The “hands-on-hips” lecture.
Remember those?

I've been VORACIOUSLY playing and cannot recommend enough @iridiumstudios.bsky.social 's People of Note and @outerloopgames.bsky.social 's Dosa Divas -- you turn-based RPG sickos need to get in on this, you can even get them in a bundle on Steam! store.steampowered.com/bundle/72037...
We're not gonna tell you anything about the games in this bundle. These are experiences best entered knowing as little as possible.

It’s been a full year since we launched @lushfoil.bsky.social Photography Sim.
Thank you to all who’ve chased light and shadow with us.
An important message about MIXTAPE.

Thank you to everyone who’s taken the time to play People of Note from @iridiumstudios.bsky.social.
We’re all incredibly grateful for your support.
Hell yeah. @remysiu.com explained this game to me over a year ago and I was way into it, but did not know how they’d pull it off. Then I saw the trailer and was like “my god, y’all did it.”
Congrats on the reveal @sunsetvisitor.studio - cannot wait to experience this.
Yeah, I've already transferred everything to tomorrow. :(
TFW it's near the end of the day and you look at the "to do list" you made in the morning and say out loud "Wow, I didn't do any of *that* shit."
The rhythm-based RPG People Of Note emphasizes how independent developers have revolutionized the rhythm game. www.avclub.com/rhythm-games...
Sorry this is how you have to learn about it. I had a seance communication with a Bomb Pop from the 70s this past weekend.
My point is, I believe that the ghosts of ice cream trucks past are haunting us.
At some point last year, I heard the very clear and obvious music of an ice cream truck in my neighborhood. I ran like a child to get cash, so I could buy an ugly Sonic the Hedgehog ice cream bar. But when I went out to look, it was gone. Nowhere to be found.

Play People of Note.
We're lucky enough to be working with Pilotpriest on the soundtrack for Silent Hill: Townfall. It's really stellar work, and we shared a track today. If you're confronting your own guilt, shame, unresolved trauma, or just like haunting piano motifs, this is for you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfDN...
So I busted out my OLED Switch, and because I have some of my own "Virtual Game Cards" loaded on my broken Switch 2, I can't load them on my OLED Switch because it's asking me to bring my Switch 2 close to the OLED and well, my Switch 2 doesn't work so this is fun. 😔
Jan and Mikey hit the stage to check out the turn-based musical, People of Note! We got the chance to sit down with the game's director and a special friend too!

Congrats to the team at @iridiumstudios.bsky.social. This is a game that has been in Jason's head for years and a true labor of love. Been a lot of fun working with them on this, even though all of the game's musical numbers are stuck in my head on loop now. 🎶
My Switch 2 has stopped working and it's too close to the release of Tomadachi Life for me to be dealing with this.

I liked it! I went in a blind, so there were some twists/turns I wasn't expecting that I really liked. Even when it felt "oh yeah, of course" obvious, I think it was still handled quite well and with good style and tension building. Camila Morrone is great and totally smashed the part.
Technically one of these was an 8 episode one-off series, so like... an eight hour movie?
Related, Haley Z Boston is super great work and one to keep watching. Brand New Cherry Flavor was also wild and I loved it. Can't wait to see what she does next.
A gentle reminder to follow your heart, even if it can sometimes feel off-balance.
Make new memories and recall the ones that matter most in Forever Ago, arriving Fall 2026. bit.ly/4sJdD7Q
People of Note is for all of you pun sickos out there. Case in point:
I own a Japanese VHS copy of this movie and it's a prized possession.
Do you like musical numbers in your turn-based RPGs? Do you love/hate boy bands? This one is for you.
You can do this on April 7 when People of Note comes out. Wishlist and tell your friends.
I never really write trailer reactions and I have never really had any noteworthy ones until Forever Ago.
A little bit of news and why I cried here 👇🏽👇🏽
Embark on an unforgettable road trip as Alfred, searching for redemption in this heartfelt narrative-driven adventure about broken dreams, loss, courage, and true friendship 🐶
Coming this Fall to PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2
Excited to "re-announce" Forever Ago!
