society after discovering agriculture:

cinco paus is the brough i've played the most, pretty much continuously since early 2018, and i still haven't found the bottom of it. we have to resort to oceanography for a metaphor about its depth. you can hear me learning several mind-blowing facts about the game in the scope of just this episode

thrilled to finally make it to a picotachi and beyond honored to speak at one! talked about A JACKPOT OF SKULLS and how we fit 41 pages of narrative into 8,192 tokens and 15.3k compressed bytes. also did the whole talk in five minutes because of course there'd be a hard constraint at the #pico8 cafe

nine games huh? (negotiating) i can do five games. no i won't use the graphics template. yes i will talk about each of them extensively. yes there will be a biographical component. what can i do to get this over the line? ok i'll throw in @simonparkin.bsky.social www.myperfectconsole.com/episode/167

reposting phil on THE RAVEN SCHOLAR here because i took his rec a month ago and this is my co-recommendation that you (perhaps a fellow book liker) might enjoy doing the same! manages to be inventive and surprising within the constraints of being a real fantasy-novel-ass fantasy novel. so funny too!

#pico8 now has the most officially published cartridges of any console in history. Well done everyone.
