@untitledgamesevent.bsky.social is... I'm sorry, but it's just wonderful. I went into the weekend feeling tired and overstretched, and came out feeling like, actually energized. What?? So many great games, so many great talks, such a great venue, and the best people. I will be back!

Really liked this. Great work @harlequindiver.bsky.social! An EXCELLENT showcase of the idiosyncrasies of the Decker engine. I believe this might be the first commercial Decker game on Steam? Love games like this that take thoughtful, personal, "seamful" design choices. Highly recommended.

Sad to report that the European Sleeper train was pretty horrendous despite some lovely conversations with co-passengers and this view from the back. The sleeping coaches creak and groan and screech, all the toilets (!) flooded, and travel info was scarce and poor. Can't see myself taking this again
