Fantastic news for the devs!

Is this a map from the medieval era lol

It’s from America in 1965, so basically yeah.

I was pleasantly surprised by Super Mario Wonder. It had the same feel of fun and variety that the older games did.

So people are morons?

Picked up Bloons Tower Defence 6 on sale for $1.50, already put quite a few hours into it.

Yeah, sorry, that’s what I meant. I don’t really know the difference between a town and a tiny village I just meant there are way too many names.

Could’ve done with a few less to make it a bit clearer to read.

Feel like this would be a little more legible with slightly less towns on it. Can barely see the old borders there are so many names everywhere.

Serif (which owns Affinity) was just bought out by Canva, so it’s only a moment of time before they are enshittified unfortunately.

Arma 3?

Haven’t played it personally, I’m not big on milsim games, but it’s got a decent following. Might not have the accessibility options though.

I’ve heard good things about Battlebits, for what it’s worth it seems decent.

Nice list, definitely gonna download some of these demos.

The Alters looks really cool, and What the Car seems like a fun time.

Does it require a PSN account to use the adaptor?

Well you have to consider it’s 7 years old. It was incredible in 2016.

Incredibly interesting article. Thanks for posting.

Might be a little hard to parse for someone without an understanding of Japanese, but it’s very insightful into the history of the written language and all the idiosyncrasies that have arisen due to the way it evolved in written form.

Balatro, the Joker Poker has me deep in it’s clutches.

Love it.

Such an incredible gaming experience with absolutely no words.

I also love Abzū, which is kind of like a sequel to it, but also not really.

I did try and get my girlfriend (non-gamer) to play Journey and she did not enjoy it at all, which made me realise a large part of why I love it is that it doesn’t hold your hand, and it assumes you are adept at gaming in some way.

Looks pretty cool. Hope it lives up to the original and is successful for the studio.

Love when that mult mults.

It’s crazy how I feel like I barely notice the music when playing but it just pops into my head throughout the day.

I had to play on mute the other day when my headphones died and it was like a completely different game with out the background music and the dings to give me that dopamine rush.

Call me crazy, but I think if a game can be “retired” by Warner Brothers (or another megacorp), and the dev doesn’t control it anymore, then it’s not really an “indie”.

Because YouTube and Twitch are notorious for reducing ad payments or demontising creators. Have you forgotten about the adpocalypse already? Patreon also increased their fees with very little notice in 2019.

It’d honestly be an idiotic move to not take a video sponsor if they’re offered, because that is guaranteed and likely upfront, supplemental income to support the creation of videos.

Nebula is collectively creator owned, so it’s the only one of those that won’t fuck over creators for more money, but as I said, not a lot of people are paying for subscriptions. It’s small, the per-creator payouts are probably even less than Youtube.

And finally, the real answer: Man’s gotta eat. Simple.

All of that considered, I didn’t even see the sponsor ads you’re complaining about because I have Sponsorblock skip them automatically.
