The Culver City protest was nuts. Covered what looked like more than 4 blocks, crowd spilled into the street, No Kings organizers gave up, everyone marched in circles, front rank proceeded down the street to block even more traffic. Lib grndma demo fully activated. This summer will be very cool :)

there's a men's streetwear brand we've been seeing a lot here that causes maddie and I to immediately enter silly goose mode and go "nina pasadena mentioned??? skin deep mentioned??????" whenever we spot it

thank god Snap & Grab finally got announced bc i’ve been thinking about this since Skin Deep came out

Possessor(s) developer @heartmachine.bsky.social dropped the first in a series of four animated shorts AND A DEMO ON STEAM! PC + PS5 | 2025 💔

Possessor(s) Demo is Out Now! Surprise! The Free Demo lets you play the First Hour of the game, featuring the games intro, the first region, and an exciting boss fight! store.steampowered.com/app/2132890/...

Was glad to be able to talk about Pill Baby - a game which is short but feels absolutely massive, crammed with combat systems, side quests, expressive art interludes, hideous enemies, slow-mo kills, and intense stuff about what it's like to be an immigrant moving to a wealthy country for work

The Mod Museum has some great shit in it. Even if you're not planning to mod skin deep, it's a wonderful little glimpse into what the creative process of level design was like for this team, what things they did invisibly to polish the environments, and so on

Mappers (especially those familiar with the Doom 3 engine, or The Dark Mod), please descend upon this game like a horde of locusts and produce endless funny cat rescue scenarios for me.

shortly before Skin Deep's release, I had a lengthy chat with @ghoulnoise.com about composing the soundtrack! we covered everything from the game's Bond-style theme to inspirations for its corporate propaganda songs to Snow's cat's cameos in the game

this was such a fun interview to do!!! please check it out if you're curious about the music of Skin Deep!

The newest adorable member of my scale model video game goo shelf is the Walkie Talkie item from Skin Deep. It's roughly 1:4 scale, but that's just a wild guess because it's a fictional object to begin with.

I have been working on this game for years and rolling around on the ground is still so funny to me that I have to watch a video of it every time one crosses into my field of vision

NEW DEV DIVE! In this interview with @blendogames.bsky.social and @lmichet.bsky.social we discuss the collaborative process and allowing comedy informing design- two things that made their new game Skin Deep as unique and excellent as it is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8g-... #Indiegames #gamedev

Skin Deep (2025)

… precious cargo tumbling through space / a hundred thousand miles of journeys pass before your sleeping face / vicious pirates, a creature without name / they’ll come with guns or gleaming claws/the outcome’s the same / in cryo …

I've never gotten many notes on my releases (in the past I barely promoted anything for fear of annoying people so this isn't surprising) Anyway, the fact that there's two on the Skin Deep ost already makes me 🥹 If you've got a favorite tune, leave a note! ghoulnoise.bandcamp.com/album/skin-d...

sometimes in skin deep i walk in front of a ship’s repairbot just to hear it say hello

This is starting in a couple minutes!

it’s a comfort to know that in the lowest moment of your life, at your most desperate and imperilled, nina pasadena might be just about to be unfrozen
