Dispatch coming out in episodes appears to have been a very good strategy for developer Adhoc Studio. Astounding numbers here. Episodic games often risk losing audience attention over time but 8 episodes across 4 weeks seems like the perfect cadence to keep players hooked and talking

The US Government has been shutdown for 127 days in the entire history of our country.

Donald Trump has been President for 71 of those days. Today he reached the longest shutdown ever at 36 days.

Likely the last time that I submit the @leftbehindgameclub.bsky.social - if you're a Canadian podcaster, please consider:

Left Behind Game Club for Outstanding Leisure Series

We have been fortunate enough to be 6 time nominees between 2019-2022 but have never won.

Thank you!

With the government shutdown, food assistance (SNAP) is being suspended for November. Around 12% of Americans used SNAP last year so I think November will bring a lot of challenges for people.

If you can, donate some canned goods or cash to a local food bank.

I feel like this has gotta be Stranger Things related. Maybe Wednesday?

I am not okay with this would also fit the Don't Nod genre but I don't think that would be considered major enough.
Don't Nod (Life is Strange, Jusant, Lost Records) is working on a new narrative game at Netflix, based on an unnamed major IP.

I'm starting to game plan episodes for next year and was curious, what games do you think we should cover? Are there any games that feel missing when looking at our episode catalogue?
