Got out to Portland Retro Game Expo for the first time in ages! Didn't know @pizzapranks.bsky.social was going to be tabling there, but it was an awesome surprise. Got to pick up physical editions of both @unluckychloe.bsky.social and @brookp8.bsky.social releases that are super sick!

Do you make (or have you ever made) games that are short, abrasive, experimental, or otherwise don't fit in the familiar commercial games space? Then you're in luck because Indiepocalypse is out here publishing those sorts of games! Submit here! (or email me) www.indiepocalypse.com/submit

Or in a more provocative way of putting it, people would do well to be more embarrassed by liking the popular commercial product of the day and feel the need to seek their own unique taste in games whether or not there is e another single soul talking about those games. (better if there aren't?)

Andrew | BUY INDIEPOCALYPSE ➡️ PRGE @pizzapranks.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

But! Maybe it shouldn't be that way? I feel the youngest part of "games are a young medium" is people's tastes. (in that it's very narrow and basic) It's just odd that commercial game design still looms so large while people have been making a wide range of artistic works in games basically always.

It is with a heavy heart that I admit I was baited into posting (quote posting even) by some online cheap heat, forgetting my own important guiding advice that most discussion about games online is about games as an Industry and not games as an Art Form.

Andrew | BUY INDIEPOCALYPSE ➡️ PRGE @pizzapranks.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

And as added benefit (that I forget to add) is that I am continually traveling the world, bringing this games to events big and small where I find they have a warm reception whether it's a small art-focused event or a big noisy trade show!

This is not targeted at any one of these instances in particular (because obviously), but there is a certain fatigue that sets in as I *keep* seeing these vague gestures that tend not to acknowledge the people (like myself in this instance) are actually already doing this thing people say they want!

This is the 3rd or 4th time in a month I have tagged into someone pitching the idea of selling physical games at events or otherwise in-person and I can say from doing it for years at events at various scales all over the place, that it works well.

Yeah! I even see people buying external drives (since they're so cheap) as their physical game players for indie games on disc. I also think recognizing that "hey, people are doing this already" is a great way to entourage more people to start doing something!
