Gutted about the news from Bioware. Loved their games, but just, hate seeing more studios shuttered because of corporate greed. I can't imagine what folks in the industry are going through right now. Hope everyone is able to land on their feet.

Just a shout-out to @bonedustpress.bsky.social I got the chance to read This Mortal Coil and really enjoyed it! The illustrated chapter starts were also wonderful.

If ya'll missed it, the wonderful team at @whimindie.com launched their Kickstarter for Delivery Issues. Definitely worth a look if you enjoy #2D #platformers buy #indie #devs #videogame nerdvana.co/gaming/whim-...

Reading the Terms and Conditions of @ledgerbound.bsky.social (a game about running insurance claims) and the fine print did not disappoint. #games #indie #fanart

Organized my #SlamThrone packs! Tackle boxes for the win.

Had the opportunity to chat with @aluhnim.bsky.social at #paxwest for a minute. Not only were they incredibly humble, they also let me know their comic offerings were available for free online. It didn't stop me from buying three comics from them, but spoke volumes about their character.

One thing I absolutely enjoyed about PAX West was the amount of #Destiny love there was. Folks were exuberant about the game. How they run raids, introduce others, and plan to keep playing till the lights go out. It was just so wonderful to have the opportunity to interact like that.

Another quite nice cosplayer showed off their #FFXIV Culinarian cosplay and was handing out small pies they baked themselves! #PaxWest #FF14 #cosplay

I've seen early builds of Delivery Issues and it looks every bit the silly, lighthearted fun I need. Looking forward to when the team fully releases this one!

Up in the FMV gallery at #PaxWest is one of the cutest and dang creative games I've seen at the show. @fogtownseries.bsky.social is showing off A Rum Case in Fogtown alongside their puppets!

Spotted this lovely Monoco cosplayer and they gave me a random fruit roll up 😁 #Monoco #E33 #ClairObscur #Expedition33 #PaxWest #Pax

Tried this just now at #PaxWest and it's such a fantastic vibe. Can't wait to see it finally released!

Video game companies keep trying to bait and switch us with AI, and it sucks aftermath.site/1666-amsterdam...

Starting to get excited for #paxwest this week. Lots of games I wanna try and friends to see!

I don’t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, and that will be lost.

Figured the case for the Steam Deck needed some insight:

What kills me about Destiny 2 ending is that Lodi is cooking with all his reflections about what comes next with nothing coming 😭 www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWW8...

Revisiting Destiny 2 with my friends has been a nostalgia trip for sure. Bittersweet, but I'm gonna give it a lovely send-off by playing the living daylights out of it for the Triumph. Transmat firing!

2. Ghost Shells (2023) commissioned by the folks at ishtar-collective.net I’d been using their site to read lore since D1; getting to know the people who run it & the wholesome community they’ve built was already amazing, but getting asked to make art for their website? 💗

The idea had been on my mind for a long time, but I finally took the plunge: so here’s a new piece of fan art of Dragon Age: Veilguard (the colours and composition really gave me a hard time this time!). #dragonage #fanartㅤㅤㅤ #digitalartㅤㅤㅤㅤ #lucanis #emmrich #neve #rook

And I also got the fantastic opportunity to speak with Larry Kuperman, formerly of @nightdivestudios.bsky.social, about his perspective of the #gaming industry at large and how he strives to give back to it. #indies #igda #atari #gaming nerdvana.co/gaming/larry...

I also talked with the Modern Games team about their new title #Aerthlings which marries up blindbox minifigs with a fun exploratory mobile game. #minifig #indie #LVLUPEXPO #mobile #videogame #gaming nerdvana.co/gaming/aerth...

I have been terrible about posting but I got the awesome opportunity to talk with several developers at #LVLUPEXPO. One of which was Game Over Productions with their title #LuchaLoka from a small but mighty #mexican #indie team. #beatemup #co-op nerdvana.co/gaming/lucha...

'We've been a little bit too romantic about the idea that we should have employees and give people long-term job security' is an extraordinary thing for a video games CEO to say on record: aftermath.site/video-game-job...

ICYMI: Relive the quarter-eating days at the arcade with 'Spellbearers'

It's been ages since I played Smash TV and @whimindie.com 's Spellbearers fit that bill perfectly with its fun spell-flinging wizards and room to room chaos. nerdvana.co/gaming/reliv... #retro #indiedev #indiegame #magic #nintendoswitch #twinstick

What's he saying?

Thank you @nerdvana.bsky.social for the coverage at Game On Expo!
