If purgatory exists, it probably looks something like the concourse at London Euston

Oh wow, I didn’t know it had mod support. It looks more like someone’s modded a skateboard into Mirrors Edge!

I’m seeing them live for the first time later this year, and part of me wishes they’ll just play this from start to finish

Holy shit, Adios costing less than a beer is criminal. An absolute must play if you love narrative driven games, or horses

This is a great pick for spoopy season. Cheaper than a cup of coffee too

So happy with how this came out. Been in my head for about a decade. Five minutes, free, in-browser, requires audio you can hear. It's a bit of what you expect, and so much of what you absolutely do not. skiesoffight.com Don't spoil it, just play! #indiedev #gamedev #retrogaming

Who brings a mechanical keyboard onto the quiet coach? They’re not even quiet keys

I've been playing some Mega Man Legends after listening to the @intothecast.bsky.social PSX retrospective. By god, that art style works so well with the quirky 3Drendering on the PlayStation. Screenshots almost don't do it justice. Also, I had no idea its where these little guys came from!

Ever since the first truck sims were a thing, I've always wanted a career mode where you start off in a rusty old panel van, and have to work your way up to the giant lorries. Looks like this might be a step in the right direction!

Hey @valvesoftware.com, any plans to add age verification methods to @steampowered.com that don't require a credit card? My account is old enough to vote, but I can't buy smut on the internet anymore

Sam Higton @samhigton.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
I know, right? You'd think my account being 21 years old would be enough proof that I'm old enough, but it seems like its credit card or nothing

Making a track that produces less overtaking than Monaco is kind of impressive in its own way

Just played through Otogirisou on the Snes; a delightfully creepy, if somewhat campy haunted house horror on the snes. The translation by ButThouMust was impeccable github.com/ButThouMust/...

It looks like just the screen, rather than the whole bottom half is glossy too? I think I might prefer that, my Thor is a total fingerprint magnet

How have we made it to 2026, and we still haven't come up with a decent way of managing Bluetooth audio? No iPhone, for the 20th time, I don't want to play Puzzmo through the lounge speakers

I love the art style of this, and the music on the title screen is incredible. There's something particularly satisfying about how you interact with those water level switches too

Tell me more about this lentil pillow. Is it hard raw lentils, or mushy cooked ones?

Haha, great minds think alike! I was even going to have seagulls that swoop in and take your fish, but that feature got cut because we ran out of time. I can’t wait to see where you go with yours, it looks like you’ve got a much bigger world to explore; mine was just a single screen arcade game

I love this! I also made a game about puffins a while back for a games jam. I’ve been meaning to go back and give it some polish www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=182...

I swear I read a book about this once. It was about the whole industry that popped up around cleaning up a dead kaiju. It followed a team that were tunnelling into the side of it

I did a little games jam over January with some friends, where we tried to make 4 small games in 4 weeks in #pico8. This was the first week's game. I did the programming, and my partner did the art. All in all, I'm pretty happy with it, for a first go at pico-8 www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=154...

More people should play Sky Odyssey on the PS2. It’s a hidden gem of a flight sim with a tonne of varied missions
