It's an all #indiegame episode going up today, from the wilds of #itchio! I played games from Thalia, @m3fedron.bsky.social , @justcore.bsky.social , and @alexkorep.bsky.social . I enjoyed all of them in different ways and to different degrees. #itchiogames #indiegames youtu.be/yKcxqZI2I8M?...

I finished Silent Hill 3! And I only had to watch the unskippable 7-minute cutscene three times to do it! (Don't worry, I edited out two for the video.) I was definitely NOT expecting what Claudia did. I don't understand the #SilentHill star scoring, but think I did OK. youtu.be/i5ZCgM5NWAw?...

For the second time in the game, I die multiple times in a row, because gottamn #tankcontrols are designed to trip up bad gamers like me, it seems. All the sharp turns and camera moves in the haunted mansion have me stymied for a bit, but my stubbornness wins out. #gaming youtu.be/1MXBoxv0gQ0?...

Got tired of waiting for that 500th subscriber, so I'm dropping my bonus episode early. Organization games are big right now, many with gen AI. #Octbuster has procedurally generated titles, and it has seeds to randomize the initial mess. And there's a kitten upgrade! #gaming youtu.be/DU6jFuDumpQ?...

Some asshat who's seen Black Christmas too many times tries to freak me out with the least happy birthday call I've ever heard. I'm guessing Vincent, since only one of the male voices in this game has a weird high tenor. We also tackle the "Cock Robin" puzzle. #SilentHill3 youtu.be/rxpyI2K-7FE?...

Welcome to episode 5, the subway station, in which I die so many goddamn times that the game asks if I'd rather play on the secret extra-easy mode. It was for science! Mostly. The other times were because I'm bad at tank controls. #silenthill #videogame #retrogaming youtu.be/4yI2eJ7Wi80?...

I've started playing #SilentHill3 for the first time. I thought I'd picked up some weird variant of the game, but the opening is what it's supposed to be. The tank controls, as usual, are the biggest nightmare of all. Having a good time with it so far! #silenthill #gaming youtu.be/4FlLgj1rUEQ?...

Delightful. I came across the Pigeon West #indiegames /visual novels on #itchio, made by developer #BlueHarpy, i.e., #SquidSquadPapi. These loving send-ups of Westerns (starring birds) are minimally, awkwardly, and hilariously animated, and I had a ball reading them aloud. youtu.be/RT5dwO88gh4?...
