@dangolding.com nice work on the Mars First Logistics tunes. Has been a good listen while working this week.

“Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.”

Doing silly things like writing an importer of wareware project .rip files into Unity. No real objective except to give it a try.

Started to noodle around with a new wareware idea yesterday

It’s on my list for sure. Is it gamepad friendly? My Steamdeck is my main way to play it at the moment

I cancelled Spotify and have gone all in on Bandcamp. Each month I budget the monthly subscription spend to buy music from the artists and I get some nice FLACs for my troubles :D

Saw credits in Baby Steps. It is a very satisfying game, and meditative in a way Getting Over It never was.

A shorter edition of my Game Pile newsletter with cool games to check out, play and then review. All of them can be bought outright (or are free) for less than the price of one month of Xbox Game Pass! 😮 What a world we live in.

30 bucks a month lets you buy 1-2 indie games, support an independent games media outlet of your choice, and the majority of your money will go to a human being who worked hard to make something cool

Often when our list of Adobe alternatives is shared people comment that it's okay to pirate Adobe software. It's not, because that still supports Adobe through usage and staying in their ecosystem. Instead, do look into alternatives!

After years of being a pretty alright podcast app Pocket Casts has entered the enshittification zone. With the double whammy of an AI chat bot being used to reply to feedback emails. Nice…

Another pile of games that I think are worth playing or wishlisting.
Share the love.

People always privilege their own perspective on the spectacle of the game (broadcast, stats, media predictions, gambling) and ignore that it is never shared by the umpires casting the votes as they walk off the field.

I think it's becoming clear that if you like indie creators, you're going to need to support them any way you can. And that doesn't mean money, just spreading worth of mouth can be powerful as well.
