One evening in 2024, @amossorri.sauna2000.com, and I chatted together in the @hauntedps1.bsky.social voice chat, agreeing that if the previous showrunners for the Demo Disc were wanting to take a break, we should release our own. Yesterday, that dream became real with the release of Flipside Frights
Sorry for being quiet in terms of streaming. Just been busy as of late. When we return we'll be taking a look at some recently released-ish games like Angeline Era and Eclipsium :)

I think you've had a pretty successful stream when you have to stop streaming the game you're playing because too many people wandering in are interested in the game you're playing and you don't want them to get spoiled

Gonna be streaming today to try and get back into the habit of doing so featuring Brutal Orchestra, a game made by the wondeful @itsthetalia.bsky.social, and its new content update True Zeal! Might also play other games - consider this a "fuck it, we ball" day come hang out!

I mentioned yesterday that I’d be filling this space with micro-reviews, mostly focused on indie games I think are worth checking out. Consider this a creative distraction from Current Events™
So, here’s a thread of recent reviews I’ve been posting on Backloggd and Steam

I kind of quietly forgot that Anatomy is NOT free ($2.99 USD) when I reviewed it, whoops.
Making the new PRICE score a 10/10 ($3 for a roughly hour-long art house experience is quite a steal), Anatomy's score becomes 9.1429/10.

"One of the masterpieces in indie horror history that earned its reputation – unsettling, poetic, and exclusive in a way that both serves its purpose but unfortunately limits its reach."

Honestly, I might make this a thread of short paragraph-length reviews for some games in my collection that I don't plan on writing a review article for (ie too old and too long since a last update) - how many people may be interested?

Small, free act you can do to bring some good in this world: add positive reviews to ALL you Steam games, especially the small indies. You don't need to write anything smart, just "game good" is enough. Every positive steam review tips the algorithm and helps your fav artists get more sales

Been legit super in the dumps lately between recent political events (abolish ICE!), the snow storm, and other personal things. Sorry I haven't had the energy of, well, doing anything lately.
New game to write a game journalism article about, though! And a new update for one of my favorite games

Going live with PAPERS, PLEASE - not because I want to vent about current geopolitical states of the world or anything via satire. 🙃
Plus I have been meaning to play for literal years. So, why not strike while the skillet is freezing cold?

i've been seeing a bunch of people make threads of 50 indie games; while i understand the reasoning, i'd rather make a smaller thread (25 games) and actually say something about each one.
no two games by the same dev. will also link the devs if they're on this site!

I want to say how personally disgusted and disappointed I am that so many of the great indie horror games that have come out in recent years are attached to this filth. This sucks.
I have words on this subject and want to make it clear that these are my personal opinion words. I need to vent. 1/4

With Critical Reflex being such a major player in the indie space, these accusations of covered up sexual harassment and unfair labour practices are all deeply disappointing and distressing. I hope this all gets tackled quickly and decisively.
