Our debut game, Eternal Strands is sitting pretty at 50% off for the Steam Summer Sale. Use magical powers, fight colossus-sized beasts, uncover the mystery of the Enclave, maybe even do some smoochin’!

People seem to like it! We sure loved building it.

Just two days until @ukge.bsky.social! We’ll be there at stand 3-751 with the brand-new issue, plus all our back issues & merch. But, that aside, what are you most looking forward to there?

When Veilguard came out I was looking forward to drip feeding all the storyboard work I did on that here on Bluesky. But I lost my appetite for that pretty quickly due to DISCOURSE (TM). Still, for anyone interested it’s all on my website. www.nickthornborrowart.com

My husband and I run a game store and after all the tariff announcements, he decided to write out kind of a "behind the scenes" of how we spend and spill it out for people who don't understand. He's had so many reactions and shares I wanted to bring it here, too.

Trump's national security advisor accidentally added a magazine editor to a group chat and leaked military secrets. Here's why that's bad news for Biden.

Anyway, if you're looking for a single player game with characters with their own stories, and a chance to battle fantastic creatures in a physics playground and maybe I dunno, there's even smooching, who can say?!?

Might I recommend Eternal Strands now on Gamepass, Xbox S/X, PS5, Epic and Steam!

Honestly, this game 😍
