hello, new game!! Snake's Digits 🐍🖐 😤 snake hungry, but snake no like mess. 🧹 snake tidy up. ✌️ snake count snake's digits. 🍽️ snake eat! 😬 ... but snake fragile. made for #pico1k, holds in 1023 bytes!! #pico8 #nerd play now! punkcake.itch.io/snake-digits
came across this great vid by @pentadact.com!! it clarifies a lot about a pretty new style of games one of the 100 insightful points he makes is that info games work best when they’re telling human stories cos those are fuzzy and familiar and we can make assumptions about em.

It's TIME! TO! GET! HYPE! Today, I get to proudly unveil Steam Hype, the project I've been working on with the help of @hookshot.media for the past two and a half months. A new PC gaming site which aims to demystify PC gaming, cut through the 100+ daily releases and spotlight indies as much as AAA

folks you can dip your toes into the biggest, deepest, fastest brough-like of all time right in your desktop browser, right now hatch some quality schemes and let your mind boggle at how wild even the tip of the iceberg can get !!
You can now play the 868-BACK demo on web browser! 👾 finji.itch.io/868-back 868-BACK is a computer-hacking roguelike strategy game inspired by dungeon crawlers—but the dungeons are computer servers, and your weapons are illicit software tools!

a while back my grandad crashed a drone into the top of a very tall tree me and my brother spent like 3 hours trying to get it down with ropes and pulleys and shit, not knowing if it was possible eventually we got it, and now we laugh about it all the time Mosa Lina is a lot like that (:
