With the @sixoneindie.com and @convergence-gs.bsky.social showcases tomorrow, this number is definitely hitting four digits. There are too many good games out there; I wish I had time and money to buy and play them all.

This article is how every major publication should be talking about Kirk, his legacy, and the reaction to his death from both the left and right. We can acknowledge that his murder should never have happened and fully condemn it without acting like Kirk was a good person.
An excerpt from an article from the publication 'The Nation' speaking about the death of Charlie Kirk. The article is linked in the post I have quote reposted here, so if you're reading this, please consider reading the full article and supporting the publication for their valuable work.

Go ahead, Nintendo. Love to see how that's going to go for you.
An excerpt from the Wikipedia entry for the game 'Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei' highlighting the release year of 1987. Another excerpt from the same Wikipedia article, with the line "The player can keep seven demons at a time, of which up to four can be summoned at the same time" highlighted. An excerpt from the Wikipedia article for Pokemon Red and Blue, showing the release year of 1996, roughly a decade after the first Megami Tensei games. The Megami Tensei release timeline from the Wikipedia article for the franchise. It shows that there were 5 entries in the series (and a compilation of the first two games) released between 1987 and 1996, when Pokemon first released.

Oh, good. Was worried my LoZ posting would not be seen by people (I'm sure someone else did this joke before me, but it wasn't anyone I follow)

I did it once and I'd do it again if I could (Bluesky image preview is really not doing me any favors here...)
Image from my Steam Wishlist showing that I wishlisted the game Downhill on 6/25/25 because it looks like a really cool game. Unfortunately Bluesky's clipping didn't do me any favors with the preview, so I'm glad you clicked through to see the full image, dear viewer.

The last four games I played. Journey to the Savage Planet would have been on here, too, but an update to Scarmonde caused issues with Proton on my Steam Deck, so I jumped over to another @ephiam.bsky.social game, Venaitura (Ephiam fixed the Scarmonde issue within hours)

Can't resist the chance to share my top 4 Final Fantasy games. Maybe not the most controversial of takes, but also not exactly the most mainstream (VII would be next in fifth place)

It's not as high on the list (which almost has 900 items at this point) but it's there. Based on your recommendation, though, I might move it up a few spots!

I've been trying to get back into solo gamedev while also keeping up with the studio I'm interning/volunteering for (I hope to be able to share more about that very soon!). I've actually been happy with my progress. This is a beast of a blueprint that handles enemy AI during battle.
A large Unreal blueprint that is mostly blurry and hard to read. It's also still a WIP, so I didn't intend for it to be very legible.

Iria: Zeiram the Animation
A clip from the Anime OVA Iria: Zeiram the Animation. The titular Iria is running from pursuers who are firing lasers in her general direction. She jumps and spins mid-air, pointing her own weapon back in the direction of the gunfire. A more well aimed laser shot slices across her face below her left eye.

Unfortunately that premise doesn't help people who expected a purely turn-based game and got one that requires precision timing for parrying & dodging. Sure, it's kinda on them for not doing their research, but putting it in the 'turn-based' box and hoping story will sell it does them a disservice.
A negative Steam review for Clair Obscur stating that the game is Souls-like and not for the "casual gamer". A negative Steam review for Clair Obscur stating that it is a wonderful game, but the perfect parry/dodge requirements made it not for them. A negative Steam review for Clair Obscur stating that, while they love tunr-based RPGs, they do not love this because of the dodge and parry system. A negative Steam review for Clair Obscur stating that they're sure it is a fantastic game but that they hate the dodge and parry mechanics in a turn-based game.

@rittzler.bsky.social @squidly.newgrounds.com This moment on my feed amused me greatly.
An image of two back-to-back Bluesky posts on my feed from two different game developers, Rittzler and Squidly. Both were reacting to a moment in the switch 2 direct sharing a near identical sentiment: "DS download play is back, let's go!"

It might not be for you, but calling it a 'trashheap' isn't exactly fair considering that it is a beloved game by many for whom it did click for. Not enjoying the game is totally valid, though, and I think either casual mode or watching the cutscenes would be a perfectly valid way to experience it

Post you from a different era.

Proof that I had hair once upon a time. This was my senior year of HS, when I was 18. Pretty sure I edited this one a bit because I was sensitive about my acne.

You help people in your own way and you can inspire others to help in their ways. If you've made the world a bit brighter for even one person, it's enough.
An adaptation of a short story by Loren Eiseley. This adaptation is titled 'The Starfish Story': "An old man was walking on the beach one morning after a storm. In the distance, he could see someone moving like a dancer. As he came closer, he saw that it was a young woman picking up starfish and gently throwing them into the ocean. "Young lady, Why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" "The sun is up, and the tide is going out, and if I do not throw them in they will die," she said. "But young lady, do you not realize that there are many miles of beach and thousands of starfish? You cannot possibly make a difference." The young woman listened politely, then bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the sea. "It made a difference for that one.""

According to past you, we're about 2.5 years away from when we'll start seeing Garfield from you more frequently
An SMBC comic from June of 2007. The image shows a man writing the words "And then he fu**ing died!" (the 'ck' are covered by his thumb) below what is clearly a Garfield comic. The caption above the comic reads "SMBC from the future! June 18, 2027: Running low on ideas, Zach begins captioning other people's comics."

(Twitter image is from 2021 at the latest, so the before times, when it actually was still Twitter)
A quote retweet from Twitter in the before times (when it was still actually Twitter). The original post shows an image of a water dispensing machine with a logo saying "Simply Pure H2O4U." The caption from the user 'Josh Trebach, MD' says "alright hold up now." The person retweeting, 'Dr. Siiri Takala', added "Please under no circumstances drink uranium dioxideperoxide." A screenshot from Reddit in response to the previous picture. The first poster, 'Atlantic14', says "It can also be written OOO(UHOH)." The reply from 'TheZyde' says "That's the sound I make after drinking it."

An edit of a picture taken out of an airplane window. The scenery below the plane has been replaced with the map screen from the video game Skyrim. The picture is styled like a Snapchat message/story, with the caption "I think my pilot took a wrong turn :skull emoji:" A picture from inside of an airplane edited to add the character Ralof from the video game Skyrim saying, "Hey, you. You're finally awake."
