There has to be a term of some kind for indie games that didn't rise to superstardom like Minecraft or Stardew, but are definitely better than average and worth checking out. I have like 4 or 5 games I think that would fit this perfectly, but no idea what to call them

I'm gonna keep posting about this game because I'm a dork: Little Rocket Lab is fantastic! I'm worried about the mid and late game stuff, I'm only 10 hours in, but for $15 on Steam it's an absolute steal

Ok im glad you said something because I was going to risk looking super dumb and ask if it played games lol

Gold Skull Games @goldskullgames.bsky.social · 17h

I think what these "big brain strategists" fail to realize is that if you don't want to support rights for trans folk, we are not on the same "team", your person winning the election isn't a win for me if you're not supporting rights for everyone

I feel this about Mario: I say Marry-o instead of Marr-io, and I don't think there's a person in the world that agrees with me but I absolutely refuse to change lol

Curious about solar, is the line fees a monthly occurrence? If you didn't connect to the grid at all, could you avoid them?

I think Steam should just let you save and load your games to a USB stick and stop pretending like Steam Cloud is a working and usable service

The demo has been a lot of fun, the Factorio meets Stardew vibe is great and the writing elevates it, I'm hoping you see a lot of success in the next few days!

Gold Skull Games @goldskullgames.bsky.social · 1d

Hey, go check out Little Rocket Lab on Steam, it comes out in 3 hours and is basically Stardew Valley meets Factorio and has a playable demo!

You beat me to it! lol I've never used any device that sucked down 6 AA batteries as fast as the Game Gear lol

Gold Skull Games @goldskullgames.bsky.social · 2d

Definitely important, but all time is a stretch, Minecraft beats it easily

Gold Skull Games @goldskullgames.bsky.social · 2d

Wow that got real weird, real quick lol

You know for someone who doesn't like Dune, I sure own a lot of Dune games lol it's wild how well this IP has been treated by what seems like everyone who has touched it so far

I love how the past decade has shown that the worst part of technology is often the people who make the technology lol

Gold Skull Games @goldskullgames.bsky.social · 2d

That's the Kingpin of groundhogs right there lol

This week absolutely cooked me with the Eagles and Buffalo both losing, but luckily I'm still on top after 5 weeks on the @remapradio.bsky.social NFL Pick Em Pool!

I feel like this is the Wendy's social media person's fault lol they got snarky on main to everyones delight and brain-addled execs took it as a signal that their real life douchiness would work online
