This game is SO good actually. Really really enjoyed my first playthrough and have been meaning to do a second.

Fake news and podcast drama led to one of 2026's first great games What started as a library card mystery ended up being Inkle's best game launch yet

Screenshot of Duskpunk: a picture of Nasrin, a woman wearing a hijab and the uniform of the factory workers. Nasrin reminds Henry that regular people are strong together. Henry mentions rumours of community projects like field hospitals and community kitchens, and having their own community at the factory. Nasrin replies that the city is different now, and that they must find and support people working together. 
The game gives the player/MC a new aim to consider: "to investigate communal projects". Nasrin says: "See you on the other side."

Screenshot of Duskpunk: a picture of Markov, a dark-skinned man with curly white hair and a full beard in formerly elegant clothes, from the Revolutionaries faction. 
Zai and Markov discuss that "prying one bastard off the throne just to pop another on instead" won't be enough and that they also need to do something about "that zoo they call a parliament", consisting of "bankers or aristos or shareholders".

Not my usual "cozy" stuff, but this might be as good a time as any to play @jamespatton.bsky.social's Duskpunk.

Good thread, but:

"here's the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich"

That does not amaze me at all. That is called capitalism.

That's great, I always think the research and gathering references is a really fun part. Which places did you go? I'm guessing Bletchley Park is in there?

If you liked Her Story or games where you dig through a weird old archive, it'll blow your damn mind.

The 15 best games to play on the Nintendo Switch in 2026 From the greatest cartoon racing game in history to a remastered version of an Alien-inspired sci-fi shooter, here are the Switchโ€™s must-play games

Expelled! is one of the @theguardian.com top 15 switch games to play this year. Or now. You could also play it, right now. (and itโ€™s on sale on steam for another few hours)

Do these people really think the problem with the US is that there hasn't been enough "reasonable debate"? That people simply need to be more polite?

The ruling class perform politeness while denying millions healthcare and deporting the vulnerable. It's a scam.

This is totally out of touch. The slogan "Fuck ice!" appropriately expresses the anger and outrage of everyday people.

Resistance and change happen when people are engaged, focused, and unified. Anger is a part of that process.

If you feel this way, you should get organized politically (ie. Join a political group) and go to some protests to show the ruling class how outraged you are.

You don't need to give up hobbies to make a difference!
