Everything is sausage if you try hard enough - that's the mantra youtubers like Ordinary Sausage would have you believe, and also the @dunderbeckgame.com demo I'm playing this stream right now 🔪 #indiegames

Mouth sounds stay ON on a licktuber stream, you've been warned.

Meeting Jeff the surfer dude and "going inside the dreams of the plants we're collecting" is apparently something you can do in Starship Home... while in What the Bat your arms are bats (the baseball, not the animal this time). Two delightful designs indeed #rebootdevelop

A fitting edit to be enjoyed in downtown Hamburg
A building wall on which someone has sprayed an edited version of Banksy's Girl with Balloon. This version features Elon Musk's head instead of the girl's, his extended arm Nazi salute replaces the girl's extended arm letting go of the balloon, and the balloon itself is replaced by a brain.
