But playing a great game DOES feel like the dev magically targeted you, perfectly, sight unseen. It is the power of art to make us feel seen and understood and less alone. Nailing difficulty and accessibility is part of that. I also feel most games are way too hard and all games should be easier.

Collections of studios owned and run by Black People. I'm sure there are some I missed, so please let me know (please double-check that they are owned by black people), and I will add them. Don't just follow them; check out their games. This list is about equity and ownership. go.bsky.app/4wfgP11

The agenda is being forced upon us. Even our games aren't safe.

This is dumb. He should get on Bluesky. My feed is chock full of people oozing with creativity pushing games in cool new directions. So often The Games Industry feels broken and hopeless but it's only because they are blind to the future and another amazing next wave of game designers

You can use graph paper for designing levels so you can keep everything on a clean, measured grid... or NOT. It's like jazz

In the next version of the itch app you can... make your itch games show up in Steam 😅. This has been a long outstanding request that should make it easier to play your itch games without having to change apps on Steam Deck or Big Picture mode

RunMan Turbo is bringing people together, winning hearts and minds. We can restore balance in our communities, we can heal a fractured world, if we all just remember what is most important in life: running really fast and doing wallkicks in video games

Hugely influential game. All your favorite indie platformer game designers played Seiklus and took something away from it. Way ahead of its time in 2003

Kids today are so spoiled just by being able to switch video games on their TV without getting off the couch. Back in my day you had to walk 10 feet there and back - uphill both ways - and pray you didn't have a scratched disc or a cartridge that needed blowing

Just a little reminder to everyone: Algorithms are useless. It's very hard to find cool stuff without being shown it by someone else. So if you find something cool - a band, a game, a video essay or anything else - share it and tell people about it. And thanks to anyone who does! You're cool!
