Just buy Future? No thanks! and look for this artist/musician/singer 👇 He’s well hidden and totally pointless for the game, but it’s by far the coolest character! @molleindustria.org

He Who Watches is probably my puzzle game of the year. Imagine a sokoban game inside Manifold Garden, but with an arc mechanic. At first, it’s a bit strange and disorienting, but once it clicks, it’s incredible and so satisfying. Plus, I love the hint system @draknek.bsky.social

Remember the internet before Google, before algorithmic feeds, before monolithic social media corralled us onto the same handful of apps? When small, *personal websites* and webrings linking them together reigned supreme? Time to bring it back.

I feel quite strongly that chairmen of video game companies should not wear suits with a little silk handkerchief tucked into the pocket. Chairmen of video game companies should have long hair and wear hoodies. They should ideally ride a skateboard. This is where we're going wrong.

The very content creators who accuse IGN [...] of misusing their influence are the real tastemakers of the modern era; they shape the conversation around new games—often via misinformation and ragebait, which more reliably drives engagement on social media than discussing games on their own terms 👇
