Live now and checking out the follow up to one of my favourite games from 2025 @dicevaders.bsky.social 👀

30 hours, 2 calls to the police (out of genuine concern) and 3 hours of ✨H E A L T H Y✨ sleep later, that bloody alarm has finally been turned off How the fuck did none of my neighbours notice or complain?! They once complained someone sneezes too loud but an ear-piercing alarm is fine?!

Doing that "9 games that shaped me as a gamer" trend and I had to think long and hard to get to this list. It's especially wild to me that I've played all 3 of those Blizzard games when they released in the 2000s and now again, with new content, in 2026

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

If Blizzard REALLY wanted to reward my renewed enjoyment of their games, they'd ban one specific streamer from their games Forever. Pun intended.

People being really vocal about disabling Twitch AI training (good) but still running stuff like Frosty

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

okay, fuck it, insomnia kicking my ass so I'm working on a script for a video where I just excitedly talk about why I think WoW Forever will be dope from a lore perspective

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

AI bros on Twitter always trying to claim that the "anti-AI crowd" is a "vocal minority" and I'm like... my guy, it's Twitter, besides LinkedIn this is THE place where pro AI guys are most prominent and you're still being ratio'd by anti-AI people.

Today on Twitter (Formerly known as X Formerly known as Twitter): People are upset that Borderlands 4's newest DLC includes a voice line about hating ICE and think politics should stay out of games Ignoring, conveniently, that Borderlands has always been political, of course.

Being on the internet in 2026 is just a giant game of "where's wally" but we're looking for obvious signs of something being AI instead of a dude in a striped shirt

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

When the AI disclosure turns into an AI novella Also, lmao, "hey, we couldn't be bothered to hire an artist or do quality control, please report AI artifacting to us so we can fix it"

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Live now with Thousand Hells, the newest game published by @kitfoxgames.com and I'm very excited to check this one out

lmao, I can agree with Portland, ig but New York and Boston?!

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Oh I forgot to say here but the top 100 was interrupted yesterday because Twitch was having issues (again) and I felt bad for people missing out so I'll pick a new date and let you know as soon as that's done <3

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Me: Hey, Amazon, two of the books in my order are (slightly) damaged. I wouldn't mind keeping them if you're willing to offer me some compensation. Amazon: Full refund? Me: No, I'd like to keep them because returning them is a waste Amazon: Yes, you get to keep them. Full refund? Me: Okay!

Patch notes for August's Indie Gems 1.01 patch: Forgot to add Ostranauts to the Curator list, this has been fixed. Apologies to @dcfedor.bsky.social <3

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

It's September which means two things 1) my birthday is in 2 days but, more importantly 2) it's time for August's #IndieGame Indie Gems. We've had a bunch of great game in August and I wouldn't be surprised if some of these end up in my yearly favourites. Remember to wishlist and support #indiedev

151

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Got offered a game through Steam Curator Connect, which I'm normally very excited about! But the solo dev relied so heavily on AI that even the AI Disclosure on the Steam page is AI generated T_T

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

I know I make the lists (and the rules) but would anyone mind if I include a July game in my August indie gem list? In my defence, it released on the 31st of July

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Nooooo my stream plans for today! Sorry to hear about the delay, I'll be ready on the 9th! <3

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Really excited for Sunset Summit by @futurefriendsgames.com tomorrow Anyone down to play with me on strim tomorrow?

Oh and while I was researching this I also saw the they published a claim that AI will save people with ADHD and got a little upset Oh, and of course the whole thing is also written with AI because why do any work yourself

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

I've seen several "fully AI-made" games on Steam so far and they're all just blatant ripoffs of far better games. Like, there's so much Diablo 1 in this that I'm honestly surprised Blizzard hasn't gone after it yet. Probably because no one's even heard of it.

