You don’t even need a box cutter to do this. Just invite a bunch of young kids over and they will flatten your game boxes themselves by accidentally sitting on them

Investors dumped money into the digital item market amid concerns about the S&P 500 and crypto. Then, last night, Valve pushed a market-breaking update to the game

Hey wanna see some cool experimental clicker / idle / incremental games?

Last month for the final project in my 'economics for game designers' class at @nyugamecenter.bsky.social, students made some *incredible* incremental games, so I wanted to do a thread showing off their work!

I'm sick with Covid, so I made this, an idea I've had for MONTHS now, Street Fighter 6 with Hanna Barbera Sound effects.

I'm already loving this little idler toy, Cornerpond. It fits perfectly among all the other crap on my desktop. Make my entire life into a fishing mini-game pleeeease

some interesting historical context re: stories of "chatGPT-induced psychosis" is that when the radio and telephone were invented, there were similar reactions — some people believed they could tune their radio to the frequencies of heaven or received instructions from the dead via the telephone

Just beat Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom! Here's my review:

👍👍 Opportunities for creative problem-solving
👍👍 Huge variety of dungeon puzzles
👍 Great music + aesthetic
🫤 Clunky menu UI
👎 Boss fights are too easily won by spamming echoes

Just beat Skyward Sword. Not my fav Zelda game but there were things I liked about it.

👍👍 Dungeon puzzles
👍 Boss fights
👍 Combat
🫤 Nice yet unmemorable music
👎 Everything is super linear
👎 Controls (even non-motion controls are bleh)
👎👎 Boring overworld traversal
