I've been playing Q-UP, a brilliant and deeply weird incremental game with an esports theme.
It starts with a simple coin flip and spirals into a fugue of emergent mechanics.
I'll post some thoughts here as I idly play…

Save 10% on Q-UP on Steam
Sick of long queues, unfair matchups, and arbitrary reflex tests? Try Q-UP, the coin flipping eSport. It's one part clicker, one part multiplayer strategy game, one part demented capitalism simulator,...

Why does Panda Express let me schedule an order for later if they're going to ignore the time and have the food ready for pick-up 30 minutes before the time I selected?

Bought a Sunday pass for Pokemon Worlds after seeing they were still available, excited to go to an in-person gaming event just to spectate for the first time in forever!

Moving this weekend, and taking my Sony Tritron CRT with me. Thank you to @summoningsalt.bsky.social for giving me another reason to keep it

There was an analogy I think of often, making video dames are similar to the construction of a very complex table. You can make a table incredibly beautiful and it can even sometimes reach the levels of art but at the end of the day there is still the expectation that it can be used as a table.
its always weird to me the way video game reviews don't separate tech issues out from a review of the game itself. mixing them together confuses "this is a review of a product" with "this is a review of a piece of art". Like rating a book lower cause the pages its printed on tear easily

My favorite moment from Combo Breaker this year was teaching the Axe/Sung shield drop method to a newer player, who only knew about (and struggled to) Shai drop.
He looked at me like I had just shown him fire for the first time as he immediately started hitting it consistently!

My seat on my redeye flight was right in front of the emergency exit so it didn't recline, but WE MADE IT TO COMBO BREAKER!

The humble Eggo waffle has provided such consistent culinary pleasure all my life. We don’t talk enough about this.

Just got my Sparkplate from @sparkm.bsky.social today! Still getting used to using notches, but I've been loving it so far!

Feels like I'm regressing a lot in Melee & Rising 😢 I'm hoping it's because I've been soaking more information and now having trouble parsing everything as I play, but man is it demotivating

I convinced a friend to play Frog Fractions. He went in blind, and came out a changed person.
Right as he finished, another friend joined the Discord call, and we convinced him to play too.
Now there are three of us in the cult. The cycle continues. The gospel spreads. 🐸📖

apaMEN, one of Japan's best pro League of Legends top laners, came out retirement as an emergency sub for DFM, Japan's representative for worlds. Though they went 0-2 and were one of the first teams eliminated, he had this to say in an interview
