I have to admit my enthuasism for all the _other_, cool, stuff @atari.com is doing at the moment is dampened by them working with that Lucky Palmer guy.

@gamehistoryorg.bsky.social Hello! I'm curious if you have any plans to open source any of the digital library related software you have developed, and perhaps invite contributions towards it?

Big thanks to Kirk covering this game. Sounds interesting amd I wouldn't have known otherwise!

Does it play? @doesitplay.org · Jul 11

Less than 3 weeks to go for the EU Initiative of #StopKillingGames.

We are still not 100 % comfortable with the signatures. How many of those are valid is still unknown. Keep up the effort. Hit up every EU citizen you know that you haven't already.

Onkohan kesäkuun Pelit-lehti 10 sivua paksumpi ihan vain aukeaman kokoisen Switch 2 -mainoksen voimasta? Pari juttuakin viittaa talveen tai joululomaan - eivät mahtuneet sivumäärään aiemmin?

Hey this is cool news! I have the game from an itch bundle and the beginning looked cool, it just had some problems running on my machine at the time. I think it'll be great to play on Switch!

My kids sometimes like to kick my butt in a vs game, Wibbly Witches looks like it could fit the bill!

FWIW I thought The Lemurian Vampire was spot on!

A great episode! Really special. This was actually the first interview I heard from Mr. Yoshida and I can immediately see why he is so beloved. I look forward between future chats between you three!

I've played a few hours more.. This game is amazing.

This is the third interview/podcast with Mike Arkin I've listened in a short while and so far, it hasn't been redundant ... very cool insights into game development and publishing on the Dreamcast! @jparish.bsky.social might appreciate the bits re: NES Rambo translation (if not already familiar)

The Dreamcast Junkyard @thedreamcastjunkyard.co.uk · May 15

The DreamPod is available on all good podcast services, including Apple Podcasts, Audible and Spotify. It's also on YouTube!

I like playing with the detached joycons as posture-wise it is so free. I anticipate appreciating the bigger size.

This was a good chat, I enjoyed it! I feel silly how excited I'm to play Switch 1 games on the 2 once we are able to buy one. I mean two. I mean one two. We already have three ones. Really wondering what I'll do with my one once we get a two.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but… there’s a minigame in #Deltarune that references my game #RaindropSprinters.

“Shoe, hey”... is that supposed to be Shuhei—my name!?

What is happening!? WHAT IS HAPPENING!?!??!

Laine and Joost return from hiatus older, wiser, and slightly more disillusioned. After life updates, they dive into the state of the games industry. Plus: Apple loses in court, Steam gets sued (again), and Laine spills the tea on fighting the ESA over game preservation rights. youtu.be/UiazDSUKauA
