If you like Indie Games please follow my account @gamershame.bsky.social where I go through all the new releases on steam, every day of the week, and post the highlights.

There are a bunch of automated accounts that post every game but I think I'm the only one manually curating everything

I’ve not seen the full Dandan Secret Lair. I don’t really care if I get credit or anything from it. Rhystic Studies and informed players know its origins. I just hope I’ll be able to own a copy of the official release and not have them sell out to scalpers and stuff like I’ve heard can be a problem.

While it's true that I don't enjoy seeing performative wrestling fandom, it's also true that there are people out there who look down on the medium, and also people out there who still watch WWE, and performative wrestling fans are better than both of them.

ok so on 16 June 2023 I had a dream that I was writing an album, and that the album was called "Through This Fire Across from Peter Balkan." I wrote the dream down and went back to sleep In the morning, I said: "What if?" Today, the first song from the album is released!

It's been a while.

Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.
