'Tis the season! You should play my (free) sinister shopkeep game that's like if Weapon Shop de Omasse was EVIL!! (I'm very proud of this game and it was very fun to do something horror-themed for the first time!) marlowedobbe.itch.io/gratis

People are arguing whether or not it’s ok to skip parts of a game series because “they’re not important.” I’m baffled. Why would you skip chapters in a book to get to the end

I can’t give complaints about BOTW and TOTK being too open ended much credence because I remember how much people were complaining how samey Zelda had become and how much it needed to innovate. I was there. You can’t tell me otherwise

Very cool article! A lot of folks enjoyed PIGCON Plaza, and it's obvious we had a ton of fun working on it 😍

"That's PIGCon Plaza. A volunteer crew from PIGSquad, Portland's long-running game-dev community, built it for the first-ever PIGCon earlier this year. Over two days, about 1,300 people came through the doors and roughly 450 of them drew one."

PIGCON vibes were immaculate. It felt like we were all just hanging out at a friend's house playing video games and talking. The showcase was fantastic, I spent too much money at artist alley. The LIVE T SHIRT PRINTING. The talks!! The music performances blew my socks off. Special stuff!
