Me: I am NOT buying any more games until I beat a run in Elden Ring Nightreign.

Steam: yo this game is 85% off

Me: STARTING NOW, I am NOT buying any more games until I beat a run in Elden Ring Nightreign.

Steam: you’re not gonna believe this

It’s gonna be a great weekend in games. I’ll be playing:
- Silksong
- Little Rocket Lab
- Mouthwashing

Yes, I like to play entirely different games at once. How did you know?

Don't Ask:
"Why won't site x cover this indie game?"

Ask:
"How can I better support indie games media?"

For indie games to succeed, those covering them need to succeed as well.

Here are some you can start following. Tell me your favs or who I miss.

Found this hidden gem thanks to the Indie Spotlight coverage over at Games Radar. Only half an hour in but its pretty cool so far and perfect vibes for spoopy season. Check a look if you're into that kind of thing.

Gloomy Eyes is the perfect Tim Burton-esque scarytale to usher in October, and I was immediately charmed by its creepy yet chill puzzles

Can we beat Greak this stream? There's a chance. Live now! twitch.tv/chipdip18

Jake | POB Podcast | So Many Games @chipdip.bsky.social · 4d

This week of streams has very cool things going on. A few notes:
- We'll only do 30 min of Sopa then start Greak: Memories of Azur
- I'm ending stream at noon on Tuesday to go see One Battle After Another, alone, with a giant coke zero
- Friday morning will rule. I am so stoked for this surprise!

Stream schedule for the week. On the left are the dates and times and the right has corresponding images for what will happen each stream.

Oh I definitely will! Not sure when, but I plan on playing it!

I’m tempted to put DAS WAS AWS (that was awesome) in my signature now

Jake | POB Podcast | So Many Games @chipdip.bsky.social · 1d

Do they sell switch docks separately? I could see this working.

Jake | POB Podcast | So Many Games @chipdip.bsky.social · 1d

I’m looking to squeeze more game time into my day without sacrificing even more sleep. Anyone figure this one out yet?
