Trek And Conn, it's the Star Trek mod for #DeckAndConn that was completely inevitable. Hoping to have it out by the weekend. Just got a couple more backgrounds to tweak.

A quick post about something you’d enjoy—one of our listeners, Nick Wheeler, emailed us a copy of this game he created. We played at Dragoncon and it was a BLAST. Everyone got involved, including our kids! Grab a copy here: ciriusnjw.itch.io/technobabble #Technobabble #StarshipTempest #PartyGame

I'd better be able to recreate this in #NoMansSky #Cosmos, or I'll be cross.

@elissablack.com Are the torpedo graphics code generated? I can't seem to find them in the graphics files. Admittedly, they are very small, so I might just be missing them...

Ten years ago, it started with a game jam. Since then, we've poured all of our love and craft into every single pixel. Now, it's finally here: a wordless point-and-click adventure in a prehistoric world full of dinosaurs. Theropods launches August 20th!🦕

Sales season is officially over! But a reminder that you don't need money to be overwhelmed with cool PC games. I still need to catch up on updating it, but my big list of Cool Free PC Games is ever-expanding, now featuring the massive & rad Quake Brutalist Jam 3, which is surprisingly standalone.

Thought we could maybe do with cheering up, so I refracted some sunlight through billions of suspended water droplets. Hope you like it - I can never remember what order to put the colours in and always end up having to sing that damned song...

Allowed my son to select my next destination in #NoMansSky. The planet he selected was strangely inhabited by sentient lightning, so apparently I have a pet energy being now. I suspect he may be a glitch, but I hope he sticks around.

Like all the best aspiring writers, I spent the whole day procrastinating and didn't write anything whatsoever. I blame this on the new Majuular video covering Serpents Isle, and the fact that Hitman VR is now good.

May have become a little obsessed with No Mans Sky. Was never a fan of the tiny starships the game gave you, and now they've gone and added 'build-your-own' corvettes. Wish I could have an NPC crew though... #NoMansSky

I...have never heard of Silksong. Good luck to them though - sounds like a massive success. If anyone needs me, I'll be probably playing something released in around 1993.
