An update on Next Fest content

It's finally time for Next Fest! Internet has been a little iffy so we'll see how this goes! Come on in and let's see some cool demos! twitch.tv/bigslicegaming

Halloween Horror Nights is still fun even when it’s been raining the entire time

Another completed game in the books

Hey all, sorry for the silence and lack of streaming and demo videos. I’ve been in the middle of moving and then going on vacation. I do want to stream as soon as I’m able, to play a few games I need to play for stream and I’m looking forward to getting back to playing more demos!

I found a bottle of Buffalo Trace for $25 at one of my local gas stations. It was the last bottle and apparently I was the like the 3rd person to get a bottle in that store that day. I didn’t even go in for that, I was getting myself dinner lol. But I’ve never seen it sold below $30

First Time Founder discount Pack available for this week: Games Business 101, Direction 101, Production 101, and Teams 101 to get you up to speed starting an indie studio with a small team. Get €30 off on this four-pack all of this week! courses.ramiismail.com/packs/first-...

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

The real question to ask is...can we pet it?

I yearn for crab rangoons

So what’s with this AI Gaming Festival on Steam I’m hearing about? Apparently it’s a Third Party Festival? How does third party festivals even work? What role does Steam play in it and why is a GenAI curation allowed to exist?

Finally got the Weekly Demo Patch posted! So now it's time to play even more demos! twitch.tv/bigslicegaming

This week we played a Lovecraft inspired Stardew Valley clone, a magic filled metroidvania, and a card battler with an intriguing twist! bigslicegaming.substack.com/p/weekly-dem...

Creating this no-ai indie games starter pack is one of the best things I ever did on BlueSky. Lots of great developers in here, making things with their own hands, some of whom I might not have found otherwise!! go.bsky.app/78u8M6Y

I'm back playing September demos! Get in here and let's check out some cool upcoming games! twitch.tv/bigslicegaming

I could really go for just a couple fat all beef hot dogs and crinkle fries

I’m the age of gamer that does not care about skill anymore. If I’m not having fun anymore, I’m dropping the difficulty down lol. I’m now playing Resident Evil Requiem on Casual and I’m going to enjoy a nice breezy atmospheric time until I roll credits lol

Did anyone else’s notifications like reset to Unread? I opened Bluesky and it just said 30+ notifications and I was like “Oh no, what did I say??”

Last stream for August demos! Only have a couple left to do and then we might play another game depending on time! Get in here! twitch.tv/bigslicegaming

I’m having a very unfun 💩

Don’t boycott GTA VI. Fight for justice for the people who made it: youtube.com/shorts/hhIES... T-shirt preorders open now! All proceeds from the t-shirts, which are ethically made and designed by us, will go towards the fired Rockstar workers’ legal funds. bit.ly/4xLc4IP

A lot of "well I'm boycotting it anyway" quotes sort of missing the point that a boycott is a specific tool you deploy with a purpose. I think it's the right move to sidestep trying to make a public dent in what *will* be an immensely high-selling game in favour of directly asking for legal support.

Marx’s Labor Theory of Value states a product’s worth is determined by the level of effort required to create it. People intuitively understand that a thing made without effort isn’t worth their time or money.

Absolutely wild that there’s a word for underpants that the British use. Knickers. But with an American accent, it feels very dangerous to say out loud.

Back to the demo grind! We're checking out more demos right now! Get in here and check out some cool indie games! #IndieGameSpotlight #indiegames #smallstreamersupport twitch.tv/bigslicegaming

Start your day with an hour of reading instead of being on social media, doomscrolling.

tech industry be vibe coding like 😒🤚 five nines 😌👉 five neins

I keep seeing ads for this company called Whskey Library that will send you a couple bottles based on the results of a taste survey and they’re bottles that you can’t find in chain stores. Thinking about splurging some overtime money on a box.

If you haven't worked in the industry in the last two years because you've been unable to find a job, it'll boot you out of the survey. So say you're self-employed.

Man, I loved Patrice Desolets. The all in on AI move from him and that studio is so disappointing.

Back to the demo grind! We're checking out more demos right now! Get in here and check out some cool indie games! #gaming #gamedemos #indiegames #IndieGameSpotlight twitch.tv/bigslicegaming

Fortnite is finally fulfilling the meme

Guys Anomaly President is really good. I had it on my demo list and unfortunately didn’t get to it that week, but I got a key for the game on Keymailer so I was streaming the yesterday and the day before and I just want to play more lol

Today, my alarm clock didn’t wake me up. My bowels did, very rudely.

We checked out a spiritual successor to 007 Golden Eye, an incremental space salvaging game, and a plant-based city builder! #SuperDemoBros #GameDemos #WeeklyDemoBatch bigslicegaming.substack.com/p/weekly-dem...

Fauci and his lawyers knew that that hearing was nothing more than a perjury trap set up by Rand Paul. That’s why they refused to ask questions.

We're live and talking demos today! With @bigslicegaming.bsky.social & @foxxysteve.bsky.social Twitch.tv/neonpocketdimension

If you have beef and live in Florida or Texas, look further and check your meat

Genuine question because someone called it out to me. Are non-binary folks considered trans because they do not identify with their gaab? Asking followers in the LGBTQIA+ community because I didn’t know this.

Day trip to the Field Museum with the wife!

Happiness is not a destination. It’s a direction.

The realization that every morning after I had a Factor meal for dinner, I don’t feel like shit. Like significantly less heartburn, no additional lethargy to just being sleepy. I never realized how much of a difference portion control and more fiber from veggies every night would make a difference
