Just giving an extra shout-out for Knuckle Jet. Great, gorgeous platformer with a hand-made aesthetic. Technically part of the Teslagrad/World to the West series, but perfectly fine as a standalone thing. Also has *multiple* SatAM/pop-punk songs about punching the rich and powerful in the face.

What's this? An off-the-wall, riveting jetpunk nose-breaking ricochet action platformer, lovingly crafted by the oddballs behind the Teslagrad series!

It is, by far, the least important question to be asking about this but the thing I'm really hung up on here is: what does it mean to "change your wallpaper [and icons] with elements from the audiobooks" those are visual things

btw, if you get a notification in mobile discord that says something like "do you want to share your age range from [whatever app store you use]" thats actually pretty safe. the app store uses data it already has and basically tells discord "yeah theyre 18+" and nothing else

Updating this while I sit by the phone waiting to hear back from a recruiter to see if they have anything yet, still. I feel like I'm losing what's left of my mind in search of something very basic that no longer exists. I always hate asking, but invoices are coming in too slow and too small. Still.

You should assume to a first approximation that basically every AAA game franchise with a sufficiently large cast has a dating sim pitch sitting around that the designers were perfectly serious about but got laughed off by someone higher up

Oh, shit, Knuckle Jet is out! The folks at Rain Games are great and I'm always super excited to check out their stuff, this one has been on my radar for a while and looks like a real fun level-based action platformer!

Yo. This is the union calling for a boycott. Here in America people like to say "Well I was already boycotting Starbucks!" No you were not. You were just choosing not to buy their stuff. That is not a boycott. A boycott is an organized, collective activity. "I" don't boycott: we do.

the thing about indie games is that if someone designs one single game I love, I’ll get whatever they make for the rest of their lives and pretty much always have a good time. people are so attached to ip but imo you really gotta know the creators.
