Whoa, forgot to upload this hours ago. The stream schedule is a bit different for the holiday! Tomorrow morning, we're chilling, chatting, and I am working on a slugcat emote for the channel.

Saturday, I'll be back from visiting my folks to continue our trophy hunting in Bloodborne.
Stream schedule for chipdip18 for the week of November 24th. Streams are on Tuesday from 9-noon MT and Saturday from 8pm-1:30am, all times are mountain time.

Fading Serenades is such a well thought out game, that I was not at all surprised that the dev was an insightful and thoughtful designer. Check out this interview, and thanks @partnano.bsky.social for your answers!

Great weekend of gaming. Between Morsels, Windswept, Bloodborne, and FF Tactics, it’s been a real good time.

Kingdoms of the Dump (@kingdomsofthedump.bsky.social) by Roach Games and @dreamslothgames.bsky.social, a JRPG, is out now! [PC]

Dustin Binsley, Trash Can Knight, is off to see the world! Travel to the five and a half trash kingdoms and save the Dump from war.

#indiegame
Kingdoms of the Dump logo with Dustin, a man wearing a trash can as armor, his face hidden, with a cloaked man carrying a book, a living lute, a wizard, a ratman in goggles, and a bugman behind him Dustin stands in Tin Alley, according to a sign over a road, a junk-covered town with trashhbags and tires, and a tree covered in toilet paper. There's lots of grass and trees though, and the junk is organized around buildings such as a shop and diner Dustin and the ratman fight a fridge mimic with ABC magnets on it and a paper pinned to the side

Got 7 trophies tonight! That puts us at 18 for the base game. Next stream (in a week) will be Castle Cainhurst/Upper Cathedral. I’m expecting much less progress haha

Hey folks! I've got a new Indie Impressions episode out for everyone. I had a chance to play Bittersweet Birthday, and folks, I desperately wanted to love this but got bogged down in the non-combat sections. Take a listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/1Zhx...

YES Kingdoms of the Dump deserves this kind of shout out. You love to see it.

Kingdoms of the Dump is one of the year's most charming RPGs, an Earthbound-inspired game set in a world made of trash, where you fight in landfills and heal with moldy sandwiches. Which is fitting — it was made by two janitors.

An old man sits on a bench surrounded by pigeons. The following quote is included: "There's no scenario in which I will forget The Bench. As much as I struggled with some of its design and jank, it is still a shining example of the fresh ideas that video games can produce, particularly in the indie space. "

Folks, I'm dead tired. It's been a mentally draining day. I really want to keep going in CrossCode since I canceled last week's slow play, but I won't be able to stay awake to play on stream tonight.

If I can, I'll make it up tomorrow night. Have a good one all!

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊
Nerdy kid at keyboard: Hi guys, I've noticed that it is International Men's Day today, and I'm confused. Why do we need a day to talk about men? We're not a marginalised group like women, queer people, or people of colour. The media is already full of stories about men. Big buff shirtless dude at keyboard: I'm glad you asked, champ. Whatever your view on men's place in society, it's still true that we face a lot of issues - like social isolation, risk of suicide, health problems, and attitudes towards sex and child rearing. Having a day to talk about those doesn't take away from anyone else's problems. In fact, having a day to talk about them helps us be more mindful, and listen better at other times. Second shirtless buff dude on a couch at his laptop: The chief here is really on to something. I want to echo what he said, and also point out that the idea we should remain silent about our problems actually contributes to a lot of our issues. We are human beings, with human needs. Seeking mutual support and understanding isn't the same thing as placing a burden on others. Especially if we're providing it for each other. Third buff dude at his laptop: Right on, my fellow kings. We've inherited a social legacy of competition and division, and a lot of what makes a man in our era is under question. IMD is a chance for us to examine and rethink what we are together, and build the bonds of solidarity and support that will make a better way possible - like in this meme. Because in our hearts, we're all curious kids and buff guys on keyboards.

Between today and tomorrow, we get four great games that in the late 2000s would have been guaranteed GOTY contenders. It's a brutal time to sell a game; it's an age of miracles for people who play them:

Demonschool
News Tower
Kingdom of the Dump
Birdcage

PLUS, Moonlighter 2 hits Early Access
Demonschool feature teens chatting about demons News Tower shows a building full of reporters Kingdoms of the Dump features a humanoid trash can at a pixel dump Birdcage shows a tiny spaceship dodging a huge pattern of diamond bullets
