🔔Big announcement time🔔

After almost two years of saying I was a Project Manager at @thinkygames.com, I can finally talk about what we were doing.

It's a daily web game, but every day there are new rules, plus there's a story (and some lovely art) that progresses with each day.
We’re very excited to announce Thinky Dailies! 🎉 Follow our thinky friend on an adventure through handcrafted daily puzzles!

Would love some support on a Thoughtful Play I just put up for @intelligame.us ! Likes, comments? Subscribes? 🔔? 😅

Started checking out @somethingclassic.bsky.social 's Quartet the other day, and loving the Final Fantasy VI vibes. Great soundtrack, compelling writing, and PEOPLE OF COLOR TOO
I checked out a game in my backlog yesterday: Quartet.

It's a turn-based RPG that feels straight out of a SNES Final Fantasy, with a killer soundtrack and SUCH good writing. I'm just getting started, but I'm struck by the storytelling in Wallside. 🧵

After an inspiring trip to Melbourne for their Games Week, I realized I want to practice being more vocal about my personal projects

SO: Here’s the latest episode of @geeksandgrounds.bsky.social where I chat with @miladyconfetti.bsky.social about a game that definitely hurts 😮‍💨
October's game is Mouthwashing, and the episode with @miladyconfetti.bsky.social is LIVE!

The game begins with "I hope this hurts" and it DOES hurt: it also provides much to dig into regarding the capacity for harm and "taking responsibility"

Watch now:

The absolute fuckery of the Labour party on trans rights. Fuck these fuckwits and their absolute pandering cowardice when it comes to protecting one of the most vulnerable groups of people in our society. Fucking amoral fucking fuckbags.

Help me help some good kids!

Looking for recommendations for social justice/mental health-oriented games that are free and easily accessible from a computer (browser-based would be FANTASTIC)

Got some good picks for me?
