Really wild situation here: a celebrated and well-regarded indie dev and publisher is facing shutdown because Valve banned their game from Steam and won't talk to them about it, at all.

was trying to explain what makes Jigsaw Puzzle Dreams so good to a friend and I feel like saying "full physics jigsaw pieces" always undersells it

you can even move the pieces to anywhere else in the house and complete the puzzle on the floor or in the kitchen sink if you wanted

The Crazy Hyper-Dungeon Chronicles by @iltimido.bsky.social is a bonkers dungeon-exploring puzzle RPG, with... golf-game combat? It's an awful lot of fun.

No - "youtube money" isn't massive for most creators - just because the outliers are making millions, your average medium, and even medium-large creators can very easily have multiple videos or even series that return less than minimum wage. ESPECIALLY when we take the time to cover pet projects.

i don’t get why, if you like the work of a known predator, do you need to keep calling the victims of that predator a liar and attacking them?
like can’t you just consume that media without acting like you have to protect the moral purity of it, or protect the creepy person that made it?

I really hope someone's checking in on Dienne Kawende, 27.
botherer.bsky.social John Walker - Industry Analcyst @botherer.bsky.social · May 2
BBC News got the reaction of one person for their story on the GTA 6 delay, and it's the most perfect collection of thoughts of all time.
News of the delay has landed hard with fans such as Dienne Kawende, 27. "I'm absolutely furious right now," he tells BBC Newsbeat. "There's fire flowing through my body right now." GTA 6 will only be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox at launch, meaning owners of older consoles will need to upgrade to play it. Sony and Microsoft recently announced price increases for both machines. "This year, I literally got a job just to save up to get a Playstation 5," says Dienne. "It's all ruined now." Although he praises Rockstar for making "amazing" and complex games, the 12-year wait is getting too much for him. "I'm getting really impatient at this point," he says. "When GTA 5 came out, I was in school. I was a teenager. I might start having kids soon. "I might not even have time to play GTA 6 when it comes out."

Earlier this year on a call with @apogeeent.com, I proposed the idea of enlisting Akira Yamaoka to compose an original track for Total Chaos. Apogee producer Jeron Moore liked the idea and asked. The legend agreed.

Here’s a preview of Akira Yamaoka’s Catharsis. It’s a banger, guys.

I do want to make another push for this, because it does seem even if you have an existing audience on a platform it doesn't necessarily translate to another platform and/or format, which is a bit of a downer because I worked pretty hard on this and think it might be my best written video yet...
