Games are inherently surreal and expressive. I'd love to see more and more of that!
I will die on the hill that games are at their greatest when they are treated as a medium for expression and not just entertainment
I dont think there is a better medium for surrealism than games, no other art form can flesh out worlds/ecosystems so smoothly
(I have many screenshots but spoilers)

Strange holiday beers continues.
Like most, I've been thinking a lot about the past and the upcoming year. I'm focusing on creative challenges and exploration to keep "sane". I did this piece back at the very end of 2019 when I was going through a similar process and I'm feeling it today.

Still have yet to try Keeper in VR.
At over 46 hours, I finally got the last Achievement in #Keeper!
Truly my #GOTY, maybe #GOAT honestly. Played on #PC, sometimes w/ #UEVR. I want more games that reward curiosity like this, too beautiful for words.
I'll need a sequel by the end of the week @leepetty.bsky.social @doublefine.com <3

One of my favorite new Keeper update features is the ability to force the aspect ratio to ultra wide if you want to experience it on a standard 16:9 monitor. 32:9 + Noir mode makes for a very different experience.
