We are here to educate 🧑🏫
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...

Did you know? APWOT originally started as a student zine all the way back in 2014! 👀
The original self made publication used a limited colour palette, came in two sizes, was about 20 pages and was made in just under 2 weeks. We've come a long way to having Astro Bot and Playstation on the cover! 🤖

I am vagueposting to myself because A Profound Waste of Time is a powerful read and anyone interested in gaming should read it. There’s a Kickstarter for Issue 6 right now. These are really well-written non-fiction magazines.
