Attention Indie Devs!
I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility.

While I fully expect Expedition 33 to run away with the IGOTY award (and probably a lot of other GOTY awards) I also wouldn't be surprised if Silksong or Blue Prince took it.
Honestly might be one of the most stacked list of nominees of all time. So many good games out there!

Might be a hot take, but I actually quite like the design of Zilla (The 1998 American Godzilla). It's a great bit of creature design that is truly menacing.
It's just not Godzilla. Looking at it out of that context though, I think it's rad.

I often crush cans of Chef Boyardee ravioli and spaghetti and meatballs. Sometimes at the same time (one can of each, mixed together. It's diabolical but so good.)

We don't post enough small, personal victories on social media I think.
Last month, I managed to get to the gym 5 days a week for the entire month. That's pretty good for someone as sedentary as I usually am.
What little thing have you done lately that you are proud of?

Jane Goodall is to this day the only famous person I have met that left me star struck.
I remember growing up reading about her work in old National Geographic magazines. She was always someone I admired, and one of the reasons why I studied anthropology in college.
Rest in peace Dr. Goodall.
