ATLYSS is one of those games that's pretty constantly on my mind even tho I haven't played it in like a year since it dropped in Early Access...might have to do a stream for the anniversary this month and see how it's shaping up. 👀

📣 EXTRA LIFE GAME DAY IS UPON US!!

This year we've got a really fun run - we'll be playing through indie classic Castle Crashers with some friends!! ⚔️

We even took some time with the new DLC to make custom characters..with mixed results. 😅

Come crash out with us for a good cause!
More details 👇🏼
A stream graphic announcing Garden of Indie's 2025 Extra Life charity stream, November 8th & 9th at 1pm EST with SnakeEyes319, Indiana_Crohns_, and RikOclon. The background is a blue 2 toned diamond pattern, with a thin black border. Piles of loot/treasure sit in each corner, with the Extra Life charity logo at the top. Under that in white blocky letters, outlined in black, is written: "Crashing Out 4 The Kids, Castle Crashers Custom Co-Op!!" The dates and time are on the left and right side, and custom player characters for the streamers are lined up in the middle, with their names underneath. Bottom text outlined in purple reads "live on twitchb@ ttv/" with arrows indicating that each streamer will be live on their own channels.

The time is upon us once again indie gamers..time for #SteamNextFest !! 🥳

I'll be streaming a few demos most nights this week, and as usual we'll be doing some LONG demo streams this weekend..

Indie devs - if you've got a featured demo, share it here to boost, and maybe we'll play it on stream! 👀

❌ No stream today! ❌

My brain has felt like scrambled eggs this past week thus I am behind on a lot of stuff (the cycle continues) and after I decided no stream some wild clouds started rolling in anyway...SO I'm gonna take the day to play catchup on some stuff and I'll see y'all next week! 🌺

This was also clearly the beginning of my descent down the steep slope into indie games and away from basically only playing RPGs and FPS. I played Shovel Knight on 3DS and then Hyper Light Drifter on Xbox, and that was a wrap on AAA games for me. 😅

Post a screenshot of your first 5 Steam purchases and let Bluesky judge you

Fun fact: this was the start of me gaming on PC aside from like Neopets and Flash games on Newgrounds. Don't Starve was basically the reason I made a Steam account and I've actually been thinking about getting back into it!

If you see this, quote this post with a title screen that's iconic to you.
A photo of the title screen from The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past Extended description: Made with pixel art, the title is shown in a blocky, white font, except for Zelda which is centered, red, and much larger than the rest of the text. The title also sparkles in some places. A blue and silver sword with an eye in the hilt is woven through the Z. Behind the title is the Triforce, 3 golden triangles connected at the edges (2 on bottom and 1 on top.) Behind the logo itself is a lakeside scene with a castle wall visible on the right side, and mountains in the distance on the left side.

This week our gameplay picks really highlight the creativity of indies! We'll be playing Mashina - a cool stop-motion digging game, and Time Flies - a game about living life as a fly, which I've been patiently awaiting! 🪰
