An introduction for new folk, I guess

I play indie games, traditional roguelikes (DCSS, Angband, etc), board games, card games, tabletop RPGs

I have degrees in medieval history

I wrote unnecessarily verbose flavour text for a jam game once

Capitalism gives me the ick

But enough about Fern. What are we looking at?

With the recent release of Battlefield 6, let's raise a glass to the best, and yet also most overlooked, of the console-era Battlefield games

Here's the link and some of the sweet thematic beepage. Seems to be expanding from the initial proof-of-concept into what might hopefully be a full lil game.

Game Boy Color visions of a Bitter Coast journey to Vivec.

Trying out a lil Game Boy game jam Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind fan adventure game that's got a whole glob of talent and charm behind it.

Little shout out to the track 'Witches' from Moonring - a highlight of the soundtrack for me

I have not. I'll look it up

Yeah, they were good too. I liked how relatively lighthearted the story of Bad Company 1 was. A bunch of shit, unreliable soldiers decide to steal gold during a war

Also the only mulitplayer shooter where I consistently placed mid to high most of the time. Something about it just gelled for me

Other than House of Necrosis, some more traditional roguelike recs for horror season:

1) Infra Arcana - Lovecraftian!

2) Hellband - Dante's hell crawl!

3) Living the Nightmare - Off-brand Voorhees!

For anyone who played the first Dead Pixels, the sequel definitely builds on what was already there

AlanWithTea || The Indie Ocean @alanwithtea.bsky.social · 1d

Also, always have to appreciate the classic Burton, Valentine and Chambers brand weaponry

It's been pointed out to me that this is gravy, which is much less exciting. Because it's in a can, I interpreted it as gravy-flavoured Guinness. Which I would try, against my better judgement

So many houses listed for sale have piles of loose bricks in the garden. Why all the loose bricks all the time? I really don't get what that's about
