Do they sell switch docks separately? I could see this working.

I’m looking to squeeze more game time into my day without sacrificing even more sleep. Anyone figure this one out yet?

I love, love editors. They are constantly saving me from myself.

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

100% agree, and honestly it’s a great spooky game for horror-adverse/curious players.

If you haven't played Grunn, it's a great pick for spooky season!

Tom van den Boogaart @tom.sokpop.co · 4d

Exactly 1 year ago I released my normal gardening game ‘Grunn’

A big thanks to all of you who played it and supported me! I have received so many nice reactions since release.. it has far exceeded my expectations 🙏

This is a fair point. Hadn’t thought about that. On paper, I’m all for it though.

Immensely disappointing

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Meet quirky characters, venture through the depths of South America, and learn the importance of the things we pass along in this unforgettable emotional narrative adventure.

A child sits awkwardly on a chair and is resting his head on his hand. He is in the kitchen.

The following quote from our review is on the bottom left of the picture:

"Over the course of the game, a wonderful cast of quirky characters had assembled, and Miho rose to the top of that group."

Live now with CrossCode! I had a protein shake with caffeine so maybe the stream is very long tonight. twitch.tv/chipdip18

Jake | POB Podcast | So Many Games @chipdip.bsky.social · 2d

This week of streams has very cool things going on. A few notes:
- We'll only do 30 min of Sopa then start Greak: Memories of Azur
- I'm ending stream at noon on Tuesday to go see One Battle After Another, alone, with a giant coke zero
- Friday morning will rule. I am so stoked for this surprise!

Stream schedule for the week. On the left are the dates and times and the right has corresponding images for what will happen each stream.

I suggest you try that demo.

I started Sword of the Sea, and wow, just stunning. It’s like an extremely AAA looking game but an incredibly meditative indie.

In a perfect world I could stream this. You would see me get up to pee 3 times during the movie, so not all that different from a regular stream 😅

Another episode is up! I talked with the prolific (and very cool) @darrenhupke.bsky.social from @pixelsandpolygons.net about the indie game Toem.

This was a great chat, and I love how we can talk about gaming with our kids. Really looking forward to Toem 2! open.spotify.com/episode/0KJM...
