To celebrate hitting 14,000 followers on Bluesky, I'm... gonna shake my tip jars on Ko-Fi and Paypal below, because work's been slow this month and I've got a house move coming up at the end of April...
But I'll be also posting a big thread of cool games with under 100 Steam reviews! LET'S GOOOOOO!

Why does the theme to Homes Under the Hammer fit the Persona 5 intro so perfectly?
See also: the entirety of Superstore season 6.
This is an important period for Aliens: The Video Games. For past books I've not really promoted them hard during pre-order (crowd crowdfunder aside), but this one? I need to get those sales earlier than not. So while pre-ordering isn't for everyone (it's rarely for me), if you can: appreciated!

DYK? I help to run an indie game showcase called Convergence. (Feb highlights: www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6ai... ). It's great. Between shows, the wonderful @dominictarason.com writes a newsletter packed with new games, industry news and (soon!) code giveaways: convergenceshow.substack.com Subscribe!
I didn't mind that Ferris bueller skipped school because i enjoyed the character

It's Steam Sale time! Everything that I play and recommend gets added to my Curator page below. Want the deep cuts? Pick Discounts and scroll down - it's ranked by revenue, so the deeper you go, the more obscure the games get.
Also, always check IsThereAnyDeal to see if it's cheaper elsewhere!
I Got Slammed In The Back of a Dragula. Here's What It Taught Me About Optimizing My Workflow For Success In Today's Changing Market:
My game Rhell is OUT NOW

My game Rhell, is a creativity based puzzle game where you can use 100,000,000 spells and solve puzzles in your own unique way
It's all about having fun and being creative so every puzzle has multiple possible solutions

Sorry. It is good though, eh.
π¨ It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

And finally (because I'm waffling), I'm open to full time and freelance opportunities in video/editorial/community/pr and also I am now able to produce sponsored content for youtube.com/platform32 so if you're looking, come say hi! Big love to you all and thanks for the wonderful memories <3
I shall continue posting about cool videogames until morale improves. Both yours and mine.
Because god DAMN the world is a nightmare right now in so many hideously tangible ways.
But - and this bears repeating - videogames are the best they've ever been. Even if the industry making them is broken.
"In order to get elected BarackObama will start a war with Iran" - Trump, Nov 29, 2011 "BarackObama will attack Iran to get re-elected." - Trump, Jan 17, 2012 "Now that Obama's poll numbers are in tailspin - watch for him to launch a strike on Libya or Iran. He is desperate." - Trump, Oct 9, 2012 "I predict that President Obama will at some point start a war with Iran in order to save face!" - Trump, Sept 16, 2013 "Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly - not skilled!" - Trump, Nov 11, 2013

Well then. After 9 years my role of Editorial Director at Eurogamer/IGNE has been made redundant. If youβre reading this and feel I have a lot of valuable experience (I do), Iβm keen to explore any opportunities (full time, consulting, other) in the games industry. I am great.
Grid-based tactics and deckbuilders are very much Not My Thing, but Death Howl's alchemic combination of the two enthrals me in ways I don't fully understand. Every facet - art, soundtrack, story, atmosphere, structure - is so well-considered. Gah. So good.

For no reason, here's what Yoshi sounds like eating an enemy in Mario is Missing on PC.
Bumped it a couple times yesterday, but it bears repeating: If you have ANY interest in FPS games at all, this bundle is $17 of the best dollars you could EVER spend.
6.5 games (I recommend ticking the box to add Cultic Part 2 to the mix) that I have only praise for. And Selaco's only half done!
