Let’s take back control from the almighty algorithm…
We choose every game by hand, playing them first and backing what deserves attention
Sometimes that means big names. More often it means the smallest, strangest, most niche projects you’ve never heard of
All chosen by real humans who care!

Please share if you can. Nick was such a huge part of the mag.
Nik’s funeral is taking place on 30th December at 1pm GMT. For those that can’t attend, the funeral will be live-streamed. We have tried to contact as many of Nik’s friends as we could, but we may have missed some. The link is watch.obitus.com username: cuma6886 pin:962499

Follow everyone on this list and make 2026 the year human voices - not algorithms - speak for our beautiful medium again.
2025 was brutal for games media, but I'm seeing some glimmers of hope as worker-owned sites like @aftermath.site, @rascal.news, and @giantbomb.bsky.social have carved out vital spaces in the games community.
Earlier this year, I made a huge Indie Games Media starter pack for y'all. Let's celebrate.

A fun challenge for the C devs among us?
I have been trying to implement GJK/EPA collision detection in C for two weeks now. GJK works, but my EPA code is screwing up the polytope faces and I can't see the bug!
Code is here if anyone fancies a bug spotting challenge: gitlab.com/Kazade/picop...

How much would you expect to pay for domestic shipping of a 1 lb book?

📬 I like reading indie books. I like playing indie games. So when I saw @debugmag.com “the indie games magazine” on 🦋 I thought I’d order some printed issues to try.
I also decided to start at the beginning, because that’s how I roll.
And look what arrived in my mail today 😍
