I think I’m fully trapped in this game’s clutches, you guys. Very arcadey and addictive.

I know Megabonk is the current Survivors-like indie darling, but may I submit for the jury: BALL x PIT. It combines the classic Breakout (1976) with the Vampire Survivors formula in a way that’s REALLY interesting 👀

Picked up Owlboy on a Steam sale ($4), and I booted it up just to make sure it runs ok. I was completely blindsided by this title screen! 😱 Music that sounds like Kingdom Hearts, and pixel art that rivals Sea of Stars 🎨🖌️🎶

This continued dialogue from Louis turned this mid-tier furry joke into an S-tier joke, easily. Happy Halloween, furfags 🎃🐲🌈

Lurking in the fandom since 2004 (and an active participant in it since 2010) means I’ve seen a lot of low-effort furry jokes that are just cringey and unfunny. Look Outside’s furry jokes, on the other hand, are MUCH better. 🐉✨

Been playing Yooka-Replaylee on my Steam Deck, and I forgot how funny some of the character designs are. Trowzer the Snake is an easy fan favorite, but I also think Dr. Quack is incredible, too. I love his stupid dumbass fishbowl head with the dopey headmirror he wears outside of it.

Gotta be honest folks, I didn’t think I was important enough for somebody to want to scam me. But here we are. As soon as I mentioned knowledge of the scam, I was insta-blocked 🤣
Reposting this for others to learn from. Had I not seen other ppl post about this ages ago, I would have been duped 😱🧐

After playing 20+ hrs* in Silksong, this is my rough impression of the two games in terms of vibes, color palettes and combat feel.
(* = I am still in Act 1, trying to do all the side quests, but I feel like I'm close to reaching Act 2...?)

So, we all suspected that plenty of people would be playing Silksong upon release. But the original Hollow Knight got a massive signal boost too. One month ago it was getting 8K concurrent players on Steam. Now it looks like it's about to surpass 100K 😱 #HollowKnight #Silksong #SteamCharts

Every time I look up Hollow Knight's player count out of morbid curiosity, Team Cherry reaches YET ANOTHER all-time peak on Steam. Release day is going to be outright historic. You love to see it 🪲⚔️🪡🕷️

If you described a game to me as a cross between Shadow of the Colossus, a 3D hack-and-slash action RPG, and an twin-stick shoot-em-up game, I’d tell you that sounds awful. And yet… 😱👻🤖

And here’s the charm load out for all you NERDS 🤓 Sharp Shadow, Soul Catcher, Grubsong, Lifeblood Heart, and (the obvious, required) Grimmchild. (Screenshot taken after the boss fight, hence the empty charm notch. I didn’t think I’d actually get him 😱)
