And on this note, I absolutely think more people need to go check out The Mermaid Mask from SFB Games - it was my most looked-forward-to game of 2026 and it more than lived up to that. It's great work from @sfbdim.bsky.social, @sfbtom.bsky.social, and team www.theoldswitcharoo.com/blog/quick-r...

Wild Mouse coming back with Revenge of the Mummy sort of feels like its starting the Halloween season in August - and honestly I'm a big fan of all parts of that

The Sins of the Podcasters

Recapping some of the games picked up this summer on Steam, and by far the biggest takeaway for me was that The Mermaid Mask absolutely lived up to the anticipation I've had since playing Tangle Tower a few years ago. Absolutely love what SFB Games is doing www.theoldswitcharoo.com/blog/quick-r...
