This is all too true and I'm guilty of not doing that. Here's to changing that in 2025!

I went for a run after two months of Achiles tendon recovery and my Garmin watch told me afterwards that it was an unproductive workout and it docked my VO2Max from 50 to 48. Geez, thanks! That's GLaDOS level of demotivation!

Hot take: Portal 1 was much better than Portal 2.
I'm only saying hot take because it seems that Portal 2 seems to have gotten much better press overall.

Whoa! Talk about a Christmas present. If you're not already a fan of LukHash already, give it a try. And if you are... download away!
If you want a place to start, I recommend CyberChip: lukhash.bandcamp.com/album/cyberc...

This is a very fun little game. Glad it's getting the full treatment.
Also, super interesting approach: Release quick free game, see reaction, decide to go ahead or not. I like it!
Solitomb is getting an UPGRADE! 🎉

The response to the #pico8 version has been great 🚀
I'm extremely happy to say I will be spending the coming months working on a bigger, better version!

Please share the news!

Have you ever bounced off HARD a supposedly very good game? (thread)

I've been catching up on some of the newsletters from @gamediscoverco.bsky.social and... man, that's some grim reading right there! I really wanted to start working on a new game project, but that's making me reconsider my life choices.

This is a fantastic love letter to EGA games. Highly recommended!
I just put out a BIG bug update 🐝 for The Crimson Diamond on Steam! Now with a new (hopefully) more legible font, 100+ bug fixes, & a new way for Nancy to meet an ignoble end! 💀 Follow the link for details!

My thoughts exactly as of late... Your chances with cheap and fast are just as slim, but at least you're out of less money and time after it fails.
Your game isn’t going to be the next Balatro, I hate to inform you

so make it small and cheap and pray someone gives a shit about it, because it’s absolutely Wild West season out there for at least the next few years

Post a random game in your collection (literally, this was the one on the shelf in front of me).

Thinking more about my Slay The Spire experience, once you have some incredible combos and runs, it sucks to have to go through some so-so runs where nothing really clicks in interesting ways. I wonder if that can be designed around, at least somewhat.
