Alright folks, this is mostly a proper introduction for my current moots. But I also set out to make my next #promosky / #gamingsky post my last one for a while — and a good one. Here you go.
Here's who I am, my favorite kinds of media, and how I'd like to interact with you all when I can.

So, from what I've learned
Cons of living in the DG universe:
> occasional organ robbery
> no flavor in the food :(
> you may be exploded depending on net worth
Pros:
> 20 movies exist
> survivable amounts of oxygen (usually)
> you might see photos of other people’s pets from the before-times

Happy New Year, folks. I spent a good chunk of December trying to wrap my head around this mech-themed dungeon crawler series by @yomigael.bsky.social.
It was very hard. And very fun. And I think you can tell the exact moment I lost my mind while playing through it. 🐁

I played a bunch of cool low poly indie games and demos this past month. Bluesky has an awesome community of devs making killer stuff right now, including @hexosphere.xyz (Prison of Husks) @adinolfi.bsky.social (Heartworm) and @knifedemonsoftware.bsky.social (Brush Burial). Exciting times, I say.

Silly question, for the folks who play Metroidvanias: what one game would you tell someone to play to get them into the subgenre?
(If I get no answers, I shall continue to pretend they don't exist)
