Absurd #retrogaming facts? Humphrey Bogart was once the advertising face for a video game called Soldier of Fortune. Yep, let it sink in.

It felt like a real accolade when, for the first time, a player compared my upcoming game Anna: The Magic of Words (NES/Famicom) to the magnificent CELESTE. 🙏☺️

Someone on YouTube commented on my game Anna: The Magic of Words (NES) this: "Celeste, but it's 8-bit". That felt like an accolade for a moment. 🙀😸

It's this kind of games I'm proud of our lovely #indiegame scene. Star Birds ("a relaxing asteroid base-building and resource management game") by @toukana.bsky.social uses a familiar concept in a completely new form. If you like stuff like Factory (and similar), check Star Birds out. 😍

[Nerd post 🙃] After 30+ years with #Linux (Suse/Red Hat and 25+ years #Debian based) I switched to #ArchLinux and never thought it could feel like this to have missed out on something. Thanks to @cachyos.org for the specific kernel, with so many good adjustments and tweaks (not just performance).

I sign this and like all of your ideas really! Go with Dale and think that the "official" feels a bit to misleading (no offence) and in our tech world today a bit overused too. But anyway it would be amazing to get it adopted by the people. 😍
Shouldn't we even get something that can take the place of the seal-of-quality but doesn't try to pretend being a Nintendo seal ? not even remotely ?

Congratulations @teamcherry.bsky.social for your work the last years.
Funny fact: Silksong's release is being delayed by Silksong's release. (Because at least Steam Store, Nintendo E-Shop, Humble Store and Xbox Gamepass had hickups around the release time of the game.) #silksong #hollowknight
