It *only* took a full month, but all parts of my Pillars of Eternity playthrough are now up and available to watch in order in the playlist below, with the finale episode being an 8 hour doozy with time stamps: [Deadfire will be recorded SOON(tm) and uploaded LATER(tm)] youtube.com/playlist?lis...

10) Probably Stolen: A very chill pawn shop management game that does a very good job drip-feeding its systems and services and alot of different background professions planned for the full release that should make each one feel unique Steam Page:

9) Last Moon: A hand-drawn Zelda-like in the family of Tunic and Death's Door that is another BANGER of an almost 2 hour demo. It introduces most of its combat/exploration/upgrade systems while showing about 10% of the full game. The exact type of game you'd see @ironpineapple.bsky.social showcase

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

There are people, even some trans people, who think that we can give up sports to appease bigots. That if we give up on sports, this all goes away. That is a lie. I have reported on this for years, and EVERY state that passed a sports ban as a moderate compromise has gone on to pass worse.

It always comes back to this for me; if AI was so good, such a disclosure would be a selling point. If AI was everything these slop jockeys said it was, they should be proud to let people know their game was AI made. But the proof is in the pudding, and they can't stand that people don't want it.

The sleeping Queen has begun to stir… Set out to find your father and uncover the dark secrets of a mysterious interconnected island in this retro-fantasy action RPG ⚔️ Queen’s Domain launches in 1 week!

genuinely evil behavior from vivek ramaswamy, and most of the state will still vote for him. how do you even handle a country filled with so many morally and spiritually bankrupt individuals

8) The Road of Dust and Sorrow: A 2D-pixel art "cozy horror" game with a focus on narrative and environmental exploration/puzzles over combat. The demo covers Act 1 and establishes the introductory stakes very well while wearing its inspirations on its sleeve Steam Page:

7) Queen's Domain: @caseyexplosion.bsky.social and @ironpineapple.bsky.social aren't blowing shit up your ass when they say this is a fantastic game and King's Field-like. And I'm saying this as someone that keeps bouncing off of Lunacid Steam Page:

6) Dungeon Automata: So fucking good you need to play it if you have the 2 hours needed to fully explore the demo. Use visual programming blocks to explore a tower floor-by-floor AND program how your party acts in combat similar to the companion AI in RTwP cRPGs

5) Hillthorn: a detective card game in a similar vein to Cultist Simulator, but simplified; theres no resources or cooldown juggling, you're given cards and 3 ways to interact: Investigate, Talk to, and Explore. Cards are kept on the board as long as they're relevant to the scene/puzzle

4) Crack & Collect: an incremental figurine collector where you're tasked with turning $13 into a cat whose purring gives you luck and an infinitly scalable stretch goal by reselling figurines and keeps whichever ones you like most and/or give the best passive buffs, including some based on memes

3) Gone Feral (via recommendation from @caseyexplosion.bsky.social): Hitman, but youre a serial killer in a voxel furry world with mild roguelite elements between levels and co-op planned with the full release. Plus you can knockout your victims by punching them with a cheeseburger

2) Emberville: the playable prologue for the early access release, it gives you just enough lore right off the bat to explain the magic, skills, and revive mechanics present across the setting while also doing the obligatory "you're a prisoner in a fantasy world, now go escape via combat tutorials"

1) Beastfolk Barber (Granted I played this one before NextFest, but its pushed on my recommendation page soooooo): You are what it says on the tin, a pixel-art barber for a variety of beastfolk with a magitech mirror that let's you preview hairstyles to hopefully match demands

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

"We're just a teeny tiny billion dollar company 🥺. We have to use as much AI as our parent company Microsoft will give us 🥺, we only have 4500 employees and we lost half of our yearly player base so we're down to only 20 million consumers 🥺 paying $70 each, every year. We'll innovate next year 🥺"

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Someone just reblogged this on tumblr with this tag and I just fucking died I've been on this shit for over a decade and it's only getting worse

It's officially pumpkin season, which happens to be a special treat for our ambassador wolves this time of year! 🎃🐺 Although wolves are classified as carnivores, they can sometimes have an omnivorous diet. Along with meat and eggs, wolves may also enjoy fruits like pumpkins. #wolffact
