I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

i spent this new year’s morning playing Many Nights a Whisper. it’s such a wonderful contemplative piece

i really appreciate how succinct it manages to be. i could do with more games about the length of a feature film
Looking for short and emotional stuff to play these holidays? Many Nights a Whisper is 1h long and gets quite magical ✨

If you enjoyed it already may you consider leaving a positive review on Steam? 😇 We're a few reviews away from surpasing the 500 threshold!

Our upcoming game The Hearth and Harbour is fully 2D, but with some neat tricks we’ve made it look 3D. Ethan, our environment artist, did this with a special type of texture called a Normal Map. (Thread! 1/7)

it’s a lovely game about dissolving a shared apartment at the end of university. and i found a lot of the musings very relatable. there is also a reference to kentucky route zero. so, there is that. the music by eli rainsberry is also phenomenal (tasty ambient guitar).

i'll be making a donation to the Trussell Trust in a few days. here's how to do the same:

www.trussell.org.uk
It's bad - really bad: "At the end of 2024, 4.5m children – 31% of all UK children – were in relative poverty, living in households earning less than 60% of the UK’s median income. And 18% of all children were growing up in food-insecure households, without consistent access to nutritious food."
Child poverty: how bad is it in the UK?
Four and a half million children are growing up without basic necessities in the UK.
