Honestly, it's so much fun: 75 simultaneous puzzles to sort, navigate, and assemble! 😍 I've finished it now, but I'm itching to give it another go some day!

This looks awesome! It's the exact chess app I want: just replicate a physical chess board, with the rules of chess applied, and let me play a local two-player game! Even lichess is overkill when you just want the simplest local two-player. Are you aware of anything similar for other platforms?

Yesterday I added cursors to the game for people that don't want others to touch their Steam Deck screen... So I thought: Why not 2 controller support?! Mini Chess now also supports the Steam Machine: store.steampowered.com/app/5311410/... #steammachine #steamdeck #indiegame #indiedev #solodev

As Order of the Sinking Star is coming out next month, in advance of review coverage coming in I wanted to add one thing to my last statement about the game: bsky.app/profile/drak... (note: at that time I didn’t have a separate personal account)

The councillor who chairs Piddington Parish Council, near Bicester, says that yesterday’s stunt referendum – in which the village voted to leave the UK in protest against an asylum centre – was “an example of democracy in operation”. Tim McNally himself gained his role without a contested election.

The Pokémon book I backed from @nintymedia.bsky.social arrived yesterday. It's glorious!
The item is the Pokébook Unofficial Companion Gen I, shown here laid out on a carpet alongside its accompanying book, a large poster filled with Pokémon characters, a green starter Pokémon bookmark, a Poké Ball enamel pin, and a yellow "Thank You!" note from Ninty Media.

This sokoban-nonogram hybrid exceeded Joe's expecations!

They put block-pushing in my Picross puzzles! (Sokogram)
I expected a cool little fusion of games from Sokogram, but I did not expect the puzzles to be so nicely designed. The game combines nonograms (also known by the Nintendo trademark Picross) with sokoban puzzles - first you solve the nonogram, placing land and water, and then you have to solve a soko

5) Wilmot Works It Out 🧩 I adored this. Just a simple puzzle (as in jigsaw) game featuring the lovable square character. It shakes things up with very small puzzles, tiles all the same shape, and no preview images. But it's the post-game marathon mode that's really pulled me in for much, much more!

I only queued up to see how much Ravenous was to preorder. Now I'm 'in', I'm not so sure I need to shell out quite yet. Kinda feeling guilty about taking up space in the 'store', though...

I think the underlying point is that when you buy a copy of a game (film, album, written work) you should be entitled to continue enjoying that game indefinitely, without the threat of someone taking your access away. What alternative makes more sense?

Mario Kart 8 now has an eight-player mode, so by the law of extrapolation, Mario Kart World will one day have a mode letting you play everyone else in the world simultaneously.

I'm not done with this bullshit. Suggesting when we buy games, digital or otherwise, we don't own them is RIDICULOUS. Every single game I've ever bought before digital was the norm? IS. MINE. Of course it's "reasonable". It's ALWAYS been the expectation because it was this way for DECADES.

Every time somebody suggests taxing the super rich, newspapers and TV pundits claim it’ll just drive rich people away. On the rare occasion those taxes are applied (like removing non dom status), the research generally shows the number of people leaving for tax reasons are negligible.
