Kitbashed a Dire Avenger Exarch for a Kill Team because I didn't want to buy a whole box of toy soldiers for one particular toy soldier. It's close enough!

While you're waiting on Cassette Beasts 2002, why not treat yourself (or a friend) to the OG? Cassette Beasts is now 70% off in the Steam Autumn Sale (and there's discounted DLC too!) Get the kettle on, you've got some creature collecting to do.

Really funny how phones now have automated robot answering machines to answer suspected robot spam calls. No human intervention required. Phones now existing as robot PvP devices completely divorced from benefitting society in any way. It rules.

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

video games as a whole make hundreds of billions of dollars a year and apparently somehow nobody can make any money on them or pay anyone to make them

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is a game that asks, "what if you got to compete in the Olympics and hang out in the Olympic village, but also Alucard was there?"

It is my privilege to share Katya's (@katyar.bsky.social) last Gamescom preview for Pixel Byte of Cassette Beasts 2002! It was a delight to have her cover what is shaping up to be a better sequel in every respect.

Here's a look at the revamped party menu in Cassette Beasts 2002! We’ve been doing a whole lot of overhauling on all aspects of the UI to improve usability, flow and all that good stuff. What do you think? #godot

Beast Spotlight #4: Reapurr Element: Beast Reapurrs exist as a naturally occurring population control in Nodnol, culling beast numbers when they grow too large. In their immature states, they aren’t able to harvest most souls - only miniscule beasts, or perhaps large vegetables.

It's a lot to explain to non-game industry savvy friends & family why there's suddenly enormous layoffs in an industry that makes so much money, but a succinct summary is, "if an industry makes a lot of money, there's even *more* money to be made by coming in from the outside and dismantling it"
