Whoo! 700+ recommendations now on my Steam Curator page! Every one I've played, enjoyed and think that you should check out. Almost all of it indie and/or obscure.

As always, if you sort by Discounts and scroll down, it starts mainstream-ish but gets increasingly freaky the deeper you dive. Enjoy!

Info-tags aside (for listing stuff) this is 100% personal recommendations on games I've played. Expect a lot of weird, indie, undersold or otherwise mysterious stuff, plus the occasional mainstream fa...

Hello! It's #PortfolioDay!
I am Alessandro, an italian pixel artist. I like ancient places, magical creatures and adventures! I usually like tiny canvases and focus on detailed environments.
Here's a few recent pieces.

A collection of tiny pixel art pokemon scenes, featuring:
1. Chinchou swimming under the waves
2. Lanturn jumping above the waves at night
3. Corsola on the seafloor
4. Horsea in a cave underwater
5. Seadra in a kelp forest
6. Kingdra among whirlpools
7. Swinub at home, sleeping on a carpet
8. Piloswin taking a bath in hot springs
9. Mamoswine traversing a snowstorm
10. Cleffa hovering in space
11. Three Clefairy dancing at Mt. Moon Crater
12. Clefable in the middle of a pond, looking at the stars
13. Porygon in a strange labyrinth
14. Porygon2 running on a mobius strip
15. Porygon-Z floating in an old screensaver
16. Bonsly sitting on the porch as the rain starts to fall
17. Sudowood taking shelter from heavy rain in a mountain cave
18. Mew looking at the viewer through fish-eye lens
19. Sunkern floating in a summer meadow
20. Sunflora basking in the sunlight over a sunflower field
21. Celebi flying through Ilex Forest

A pixel art reimagining of Southern Face Shrine boss room, seen from above. The arena is surrounded by brick, curved walls; the structure is encircled by by stained glass windows atop each side. The central window showcases the Wind Fish Effigy.
As the glass and candles create an iridescent atmosphere in the arena, Link is ready to face the colossal Armos Knight, as they both wield a sword and a shield.
Behind the mighty foe, a stone face carved into the wall can be seen: its mouth opens into a dark corridor, leading to the innermost sanctum and its dark secrets.

A top-down view of a cathedral-like structure, with many columns. At the very center, a giant baldachin, firmly standing on twisted columns. The altarpiece is mounted in a rich baroque frame, surmounted by stained glass rose window. A richly adorned pipe organ can be seen to the eastern gallery. Along the transept in front of the absis, two enclosed naves host a Pietà statue and a reliquiary.
Many huge chandeliers hang above the central nave, and lots of candles are scattered around the cathedral.

To the side of the absis altar, downward staircases lead to the crypt.Many huge chandeliers hang above the central nave, and lots of candles are scattered around the cathedral.

Below the Cahedral, an underground Ossuary crypt, with walls made out of bones and skulls. An eerie light permeates the various locales, featuring grates, numerous walls of wax, monumental coffins and pillars.

The Tower above houses a giant bell. A faraway city can be seen from the terrace.

A collection of pixel art interiors, featuring:
1. A tall, hollow tree house, with walkable branches on the right. A bard is playing his guitar inside. Outside, a mushroom man, some moths and a snake.
2. The bottom of the well, as the player swims.
3. An old observatory, with a huge telescope.
4. A blacksmith house, divided in two parts: to the right, the actual home, with a bed and the anvil area; to the left a japanese-like bathroom, with a tiled bath tub.
5. A mysterious magic palace with floating orbs and a huge floating crystal. A demon is guarding the altar.
6. A pirate hideout, inside a cave. Cannons and barrels are kept there, as the captain stands in the center; the sea can be seen through cave openings at the top.

LUCYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Fanart of Lucy from Cyberpunk Edgerunners. The lighting is dim and purple, and there is a strong red rim light on the left, a strong light blue one on the right. She is looking to our right offscreen and lazily holding a cigarette. The whole picture is cel-shaded with black.

Had a lot of thoughts in my mind this week with the Steam & itchio bans and a book review I've received, so I've decided to write a little article on transgressive games:

Super Columbine Massacre RPG! — 20 years later, are the limits are still winning?

A few days ago someone left a very angry review of The CRPG Book, criticizing me for featuring Super Columbine Massacre RPG!:

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones

Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign

But we can EASILY top 1,000!

I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send!

We CAN make a difference 💕

Yeah, this is bad. Payment processors and banks determining what can and cannot be sold is the reason why you need to buy gift cards from Japan if you want to buy from DLSite now, and why adult games sites are constantly dodging crackdowns.

Banks are the razor-sharp tip of the censorship spear.

NoahFuel_Gaming @noahfuelgaming.bsky.social · Jul 16

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs
