Always amazed that entire generations of gamers mispronounce ‘hadouken’ despite hearing it a billion times in the games

So one time:

Ha-doh-ken

Played a few rounds of BIN CHICKEN, which was the Player’s Choice winner at #TGX2026. @sheegoggery.bsky.social married @allymobbs.bsky.social and was divorced at the last moment to have his precious food stolen away. Pretty fun little card game.

Thank you and the rest of the team for making a killer game!

I feel like a lot of people saw pixel art and passed, but it’s seriously got some killer gameplay and the art feels so alive.

Arco is such an underrated gem that YOU probably haven't heard of. Get behind this small team. Even if you don't buy it, play the demo. Tell a friend. Help these folks find the success they so greatly deserve.

Can't wait to see what they do next.

Hey man sorry my schedule was absolutely SLAMMED this trip. I am back in October for MIGW though, so I will see you then :D

OK, this sounds pretty good. I'd also have accepted a plate of smashed avo and a crying mother who realized that you could never move out of home because of the aforementioned smashed avo, but your version sounds tastier.

Talk me through it. Are we looking at some bacon and eggs with snags? Beans? A short stack? I need to know!

ULTRA DUNDEE, by Bad//Dreems 11 track album

The new Bad//Dreems album is a grower, that has infected my mind every time I have a quiet moment. An unassuming classic Aussie rock group that just quietly churns out banger albums.

Quick little jaunt back home to #Melbourne for TGX. It was kinda weird being “home” after 7 long years, but had a blast catching up with old mates, and making new ones along the way.

I’ll be heading back in October for #MIGW so I’ll get to do it all again!

If anyone is willing to share, I would be very appreciative!! 🔧🍃

Me Jason. You’re missing me. And TGX, bust mostly me and my co-workers who worked on Rez and Space Channel 5.

Like a weathered rugged knight passing time by the fire…

You aren’t convincing me to try it. I’ll just play Esoteric Ebb instead.

Are you in Melbourne next week?

But Jason, think about the pace of life it’s is trying to emulate...

In all seriousness I have heard a lot of people say once it gets going it’s one of their favorite games ever. I want to check it out but I’ll probably play the first game as a starting point.

Seriously, it is getting ridiculous the number of great games hitting Steam every week. It makes writing this newsletter easy. It makes playing them all and also doing life incredibly hard.

The number of management teams who say “we’re a family” in 2026 is insane to me. Any worker with half a brain knows that is a giant red flag to be avoided at all costs, particularly in industries where people do it because they love their output so much.

Demon platformers, battle golf, and a couple of dice - Indie Dispatch Hey folks! First of all, big apologies for any spelling errors, and nonsensical musings in this newsletter. I am running on approximately 2.5 hours of sleep due to our game AWAYSIS being featured in I...

Another week of bangers in #indiedispatch today. We're already playing LOVE ETERNAL, which is brutal in a zen-like way.

Super proud of @sheegoggery.bsky.social for making an incredible logo we are both very proud of. We have modest hopes for Indie Dispatch, but so far it's been a great project for the soul.

Also, holy shit, Mewgenics is incredible.

Seriously, I cannot keep up with the number of interesting games that I've already found this year. Time, money. Why can't we have more of that?

Hopefully you find something in this list that strikes your fancy. If you aren't going to buy, throw it on your Wishlist. It really does help!

Staring down the barrel of an insane February and March. We have DICE, and GDC, TGX, and PAX East. Oh, and Steam Next Fest all happening in the next few months.

Thank god a new Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever track dropped in these trying times.

Very excited to launch indiedispatch.online into the world with @sheegoggery.bsky.social. It's way earlier than we expected, and we don't even have the logo yet. But the whole YouTube thing meant we just wanted to hit the ground running.

Woke up to find a tonne of snow. Literally going to be walking 3kms in the snow to work today.

I really love living in Shiga. Tokyo was fun but this area just has a slower pace and is so close to Kyoto and Osaka.
