To combat screen fatigue, @majorbacon.bsky.social and I teamed up to make a physical 2-player card game for @globalgamejam.bsky.social! Presenting Burst Your Bubble! Grab a fellow board gamer, print the cards out, find some shade in a park, and give the game a go! 😃

The multiplayer modes for both Uncharted and The Last of Us were underrated. The deagle was particularly difficult to get shots with, but when you do pick off someone with it, man does that make the brain feel good.

I might be imagining things, but... I have a sinking feeling this alternate universe #Peacemaker loves so much is Get Out Part 2 in disguise. In S02E03, I couldn't see a single non-white extra in the bgd in that universe. It's got to be intentional... #dcstudios #PeacemakerS2

Whew, the #OnePageRPGJam2025 was a treat to do! My entry for @onepagerpgjam.bsky.social is an attempt at turning the fighting game experience in a ttrpg format. 🥋

It's my first ever ttrpg. If you're a fan of both genres, this might be up your alley!

It's funny coz Telltale TWD S1 does it in a hit-or-miss way. You can be rude to the cop in the start (but Lee'll choose not to), and you can tell Clem to hit the loo (but Lee shouts at her for it). The only difference is players can misinterpret the latter option easily, which they may not want.

The #neotwinyjam was fun. Managed to get an entry in without passing out of exhaustion from juggling life stuff.

Hastly put together, but it's inspired a very interesting idea I might just pursue when I've either the time or I've finished the existing projects. daspruthvi96.itch.io/quick-summon...

It's a cute touch! Even better if it's a filter we can select.

Obsidian is a great tool that I completely forgot about. I used it mainly to take notes on the books I read. Reading this post nudged me to recheck it, and it's only now I realized what grave a mistake I made forgetting it. Might just do the same and switch over!

Ah, one of our jammers is new to the jamming scene, so their Itch profile is new. The site's working on tackling bot/sus activities, so it must think the new account is a bot/spam. I can vouch for it; our submission is for #GGJ2025!

Pop some friendships in this game bursting with deception and urgency! Your goal is simple: don’t let your bubble deflate or pop. But that’s easier said than done, bub. "Sorry to... BYB" is a two-play...

100% this. Decision-making, planning and organising, creative direction... if all of this is either absent or poor, it affects everything... especially the writing.

yeah when people are like "what were the writers THINKING" they were probably thinking 'oh god we've been asked to redo this four separate times, half the staff has been cut, the project is over-budget so we need to wrap up this character's storyline in thirty seconds of in-game time'

Narrative is a glass cannon. It can be powerful and yield huge results, but it's fragile. The more hits it takes, the harder it is for it to be effective.

When I play a game that I don't think has very strong writing, I don't think "these writers are bad", I wonder what they were up against.

Being a writer is almost entirely about perseverance. Life is going to continuously try to keep you from writing or from getting published or from getting things made, and you just have to get in life's way and say “No.”

Alright, writers. Take a cue from Lynch: go be your weird damn selves and leave some fucking art in this world before you're gone.

First ever Substack post! It’s interesting how a lot of people felt the Dragonrot system was lacklustre, but not many blogs covered it as much. So here’s a little something I wrote about it.
Cover image for the article. The dimmed background shows a Shinobi warrior wielding a katana. The article's title, subheading, and post link are layered on top of the image.
