I reviewed Haneda Girl by @studiokobagames.bsky.social and they COOKED with this game. It's fun, fast, frenetic, and BRUTAL. Still, the game is sick and definitely worth playing if you love Celeste or Katana Zero. Vid below: youtu.be/fB65a3x4VLs?... #indiegame #indiecreators

Spreadcheat by @gamespeopleplayas.bsky.social is a humorous (and difficult) puzzle game where you use Excel to solve each puzzle. It's also a satire of toxic work culture and capitalism... and I might have gone on a rant about it in this video: youtu.be/uP_4pRCzmsk #indiecreators #indiegame

I played Wizordum by @emberheartgames.bsky.social and @apogeeent.com for just over an hour, and I'm already invested in the game. It's a "boomer shooter" with gorgeous pixel art and insane magic-themed weaponry and spells. You should probably play it. youtu.be/LgG26R2nks4?...

I played Immersive Sim "Skin Deep" by @blendogames.bsky.social published by @annapurna.com, for about an hour and had a GREAT time. This game is dope; it doesn't take itself seriously and has just the right amount of slapstick humor. Check out my 1st hour here: youtu.be/CsGkh9bieso #IndieCreators

I'm LIVE: 'GOTY CONTENDER JRPG IS FINALLY HERE! | Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Day 01 | !vgq (video game quiz)' ...and playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 today! https://www.twitch.tv/jamesmisc #Streamerbot #Twitch #IndieCreators

Made a video about how soul sucking a job/capitalism can be, LITERALLY naming jobs I’ve actually done, including my military service. And some bootlicking trolls’ takeaways are that I’m lazy or scared of jobs. Lmao. Can’t make this up. Brain rot. youtu.be/PJtY8rkI1CQ?...

Played a game (Tower of Kalemonvo) that does a great job of capturing the essence and atmosphere of the original Diablo game. Though, it falls slightly short of providing a fresh take on the core gameplay mechanics. It's still a dope game, though! youtu.be/tFK6ZX4yzqQ

I’ve done it. I’ve been called a ā€œzoomerā€ on YouTube by a channel called ā€œFemboyCatGamingā€ who is a Leafy d-rider. I’ve peaked.

@kristala.bsky.social's Cat Soulslike "Kristala," received a content update in mid-February. I just published an EA review highlighting its potential and giving some critiques. Hopefully, I don't come off as too negative bc I think there's something here. youtu.be/c8RQWmy_PCA?...

STEAM NEXT FEST is almost over! I covered some demos, but at the very least, you can wishlist em. Some of the games covered: Support the devs below! (not all have a bluesky account) #IndieCreator www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOJC...

I put together another video list of more indie game demos for your perusal! Also, support the devs: Neon Inferno - @retroware.bsky.social; Bloodthief - @blargis.bsky.social; Hypogea - (no account); Is This Seat Taken? - @wholesomegames.com #indiecreators #indiegames youtu.be/tO-jM1E9t6Y

These basement dwelling chuds are hilarious. ā€œGeneral consensusā€ and it’s a bunch of miserable, whiny lil bitches that cry at the sight of inclusion or anytime someone likes a game they don’t. Insulting my taste is funny. Y’all can’t even see my steam library. I promise it’s more diverse. #Avowed

I'm LIVE: 'This Game is OVERHATED (i'm alive) | !vgq (video game quiz)' ...and playing Avowed today! https://www.twitch.tv/jamesmisc #Streamerbot #Twitch #IndieCreators

After painstakingly making micro-adjustments to audio (and I prob could've kept going), I finally uploaded my Avowed review: youtu.be/-N5y3Rb0gpg

I’m having a blast with Avowed… kinda like this guy.

Hey so TEXNOPLAZM is pretty damn sick. #indiecreators #TEXNOPLAZM

I never understood the need for gamers to openly complain about ā€œover saturatedā€ genres. ā€œCan we stop with the roguelites/soulslikes?!ā€ Don’t play em? Not every game is for everyone, right? You’re also potentially missing out on a great experience. More for me then šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

Here's a list of demos I've played for some cool upcoming indie games (and the devs behind them; go follow them!): @indipenguin.bsky.social , @goblinzstudio.com (publisher), @ghostwaredev.bsky.social, (Team Soda) #indiecreator #indiegames youtu.be/QmtTZaXyFd0?...

Hey so I posted a review of @ycjygames.bsky.social’s newest game Keep Driving. It’s a unique blend of RPG meets management—think FTL meets Oregon Trail, without the dysentery. #indiecreators #indiegames youtu.be/1pFFX3gwBbs

What are gamer’s current over obsession with open world exploration? Saw that interview with MinnMax about Avowed and SO many comments ā€œwelp no open world? No buy for me.ā€ What a boring and limited way to experience games. Open worlds are overrated and hardly done right.

Sometimes I need to remind myself that gamers online are needlessly negative. On my hyper light breaker review, which I felt was a balanced take, someone said ā€œwow this game looks and sounds like dog shit. I won’t be getting this one.ā€ like lmao, OK, cool story bro.

So I finally got my review of Hyper Light Breaker by @heartmachine.bsky.social up. I feel like some of the negativity is a bit overstated, so I tried to approach it from an optimistic and measured angle. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A09k...

we've been working on this road trip management rpg where you "battle" against mundane things on the road for the past 5ish years and as we're new to Blusky we'd really appreciate some help reaching out here too. If you see this please RT and share the summer road trip. 🫶 #keepdriving

Some indie games I think need more attention. Might make this a series and do more of this type of video. #Indiecreators #indiegames #indiegamer

I know Hard Drive is satire/parody, but half of the ā€œgen z slangā€ is just AAVE that’s been in use since before their generation was born 😭

Immediately blocking accounts for making dumb, toxic, or negative comments is so freeing. Y’all ain’t getting a lick of engagement, sorry not sorry. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

This isn’t really a hot take. But, I get it I really do. However, in competitive, the solo queue experience is SO miserable. It’s simply just not fun bc no one wants to flex to what the team needs. They pick DPS and go 4-18 and as a support main I can only do so much.

A "counter-argument" against role caps in Marvel Rivals I've seen someone say "just make friends!". Yes, b/c putting a band-aid on a gaping-wound is effective, right? I don't understand this mentality. "lol just get friends, game is better, duh," is so braindead.

"Role limiting in Marvel Rivals would just incentivize insta-locking!" My rivals in christ, THEY ALREADY DO THAT. Insta-locking has hit max capacity. It literally can't go any further. Role queuing is too strict, so limits will (albeit slowly) FORCE them to flex play instead.
