Is it just me, or does the excitement of opening a new video game sometimes feel underwhelming these days...? 🫤

I don't take a lot of pictures when I go to concerts, but when I do...

🎮 Been #gaming (mostly goofing off) with some friends this week on the new "skate." by Full Circle Studio.

🛹 I'm digging the fun, laid back online platform for #skateboard culture fans to hang out.

🛋️ I may be biased because I've waited 15years for this, but the #earlyaccess really shows potential!

And hey, sometimes just a casual walk, a few blocks away from home, can lead to surprise views that would most commonly be seen in a movie by most suburban folks 😅

Just finished playing through The Adventures of Eliot demo. I didn't expect to feel so #nostalgic for a game that's not even out yet 😅

This is a #HD-2D #Zelda style #game with #Diablo like #RPG elements 🎮

Each time I discovered a new mechanic or new area, I just kept thinking "This is fantastic!"

Some would say he's a Freak on a Leash, I would say that he is outstanding in his field 🌽

I may or may not have put this guy in the cornfield maze as a placeholder in the most recent @homecall.bsky.social playtest build... XD

If you see this, quote this post with a game you would instantly buy if it got remastered/remade!

Ngl, next best thing is definitely :

Checked out the Montreal Comic Art Festival (FBDM) in my neighborhood today. Met some cool people and bought a few nice things 📚

Looking through what we picked up, and so far I'm really digging these alien dudes in the "Cryptid Club" book by @sarahseeandersen.bsky.social

🤯 Probably the best release schedule in history...

The best videogame from 1998?

Indeed! The important question is: when and how did Yoshi open his own business? And how did he get the funding to open on the side of a popular race track? While everyone is arguing about DK's new haircut, this dude gets shit done!

We should be more like Yoshi. 🍔

Tried making some gluten-free dumplings from scratch for the first time. We did pretty good if you ask me 😅

Repost an #aesthetic #vibe from an old #videogame, that lives in your head.

For me, it's this dark gritty pixelated industrial aesthetic from Full Throttle 🖤 Circa 1995

Give me a single screenshot from a video game that immediately makes you hear the soundtrack in your head.

🚘 Fun Fact : This car is NOT moving...

🛣 I made this treadmill-like "infinite road" animation to allow the credits portion of the @homecall.bsky.social intro #cutscene to be more flexible.

😅 The illusion is quite effective!
