One of the really cool things about marketing is that by deep diving into a genre space to really dig in, you find so many games that are SO cool that you never would have seen - not marketed, made on the side, tiny games, etc etc. I love discovering little hidden gems along the way.

Started working, cannot remember if I took my meds, do not want to double up on them, so existing in a limbo state until my next dose. Sigh.

There's been a lot of Discourse around international events lately, & I'm curious as I'm hearing so many different takes from different people.

What events ARE you considering attending if you're an indie dev or indie publishers for the first half of 2026?

Have thoughts about queer museums, queerness in museums, or just plain being queer in museums? We'd love to hear from you. Early findings are turning out to be amazing, and we hope it helps museums do better. mqedu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... @alanaaaab.bsky.social

I woke up in the middle of the night straight into a huge cough for like twenty minutes and I'm deeply paranoid a flying bug just went straight down my windpipe. Those who know, are aware this happened to me with a tiny fly going into my ear in the night once.

I feel Bugged. Enbuggened. Of The Bug.

Grammelot is one of those things that I'm obsessed with and just want to read about all the time. I love improvised gibberish! Linguistics are so fun!!! I'm reading Because Internet at the moment for that very reason I love to understand how we talk to each other and why it's so WILD
Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

I haven’t even had a chance to play double exposure yet! I’m such a fan of this series but I think I’m alone in not really needing to explore Max and Chloe again - I loved what they did with Before The Storm and felt really satisfied with their story arcs.

This is actually devastating. Please respond to the survey and rally behind Freeplay to see if we can support the ongoing org and its team to continue delivering pivotal events and connection points that we so desperately need.
terrible news coming out of Freeplay. I really hope it & Parallels can continue.

All I have to say about SXSW Sydney sadly ending after a three year run is what an absolutely mammoth effort by Luke, Luella and Peak. Some of the most talented, committed, dedicated, organized people in this industry gave their absolute all to give us a great games festival.

Imagine a museum made purely of the photos you take of injuries/illnesses/weird things you can feel but can’t see then either immediately delete or forget to delete. My nightmare for those to leak. You should see my tonsillectomy recovery photos (you shouldn’t!)
