Now THIS! This is a man who writes books!

All creations need not be original to be real, enjoyed, and valid.

I have no problem with people creating their own version of something they love and making it their own. That's how we get some of the most beloved pieces of art in the world.

As for HOLE, I'll take a look!

Drill Bird seems a bit like Motherload, is that close to what I should expect? I heard of Öoo recently but haven't checked it out myself yet. I love a good puzzle platformer.

And I have NO concept of Omelet You Cook. I'll look into it! Thank you very much.

The aesthetic here caught my attention! At first I thought this was an open-world thing but it looks like it's more Turok-style fast-paced level gameplay. Very cool!

Also, completely separate:
Have you seen the clips of the same guy a couple of years ago?

My partner played through it and can’t say enough good things! I still haven’t given it a go, however!

Adding this to my list to check out ASAP. I need a good vibes game once in a while to just exist in at my own pace.

There's a building in Halifax, NS that reminds me of this aesthetic every time I visit.

Anyone finding this post after the fact, here's the game in question.

Solid art direction here! I'm going to have to find the jams to listen to after work.

Hold on, the visuals here are both hilarious and endearing. I love it! I’m for sure going to check this bad boy out!

Also very much enjoyed Industria by @bleakmill.com as a Half-Life 2 style game, and Anomalous by @byrondunwoody.bsky.social for a fast-paced FPS.

My neighbour keeps turning a shitty vacuum cleaner on and off and yelling “Fucking come on you piece of shit suck it up!” while tension gets cranked up through visual story telling while we’re trying to fuck. I wish I had that kind of life.

I’ve gained so much weight since my partner moved away to work on their doctorate.

Why yes I do teach teenagers who don’t laugh at my jokes, why do you ask?

I’ve done this no-less than 10 times this year and haven’t listened to a single one.

Had I the ability to program, I’d be all over the chance to work together.
