It's fine that Twitch introduced the 'personalised' setting for notifications on followed channels. What's not fine is that when this happened, they switched all the notifications to 'personalised' by default, with the result that I haven't been getting notifications for some channels ever since

Here's a brand new article on GG Aleste II! I ~love~ it when games are so clearly made with their host hardware in mind, it really brings out the best in both of them!

Banger OST time! This is the theme of the Gunmancer (Chahn) in Cosmic Star Heroine! This track is so awesome 🥹 it's a got a jazz bop to it! The main instruments are the saxophone on the first half, and the guitar on the second half! The piano and drums do a great job of supporting both instruments!

Pull Stay
Caput Mortum
Tower of Kalemonvo
House of Necrosis
Aotenjo: Infinite Hands
SuperTaxCity
Deck of Haunts
Heartworm

I recommend all of these.

Every now and then I remember the time when, working in a supermarket as a youth, the building caught fire and while we were trying to get the customers to go outside where it was safe, they all wanted to check out their trolleys of shopping first

Brace yourself for adventure somewhere nearby but not here
Publisher: Can you show a lush, tropical world inhabited by mysterious lost tribes and dramatic, towering dinosaurs?

Artist: Yeah, sure, or at the very least I'll show someone pointing to where it is.
Possibly the least eventful cover The Lost World has ever been graced with?
