Finished (got 2 out of 4 endings) of @duckmadeofwood.bsky.social's "D3AD HAND" and it's DLC "R3D STAR".
I've not known a DLC be about six times larger than the original game, but with D3ad Hand you play as Yuri, a solider in the Russian army who is stationed in a bunker to monitor nuclear weapons.

I've been musing about creating a Discord for Ask Us About Loom, because the Internet needs another discord server. But inspired by the Save Your Game/Mutant Menace joint server I've just extended the @pickadisc.bsky.social one to have channels for the podcast!

Over the past year, there's been some absolutely astounding games released. In my head there's a Super Smash Brothers Brawl going on between four games for my number 1 game of the year.