110

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Thank you for this amazing game @lantto.bsky.social 🤲 I can't wait to start up my next world

020

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

If y'all aren't already aware of Sandustry by @lantto.bsky.social and @hoodedhorse.bsky.social then let me be the one to tell you that it's amazing and you should at the very least try the demo

120

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Hot take(?): Aggregating follower count across all platforms makes no sense to me. Like, there's gotta be a significant amount of audience overlap, right?

010

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Had to wake up way too early for an appointment - #IndieDev Bluesky, tell me about the #IndieGame you're working on and def lmk if there's a demo (coming) that I can play on stream

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Yes, Netflix, I clicked the "skip recap" button but I'd LOVE to see the minute-long intro for this TV show I'm 4 seasons in to for the 48th time Please assume "skip recap" means "please get me straight to the fucking show I'm binging" and don't make me click a "skip intro" button right after

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Accidentally pushed two clips to shorts/tiktok/insta at the same time and too lazy to fix it

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

What a great week for indie games; ReStory, Iron Nest, Ostranauts, Montabi, Sovereign Tower, Fields of Mistria, and the playtest for Probably Stolen (which feels like a full game already) are all amazing

031

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

It's August? I'm pretty sure the year only just started but I guess that does mean I owe y'all some #IndieGame Gems for July! Here's some of my favourites indie games from the month; remember to wishlist the ones you like and support the #IndieDev community!

I miss when people would actually argue with you instead of replying with a screenshot of them asking the [always agrees with you machine] a loaded question

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Also, we hit 50k views influenced on the curator page. I'm very proud to be doing my small little part to help indie games

Okay so the universe took this challenge and decided to kill one of my monitors. Nothing too bad but, please, no more tech difficulties until after we hit 1k.

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Hey, uh, it's non-binary people day so recommend me some fun new or upcoming indie games that I should check out on stream.

000

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Barring anything stopping me, I'll be celebrating my 1000th consecutive daily stream on Saturday the 18th of July! There'll definitely be some reminiscing and celebrating because I wouldn't have been able to do this without all the love and support I've received over the years <3

122

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

We're almost a week into July and I'm late with my #IndieGame Gems of June! Anyway, the summer period is usually quiet when it comes to new game releases but we still had a bunch of great games release in June! Make sure to wishlist the games that interest you and support those #IndieDevs

131

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

Had a neighbourhood-wide power outage that took 2 hours to resolve, so that was a fun start of my day Gas and water still worked so I boiled some water to make coffee. Saw my neighbour heading out to work and asked if he wanted a cup, haven't interacted with him much before but he seemed happy 🙃

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

I didn't like GTA 4, I didn't like GTA 5, and I'm probably not going to like GTA 6 (or even play it) - and that's okay because to each their own - but I really do feel like this atm

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

AI: Here your info :) Me: That's not what I asked for AI: Sorry, here's your actual info :) Me: That's... still not what I asked for? AI: Sorry, I hallucinated that, it happens sometimes :) Here's how to Google what you're looking for I WAS TRYING TO USE GOOGLE

110

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

How come every time people call a game out for having AI art in it it's just "placeholders"? Has the games industry forgotten how to properly make and mark placeholder art? (doubt it) And then the final asset is just a retouched version of the AI art. They're just sorry they got caught

Giving HE-man pronouns sure would be weird, huh?

Lots of trailers and announcements this week so I've put together a list of 10 of my favourite ones. I haven't seen every showcase and there was a LOT to go through so I might have missed or forgotten about some. I'll probably make a second one next week store.steampowered.com/curator/4586...

Hey! It's definitely still the start of June and I'm here with a fresh list of #IndieGame Gems from May 2026! May was a stacked month with a ton of great games so I had a hard time keeping this list manageable - Remember to wishlist your favourite ones!

121

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

A bit late but watching now! 👀

010

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Things have been a little busy but I'll post the indie gems for May this weekend! Part of the delay has also been the amount of absolutely fantastic games released in May and it'll be difficult to keep the list to 10 or less so we might do another Curator list bonus

SethTheHex @seththehex.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

Woah, this game really pulled out all the woke leftist ideologies from the playbook by referring to a person as person
