Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Just a reminder: if you’re a chronically ill or disabled voice actor, I see how hard you’re working and you’re awesome.

It is a hard road, but make no mistake that your perspective and experience is valuable and needed.

Take care of yourselves, and keep going.

Hey game dev! Looking for Ontario-based localization partners (either a company or individuals) for:
- French
- German
- Japanese
- Simplified Chinese
- Spanish

These do not all have to be done by the same person. Must be comfortable working with queer themes/pronouns and complex narratives! Thanks

Loco Motive ($14.39) - a comedy point and click with fantastic animation, putting you as the prime suspect(s) for the murder of Lady Unterwald. never misses a chance to be extra expressive, made for those who loved the goofy energy of Ghost Trick and Sam & Max. store.steampowered.com/app/1709880/...

There's obviously a ton of GOTY discussions, but what about your "underappreciated game of 2025" vote? For me, Old Skies by @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social is absolutely exceptional and I've been aggressively recommending it to everyone I know!

What are your picks?

Someone once said that adventure games will either be compared to Monkey Island or Broken Sword. This manages to be both!

Question is: Monkey Sword or Broken Island?
