What are you playing at the moment?

I've just been playing The Darkside Detective (re The @slowgameclub.bsky.social), a rather witty and fun #indiedev #game

Late to the party, but I'm finally getting around to playing The @cultofthelamb.bsky.social ... incredibly fabulous on so many fronts! 😍 🫶 💯

A fascinating evening at Radial System in Berlin, for an excellent CTM performance by Theo Alexander & Qow - »So Afraid To Show I Care« (ft. Otteswed & Klara Pudlakova). Beautiful immersive cello playing through the sound scape with spoken word.
