Rolled credits on Hades 2 last night. A huge round of applause to the entire @supergiantgames.bsky.social team for knocking it out of the park a second time. A shining example of the genre and how Early Access should be handled. ⏳🌙🌙🌙⏳

Tiny Bookshop, an adorable game about selling books out of a small trailer, draws inspiration from some unexpected places. We interviewed developer David Wildemann to learn more.

another correct take from yours truly
There's no shame in "shrink it and pink it." Game consoles have no sense of style, and should come in more colors and designs, @midimyers.com writes. www.endlessmode.com/article/game...
Game Consoles Should Be Cuter
Aesthetics are important and say a lot about a product. That's why game consoles should embrace cuteness and have more stylistic options.
