Still one of my favourite bundles of paper 🙏
Issue 1 of A Profound Waste of Time came out 8 years ago and it’s still one of our most popular issues.
We’re glad it went down well.

this past month I've been interviewing various alt game event organisers, collectives and curators past & present for my upcoming article in @apwot.bsky.social - spending time chatting with that international community has been so darn restorative & delightful.

Today I learned that Chrono Trigger, the GOAT, coined the term "New Game+" and popularized the feature. Thanks, @apwot.bsky.social!

I’m gonna also chalk this up as my first piece of #KyleBosman merch, technically speaking.
Looking forward to digging into annual issue #5 some time, it’s the overall best physical print media re: gaming out there these days imo

Nothing better than reading a new @apwot.bsky.social, cannot recommend it highly enough. Even the art alone is worth the price.

I bought all the mags from @apwot.bsky.social, solely based on my friends’ suggestions. « you gonna like it ». That’s it. No additional context. Nothing. I got the collector edition every time because they are so beautiful. Tho I didn’t know how they’d actually look like before receiving them.

That's my art he's holding up there! The craziest thing to see just before going to bed. Never would've thought I'd see the day where GCCX's kachō would be matching his head up with a piece of art I made for the lovely APWOT magazine...
