this may legitimately be the single largest piece I've ever contributed to that could still be described as an article

Kirby Air Riders is not-so-secretly by and for sickos and that's going to limit the broadness of its appeal somewhat but my god this could very easily be someone's forevergame

my history with tiny open source-ish game boxes that make big promises hasn't been great but I'm feeling pretty good about this new one

this isn't fully in the spirit of the prompt but you likely wouldn't expect a Rodney Dangerfield game to be wholly devoid of words, jokes, or Rodney Dangerfield (it's an abstract tiles 'n' numbers game)

Baby Steps manbreaker status: broken

this game is very good but god the control scheme puts my poor wrists directly into the blender. still an admirable adaptation of Foddy and co's ideas into 3D space and has a lot to say. writeup soonish

it may be late in the year but Q-Up is making a case for GOTY conversations

fully fed up with roguelites as of late so I reinstalled Dicey Dungeons and maybe it's the contrast, but wow this game is even better than I remembered

sure you could do a run to gain 0.05% of a stat, or you could play a 20 minute one that ends with giving a girl scout 60 stacks of poison

nothing interesting to post, entertain yourselves for the next hour

oh are we doing mount rushmores of the PS2? ok but I'm going to add a controversial yet brave opinion

I think there are a lot of good RPGs worth playing on the PS2 but almost none of them are top shelf and despite my love of the genre I don't know that my top 10 would include any

learned an egg bite/mini crustless quiche recipe from @charlatanwonder.bsky.social and I have elevated our Egg Game to untold levels

blank version for your own dark purposes, turns out it can make anyone upset across any medium! doesn't even have to be games!

in an attempt to inject nuance into a media discussion I came up with an idea that will make people on the internet deeply upset

first clear of THL in the books

it takes an incredibly, unfathomably confident team to effectively make a 25 hour prologue and end it that way

probably not gonna update this thread that much since I am steeped in spoilers at this point, but the fact that I'm still excited should speak volumes

I'm not normally one to say "hey check out this stuff I bought" but I don't know if I've ever thrifted board games so well before
