The Witcher 3 running on the original Switch was already a technical marvel, but the Switch 2 port is a huge step up. Far more detail and significantly smoother framerate. And its free! Here's a couple screenshots I took in handheld mode to give a quick side-by-side reference.

Low key one of the best games I've ever played. Meteos is a puzzle game masterpiece with some incredible design, music, and fascinating world-building. Produced by the now CEO of Enhance Inc. (behind Tetris Effect) and designed by a little-known game dev called Masahiro Sakurai.

Gamescom is cool, but I genuinely miss the local Brisbane indie dev community as a new parent. Give me an indie dev hangout at Netherworld any day. Having a tight-knit network of supportive devs means so much more to me than a flashy event on the other side of the world.

Just finished Slayblade, an absurdist top-fighting roguelike from @moomoomang.bsky.social - super satisfying controls and utterly insane humour. But my favourite part of the game is the "Dogzilla" modifier. Nothing's more satisfying than winning a match due to a dog stomping on your opponent.

The unfortunate indie dev timeline: Step 1: Release amazing indie game. Step 2: Achieve commercial success. Step 3: Attract attention of blood-sucking corporate. Step 4: Get bought out by blood-sucking corporate. Step 5: Get shut down. Dirty corpos really need to stay the fuck out of indie games.
