Shibuya may be the home of the scramble and Hachiko, but @jkooza.bsky.social  has some other feelings towards his old stomping ground.

I want to start a petition that we release a “COLIN MODE”. It’s kinda like a director’s cut, but cooler
Whenever our @colinwilliamson.bsky.social submits work-in-progress cutscenes, he voices them to make adding audio easier. Personally, I think we should ship these as is! 😸 Guest starring Big Matsu, who badly wanted his dinner.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

It is creator day on itch.io. For twenty-four hours, they are waiving their platform fee so developers get their full cuts.

I have compiled below a bunch of wonderful indie games that are on itch.io. All of them are phenomenal in their own right and deserve every dollar they ask of you.
You know what? I will. There are a bunch of games available on itch.io that are great and I am going to highlight them in this thread:
Today is an excellent day to be reminded how important @itch.io is and how lucky we are a platform like this exists, where creators (rather than customers) come first. Share an itch.io project you like! Make a purchase!

For @aftermath.site, I spoke to @imodrew.bsky.social, the Sucker Punch dev fired after making a Charlie Kirk joke.

She paints a picture of an industry that all too often ignores bad actors until those bad actors threaten them financially.
