They probably shouldn't let me coach little league. #indiegame #indiegames #indiedev
I can't think of a way I'd rather end my Backyard Baseball game than getting handed an error to fill my bases, followed by a home run in the bottom of the 9th with three outs. What a finish. Well done @megacatstudios.bsky.social. This is some good baseball. #indiegame #indiedev
The @megacatstudios.bsky.social edition of Backyard Baseball is out and I'm working on that review, but in the meantime, I'd like to share it on today's episode of Indie-licious! Grab your spot in the bleachers and take in some league play as we stream at 1 p.m. PT! #indiegame #indiedev #indiegames
It's our wedding anniversary today. Sam wanted a Beauty and the Beast theme and that extended to the cake, but because we got married on Friday the 13th, I had the cake maker slip a small detail in, which is a hockey mask on the coat rack. Thankfully haven't lost our fun.☺️
Sometimes I forget the dumb little trends I’ve loaded into Tomodachi Life until they unexpectedly circle back in unexpected and usually pretty great ways.
I didn't talk to Mitch McConnell, but I did enter his lair for 20 minutes to collect a baby-sacrificing knife. He was quietly attending an untouched feast. When I chanced to take a grape, he became energetic, biting the head off one of my friends, at which point I decided to leave and let him rest.
The idea of id Software, makers of Doom and Quake, as a support studio for Xbox is utterly laughable. Just complete and utter dogshit that could only reasonably be supported by brain dead slobs that love talking without knowing anything.
It’s late and you should go to sleep, but you wonder if Peppy Hare has at least one T-shirt that says, “I’m not the stepfather, I’m the father who stepped up.”
Cosmodrill was chill at times, tense at others, and silly when we biffed our trips to and from the digging. It's not a big game, but it was a very fun one. Check it out! #indiegame #indiedev #indiegames
Google's new image search UI sucks ass. They took the sidebar grid away so now you can't continue scanning results in the main search while you check out a closer look at anything interesting. Ugly waste of screen real estate.
I was trying to figure out how to fit Robo-Amy’s RisKY Lovers into my mix, and I think best case scenario is you miss a big move and I go for the full troll. #GGST #GuiltyGear #FGC
Someone important must have died because Marvel Rivals got Cap running into battle all flag at half mast.
Super fireball to super fireball, you play the quickdraw game with Joe Higashi and it'll be the bell gong signaling everything's about to go our way. #FatalFury #CotW
It’s late and you should go to sleep, but the bubble game from Rhythm Heaven Groove is too good and you fear the rhythmic pop and “YES” will linger deep within your dreams.
Doing things like this behind my partner’s back until they notice me and/or get annoyed and ask “what?” And then I say “nothing, love you” and we go about our day.
Still reeling over the completed #MarvelTōkon roster. It’s wild I get to put a team like this together in a proper ArcSys fighter. Can’t wait to lab Team Ghouls ‘n Ghosts. #FGC
#EVO2026 is over. Every year I come out here to do new and amazing coverage. My team and I did that again this year. I have mixed feelings about a number of things, but I still love fighting games, and I still love the way it brings people around the world together. GGs.
