Cheeky lil lunchtime stream, stop by 🚌🚌

El Paso, Elsewhere 2 is everything that sequels should be: an evolution of a sturdy foundation and a celebration of the growth of its characters. Read our preview for insights from @strangescaffold.bsky.social's @writnelson.bsky.social and impressions of the demo available on Steam today!

Trivia Murder Party 3 makes a jump to 3D and adds online matchmaking, progression, and gameplay modifiers called Plot Twists. Its shiny new features have promise but are implemented imperfectly — for now, with 6 - 12 months of Early Access refinement ahead. Our impressions:

Honestly better survival rates than I expected, we had some close calls 🤷 @naetoid.bsky.social is up!

I’m live on Twitch, babes!! 💜 We’re cooking’ up some treats for some *totally normal* critters in Creature Kitchen today! twitch.tv/aspecificegg

little a hope, anybody?

I helped make a Steam Sale, and it's right next to Control: Resonant! gdoc.events/sale2026 Fantastic sale filled with games made by people of color from AROUND THE WORLD. Check it out! (And please share it too 😉)

Going live with the final part of my Endacopia playthrough right now! So happy I decided to stream this one, it's truly a delight and it's rare that I get to just be so unabashedly in love with a game on stream. I'm always running an event or doing second playthroughs. It's fun. <3 Come watch!

Just grabbin some snacks 🍴 [ #cuteart #traditionalart #artshop ]

🍄‍🟫 Shroom and Gloom is a delicious double-decker, with both exploration and combat decks to build for all kinds of unique synergies, super absorbing gameplay, and some absurd visuals. Our (unscored) thoughts on the roguelike deckbuilder, out now in Early Access from @teamlazerbeam.bsky.social.

Happy birthday to meeeee cancelling all plans

The time is right for some space adventure co-op. Come hang out with @naetoid.bsky.social and @fernfolk.bsky.social for some Orbitals! ~ live now at twitch.tv/Naetoid

Live with Part 2 of my Endacopia playthrough. This has been everything I hoped it would be and more. Genuinely no idea what's coming next, but hope you'll come find out with me. Live now at twitch.tv/Naetoid! The comeback continues!

Hey folks! I played the demo for Endacopia and knew it was gonna be something special and it has since BLOWN UP but I'm excited to check it out on stream. <3 Come watch! twitch.tv/Naetoid

emerges awesomely and cutely

If there's anything we eat up at VGG, it's a metanarrative about game development that secretly houses a deep deduction game, all wrapped up in a nostalgic wrapping of '90s RPG goodies. And that's exactly what the ambitious TROTEOTGRPGOAT is. Blame @lucasimmanuel.bsky.social for the name.

This week's video game releases include the likes of D-topia, The Incident at Galley House, The Mermaid Mask, Desktop Explorer, and more (puzzles galore 👀). Our curated July games calendar is live on Patreon and free as always.

With @naetoid.bsky.social and @fernfolk.bsky.social having played 100+ demos (so far 😱) between Summer Game Fest Week and Steam Next Fest, here are 4 of our favorites — all featured during the 2026 PC Gaming Show, and all still available to play now!

Will definitely be keeping tabs on Patience Is A Virtue! It has so much character already with its early demo.

Our own cap to Summer Game Fest every year is choosing from amongst the hundreds of games shown and each naming the one that excited and spoke to us most. @naetoid.bsky.social, @fernfolk.bsky.social, @fishpastegg.bsky.social, and members of our Twitch chat have all made their Best of Show picks.

It was super fun to be able to hang out at @panic.com HQ, as folks who've loved so much of what that crew has done in the indie scene. And even more fun to be able to talk and play Big Walk from @househouse.com, a game that has been one of our most anticipated since its reveal. Watch (or read)!

Another day at the live react factory.

Reflection

if I seem militant about AI it's because a lot of my friends are writers, concept artists, QA people, etc, and they are the ones who are currently having their careers obliterated by that shit. not speculatively. happening right now. I don't see a need to be soft towards ppl who shrug at that

I had so much fun writing this one because Truth Scrapper has already lit my brain on fire with its potential. @insertdisc5.com is cooking something special up here and you should definitely be keeping an eye on this one. Because we're already freaking out after just an hour spent with it.

For Day 2, our hosts had their work cut out for them on a day full of bangers Nate picked the stunning nonogram RPG PUTRID/SHARP @unseconds.bsky.social Fern grabbed Beastfolk Barber, a barbershop sim from one of their favorite devs and Fish appropriately chose Fishing Echoes @wrong-sean.bsky.social

In our Day 1 highlights video, we spotlighted some true gems. Nate highlighted the incredibly stylish RPG @toadabrava.bsky.social Fern highlighted the cutesy and emotional (?!) Come to my party! @simsangy8n.bsky.social and Fish highlighted the moody REST STOP from @antparade-games.bsky.social

We're live now for a look at the PC Gaming Show by @pcgaming.bsky.social! It's the last show of the weekend we'll be watching live together. Swing by twitch.tv/Naetoid.
