in my partner's activity feed.

It is VERY Hades X Dead Cells. So from that you can probably decide if it appeals.

These are also personal 10's to me, I'm going to hope there is at least one you haven't played.

I'm just going to need to take 5 mins to read over your top games post to see how much I value all these opinions 😉 (Joking of course, but I am reading your list)

Save 20% on Islets Defense on Steam Islets Defense is a turn-based tower defense game in which you build a small village to gather resources and defend your castle. Carefully plan your actions, as each move brings the enemy waves closer...

Turn based tower defense that finds it's inspiration from euro board gamed. It might not have a huge wow factor but it's very competent with a ton of heart. store.steampowered.com/app/3235170/...

Save 20% on Chroma Zero on Steam Explore a unique and connected world. Understand its fragile balance, uncover its deepest questions, and find more than just the answers.

Some cool suggestions already so I want to throw in my own for other people. Bit of a mind melter inspired by Outer Wilds where you learn to manipulate the world around you. store.steampowered.com/app/3121470/...
