@pippinbarr I can't wait for the next season

@murthynikhil Always an exciting moment for us!

Anthology of the Killer is on Steam now. It's what the folks in the biz call a "masterpiece" so if you don't already own it, it's a bit of a must-have. It's on itch too, I assume with the same added features (the bonus rooms are not to be missed). thecatamites.itch.io/anthology-of-t…

Anthology Of The Killer is out on Steam now. A brilliantly funny series of horror-comedy shorts (all adding up to one big narrative) from the creator of Space Funeral, Goblet Grotto and many other extremely weird things. Huge recommendation to all. store.steampowered.com/app/3212530/An…

october 7th permanently shaped postcolonial studies as a discipline in that it revealed beyond all doubt just how many scholars are careerist unprincipled charlatans who wouldn’t know what solidarity looked like even if it set up camp occupying the center of campus for weeks

Canadian games folks/developers! If you had a video game release this year or are having it release before the year ends—please, make yourself known to me, please! If your game is solely/mostly Canadian-developed—then I would very much love to email you! Please, retweet/aid!

This is a very interesting look behind the scenes of an almost collaboration. rockpapershotgun.com/would-you-play…

On Some Goodbyes We Made, a game that I'm definitely going to play and one that's definitely going to hurt me. rockpapershotgun.com/some-goodbyes-…

The @dirigiblebill x @rockpapershot work has been absolutely fantastic and this piece on the FADT of labyrinths is excellent. rockpapershotgun.com/in-praise-of-l…

I hate to brag but I'm going to do it anyway. My game won the IGF Design Award, has an overwhelmingly positive rating on Steam, and all proceeds go to funding an undead takeover which surely cannot be worse than anything that living politicians are proposing. Buy it, you churls!

i'm going to do it. i'm going to make a thread of rpg maker games that indie devs might look to for inspiration instead of chrono trigger

I'm working on a diffracted erasure which explores circularity in poetics and the need of many English lyric poems to go back where they came from, resolve their inciting impulse. If you have read/written anything similar I would appreciate hearing about it so I can steal from it

Students and faculty of IISc!! Sign the letter and put pressure on them to cancel the India-Israel Business Summit scheduled on Monday! docs.google.com/forms/d/1RQkrB…

i'm not sure how to say this or who needs to hear it but you *can* leave the games industry and still make games

I wrote an introduction for a @studiooleomingu exhibit a while ago and finally put it up myself now. I'm honestly really proud of it. It's one of the best postcolonial pieces that I've written. whynotgames.in/2024/09/15/ole…
