Been playing Lego Voyagers as a family, it’s very special and one of the best Lego games out there. 2 player co-op only, it’s delightful, playful, puzzle platformer with building a core part of the game. Well done Light Brick Studio www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V6m...

I interviewed Ojiro Fumoto about POINPY!! and got great insights like: - Why he made it free (so kids who are used to Fortnite and Roblox would try it. Also, the Netflix money was good enough) - His favourite fruit (strawberries) - The game he wishes he made (Cinco Paus by @smestorp.bsky.social)

Poinpy's Revival Is Free, Because of the Kids

"On her side, nothing changed" yep this is exactly the problem I have, many times the parental controls or real-time changes just don't work. Also re Family Link, you might not have noticed but the Amazon Parents app has just had a revamp too

newsletters are rarely talked about in games marketing. here’s why i value them so much: - i ‘own’ my audience, instead of serving the audience of another platform (steam, discord, app stores, etc). - can be extremely effective. my last email to 5k subs had a 83% open / 35% click rate. (1/3)

GARBAGE COUNTRY has a publisher! Making a game is.. intense.. (a big game even more so.) For years you just work and the doubts and anxieties can really creep up on you.. it's so great to have someone in your corner 🥰

as dashcam might be tricky on a rental then. sickbags in the back are handy if your kids aren't used to it for emergencies. also always keep a box of snack and handgel in the car, a bottle of suncream, packs of tissues.

Chris O'Shea @chrisoshea.org · 30/04/2026

Tint the back windows, keeps the kids way more cool on hot days. Speaking as someone who has been in a small accident where the other party is disputing fault, a dashcam is a good idea. Roadside assistance rca/aa etc feels like a waste until you need it,we've been saved a couple times over the years
