The morning for gamers… #silksong #gaming
A two-panel meme from The Fairly OddParents featuring Timmy’s dad gesturing to an empty pedestal. Top text: “THIS IS WHERE I WOULD PUT SILKSONG.” Bottom text: “IF I COULD DOWNLOAD IT!” The joke highlights fans’ frustration at the long wait for the game Hollow Knight: Silksong and current technical difficulties at launch.

Finishing up our PAX West content from the weekend and just as a note for all the #indiegamedev folks out there: please include 5-10 min of b-roll in your press kits! Support helpfully for quick content generation and more eyes/interest in the game based on gameplay. #indiegame #gaming #paxwest
A popular meme image of Bernie Sanders standing outdoors in a winter coat and gloves. The top caption reads, “I AM ONCE AGAIN ASKING INDIE GAME DEVS,” and the bottom caption continues, “FOR B-ROLL FOOTAGE IN YOUR PRESS KITS.” The meme humorously adapts Sanders’ well-known campaign video plea into a call for indie developers to include usable gameplay footage in their press kits.

Balatro meets Black Jack in Black Jacket! Utilize exploits, customize your deck, and shoot for 21!

It’s a gamble for your soul - check it out if you’re at #paxwest at Skystone games (behind Larian) #indiegame
A booth at a gaming convention featuring two games from Skystone Games. On the left, a large maroon wall displays the title “BLACK JACKET” in bold white text with a QR code beside it. On the right, a colorful illustrated banner advertises “Tiny Book Shop,” showing a whimsical mobile book cart surrounded by characters reading, chatting, and relaxing outdoors, with a large black cat in the foreground. Multiple attendees are gathered in front of the booth, playing demos on computer monitors. A close-up of a computer monitor showing gameplay from a card-based video game. The screen features a stylized playing field with various cards laid out, including numbered suits and special cards labeled “Insight.” A glowing red die with the number 14 and a blue die with 18 are visible in the center, representing competing values. The interface shows resource counters on the right for “Winner’s Pot” and “Stash,” while text at the top reads “Work In Progress: Cheater’s Folly.”

IDW’s new Casey Jones series is here, and it’s a hard-hitting, gritty thrill ride. The raw, kinetic art pops off the page, and it’s an awesome expansion of the TMNT universe that fans won’t want to miss! FOC is today so…hop to it! 🐢🏒 #TMNT #CaseyJones #IDWComics @greggkatzman.bsky.social

An all-timer.
Superman soars through the sky, carrying both a child and a suited astronaut. As the child questions him about saving the astronaut, Superman answers with quiet determination. The final panel shows a close-up of Superman’s boots and cape as he responds to whether he’ll help everyone: “No. But I’m going to try.” The artwork is emotive and grounded, underscoring Superman’s compassion and moral commitment. Here’s a transcription of the dialogue: ⸻ Child: “Why didn’t he die? Did you find the cure? Is that why he was saying thank you?” Superman: “Yes.” Child: “Was it hard to find the cure?” Superman: “Yes.” ⸻ Child: “Why did you help him?” Superman: “Because he needed it.” Child: “Don’t other people need help?” Superman: “They do.” Child: “Are you going to help everyone?” ⸻ Superman (close-up on his feet and cape): “No. But I’m going to try.”

Then, traded in that Surge Lightning for two more collector boosters and pulled these beauties from the SAME PACK! Overall very happy! Thanks #magiccon - it was a blast!
A person is holding two Magic: The Gathering cards featuring characters from Final Fantasy. The left card shows “Tidus, Yuna’s Guardian,” a Legendary Creature – Human Warrior with blond hair and a cheerful expression. The right card features “Vivi Ornitier,” a small black mage with glowing yellow eyes and a wide-brimmed hat, titled as a Legendary Creature – Wizard. Both cards are in protective sleeves and have a foil finish.

Crazy pulls this morning at MagicCon (a tale in two parts)

First, sold my duplicates and got a collector booster…pulled Lightning: Army of One Surge foil (value ~$300)
A person is holding a foil Magic: The Gathering card titled “Lightning, Army of One.” The card features artwork of Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII, wielding a glowing sword. It is a red and white Legendary Creature – Human Soldier with the abilities First strike, trample, and lifelink. It also has a keyword ability called Stagger, which causes sources to deal double damage to a player or their permanents if Lightning has dealt combat damage to them this turn. The card’s power and toughness are 3/2.
