Particularly fond of your microphones
I want to introduce you all to something myself and @jacksonwryan.com have been working on.
A PRINT MAGAZINE about video games and video game culture.
We know things have been bad for games writing recently. We're asking, "do you want to Continue?"

Can't recommend this podcast episode enough: Keza MacDonald is a living gaming encyclopedia and an inspirational person and journalist. Another great interview by Simon Parkin!
Yeaah awesome you had Keza on, can't wait to listen to this episode!
A book from the 19th century that depicts the Rhine Valley by creating an impression of three-dimensionality and spatial distance.

De gamejournalistiek dreigde uit Nederland te verdwijnen Daarom zijn we vandaag met Unpause begonnen.
Een gamesite die van onszelf is, zonder uitgever. Ons verdienmodel is simpel: onze lezers kunnen abonneren.
Kom lezen, en steun als je wil en kan!

we live in the ruins of a greater civilization
Congratulations!
I've noticed! It's such a fascinating game. I also interviewed Bennett Foddy btw, before the release of Baby Steps, for the (Dutch) newspaper I work at, de Volkskrant. I can DM you a translation of that article, if you'd like!
I love, love, love this interview about Baby Steps with Gabe Cuzzillo and Bennett Foddy by @mackeza.bsky.social! Super well-written, funny and insightful.

Thanks! But now I can't not ask... what's your list of morning puzzles?
Yo... wat? Dit is insane! Congrats nog!!
De games van @sokpop.co zijn fantastisch, stuk voor stuk. Die maken ze al tien jaar, reden voor een profiel in de Volkskrant. Als gamestudio is Sokpop bijzonder: door samen onvermoeibaar games te maken en de winst delen, ontwikkelden de vier hun eigen stijl en stem.

No thank YOU! Have been reading your and Keza's articles for a while now, they're a big inspiration for my own games journalism at de Volkskrant here in the Netherlands!
Really cool list, some unique items on there we don't see too much in other end-of-the-year lists!
Just one small thing: for Grunn, the studio is 'Sokpop Collective' with an e at the end. Not trying to be pedantic, really love you included it on the list! <3
I'm so happy other people are happy and surprised to see viva pinata on this list. What a game. My brothers and I still 'quote' the hum of gaming icon Buzzlegum.
That's great! I'm looking forward to listening!
Using the amazing engine #Pico-8, I've made my first ever tiny little games! They're nothing special, but I wanted to share them nonetheless. I imagined them as catridges for the Atari 2600, my favourite console of all time.

Nam me laatst voor meer Nederlandse games te schrijven. Gelijk raak met News Tower, een nieuwe (debuut)game van Sparrow Night. Een game over journalistiek, dat móést ik wel leuk gaan vinden. Top gedaan door deze Rotterdammers!

Het kabinet schroeft de vrijwillige bijdrage van Nederland aan de Europese ruimtevaart terug met 25 procent. De sector is bang dat delen van Estec, het prestigieuze technologiecentrum, uit Noordwijk zullen vertrekken. '‘Dit is heel slecht gevallen bij ESA.'
Bericht voor @volkskrant.nl:
Respect voor deze vrouw, een van de eerste competitieve gamers ooit, die 45 jaar geleden het National Atari 2600 Space Invaders Championship won.
Voor wie Netflix heeft: Heinemans toernooi wordt heel mooi uitgelicht in de docu High Score (sowieso een aanrader!).
You're a legend!
Yeah, gamer here: the flood is the overpowering, parasitic enemy from Halo (amazing, revolutionary series). In one of the games, the human faction and their alien enemy, the Covenant, join forces to beat the flood invasion.
Ice is abusing pop-culture, remember the 'gotta catch em all'-propaganda.
Silksong is één van de beste games ooit. Vind ik.

Shadow of the Colossus is komende zaterdag 20 jaar oud! Om dat te vieren speelde ik het spel (voor het eerst, trouwens), en schreef er een stukje over in de Volkskrant. Bizar goed spel, je voelt de invloeden op het hele open world-genre meteen.

This looks dope as hell, I'll be sure to keep an eye!
I've been having so much fun with this game for a couple weeks now, just playing for a few minutes here or there. It's super tough, but really well made! Looking forward to other stuff you put out.
With almost laughably low power, a monochrome screen, and unique controls, niche-micro console Playdate shouldn't make any sense in a world of modern gaming. Yet, it's near impossible not to love it. www.wired.com/story/three-...
Just discovered the groundhumping (spamming the shoulderbuttons when face-down on the ground), can't stop, peak gameplay
