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 🎨🖌️🎶

Now, some may be thinking “Rufus, this is just a simple [noun]-sona word swap joke. What makes this joke so special?"

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

👾: Look Outside (2025)
🎮: PC / Steam

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. 🐉✨

THIS DIVA ISN'T EVEN REALLY DEAD LOL 🤣

Sigh... okay. Which one of you told the theatre-kid he could have his own boss fight? He can't even die properly without over-acting it, jfc 🙄

👾: Hollow Knight: Silksong (2025)
🎮: PC / Steam

I've only known this character 10 seconds and I would already die for them 😭💕 #Silksong

24 hrs left til Silksong got me like 💀

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… 😱👻🤖

POV: It’s 1997. You’re doing the advanced route of Starfox 64 and living out your childhood fantasy of being uh... "co-pilots" (👀) with Starfox and Falco… and then some FELINE FLOOZY has to come and RUIN it 🤬🦊🐦🚀
