Day 1 of the Belgian game conf GameForce ✨Done! ✨

Had a blast play testing Curiosmos with the best Patty and Selma I’ve ever seen *and* had some surprisingly good Takoyaki?!

What a day!

"In this house to-do lists are wallpaper"

This game is a gorgeous lil snack of coming to terms with the never ending list of things one wants to do, and never being able to do them all..

Jill's lil' poem of a game can be played in 5 minutes, and will sit in your soul forever ✨

Thanks Jill 🙏

Legit playing Planetenverteidigungskannonenkomandant with @rystorm.com was a life changing experience.

The pitch: “Angry birds but very complicated with a MASSIVE controller”

What a marvel of an experience - I’ll be giggling for days

every now and then I see a almost perfect job at Larian
... 750 meters from my house
...... and think "Should I get a job?" 😭

(also: FELLOW NERDS: see you at Gamescom this week I'm there to talk Curiosmos and the steam review site Gameplainer.com I've been working on forever)

I’m exactly six months late to Pirate Yakuza but omg this game is as off the wall as the series has ever been.

There’s a side quest where the pirate chef leads a dating sim and it’s

🔊Here's a little video of the right-stick controls used to replace the traditional mouse-heavy point and click.

Bloody marvellous work.

Just rolled credits on The Drifter, bloody *marvellous* point & click game from the makers of Crawl.

Delightful from start to finish, superb writing, top-notch voice acting, and pixel art you want to hang on a wall.

90s LucasArts but modern and fresh

10/10

Turns out I’ve visited Osaka and window shopped / drooled over Nintendo’s Virtual Boy 🥽 for over 20 years - with photos!

I present

✨the Virtual Boy price index ✨

2005: ¥6980 ($47)
2015: ¥18480 ($125)
2025: ¥107800 ($730)

Probably should have invested in Virtual Boys instead of Vives and nachos 😂

I snuck in a cleaning reference in almost every slide, though I was a little too proud of this one where I wanted to show off how to use the "LinkedIn QR code generator thing" but first made sure my previously viewed pages all spelled out the word C L E A N

It was also a secret pitch to encourage folks to clean their keyboard.

keyboards are always gross.

everyone's keyboard are slimy, it's totally normal. What *isn't* totally normal is shoving a stinky slimy keyboard into someones face while asking for money.

Clean it a tiny lil bit! 🧽

HOT TIP: Clean your computer screen it's gross.

I gave a little talk today in Brussels about 'how to survive gamescom' but mostly it was about:

1. Drink more water
2. Clean your computer screen
3. Wear good shoes
