There is a Thrasher/Thumper bundle on Steam rn for about 9ish bucks. As a result, I have now purchased Thumper for the third time.
I couldn't stop playing Thrasher until I finished it. @puddlestudio.bsky.social (Brian Gibson and @manrad.bsky.social) have made an incredible, trippy arcade experience. I played on #SteamDeck, but it's also available on #VR devices.

i think if you use genai for anything, even writing an email, you're both a moron and a huge baby, and i dont want to play your video game as a result. its not that hard!
As the backlash to generative AI in video games continues to pick up steam heading into 2026, it'll be fascinating to see what is considered "made with generative AI." Can a dev team say they're not using AI if they're writing design docs with Copilot or using chatGPT to make schedules and budgets?

Aaaggghhh I've never been so excited then so let down so quickly... never got around to tinkering with all the PSVR demos since I got "the hat" over the summer. Played this beautiful little cinematic platformer called Star Child and was like "yup, sold"... only to find out it was never released 😑

This is even better than I remember it - you might thinking ‘is this retro 1v1 fighting game worth $17??’ and it is, it really is. A fever dream of 80s action movies powered by absurd 2D simulation. Like Spy vs Spy: the cocaine years

Indie Dev discovers the game they're making basically already exists, worried of being deemed a ripoff. Original dev responds.

Personally, I've been having the best luck with Eve...
For people who might think The Outfoxies characters are much of a muchness & only differ in looks
Movement speed, shot accuracy, damage dealt, damage taken, recoil, climbing, recovery frames, lifting, fall recovery, speed on different terrain etc etc etc
All vary by character

“try water fox or ice weasel” try chill penguin. install flame mammoth. you just download bubble crab. literally just use boomer kuwanger. sting chameleon has a search bar, use it to find toxic seahorse.
I asked what I should use instead of firefox and someone said “floorp” and I legitimately thought it was a bit for like five minutes. tech has gone beyond making the torment nexus real to making poob real.
