There were some amazing #indie music games at #gamescom! Legends of Rock by @arikgames.bsky.social, @mrrecords.bsky.social through @wiredproductions.com and of course chatting with @curvegames.com about @waxheadsgame.bsky.social. The icing on the cake was a busking concert with these legends.

LongStory has the best fake video games of any visual novel. Also the best kissing-while-gaming. #videogameday #indiegames #visualnovel #dontkissduringcoop

The only thing I know about the Glad Lads is that they released an album and I think (reaching deep into the season 1 archives here) that it was called Fight to Dream? I am going to see if I can find any weird old art. (OH IT'S VERY BAD ART sowwwy.) #longstory2 #archives

Happy 5th Birthday to Later Daters!! It’s been a wild 5 years since the game launched on Steam and Switch, Xbox and IOS. I know the folks at Ye OLDE (Oceanview living domicile for the Elderyly) would say take some time to appreciate how far Bloom has come. Here's to whatever comes next!

Today is #nationalbreakupday what's your favorite breakup and why? Ours is the time Turkeyhawk wrote a personal essay demonstrating excellent boundaries. (💔 our hearts in the process.)

Dear Meadow Bird:

I wanted to say a proper goodbye. I was worried that my parting words to you may have seemed harsh. At this time in my personal journey, it is simply important that I stand up for myself, and trust my own feelings above all else.

Truth be known, I very much enjoyed our time together and I will treasure the memories always. It simply seems clear to me that our paths came together for a time, and now must diverge.

I wish you every happiness and adventure, and I sense you wish me the same. I hope after some time we might be friends again... Or perhaps the space between our paths will widen still more and we will find ourselves independent and free forever improved by our time together.

Good luck, whatever the future may hold.

It's another cold day in Canada! It might be a bit *uncomfortable* being outside for too long, so why not enjoy some inside time playing all the games from the holidays? And add some bagels while at it? It’s National Bagel Day! We at Bloom we love food with B: bagels, burgers, bizza, bice cream!
