WindowKill - $4.99

The most clever bullet hell I've ever played, best experienced on mouse and keyboard.

Windosill - $2.99

More of an interactive art piece. Very short but I still think about it years later. (Some of their other stuff is available online for free and is similarly enjoyable)

Magic Wand - $3.99

Like a surreal, jumbled mess that seems to parody a badly translated JRPG. Another short and sweet experience.

HYPER DEMON - $14.99*

Like a nightmarish fever dream. If you like old school FPS mechanics like rocket jumping and bunnyhopping you'll feel right at home. This one is a little difficult to show people gameplay of because it looks impossible to decipher, but when you're actually playing it and really start to get entranced, it's an experience like nothing else. The way it gives you a 360 fov is an incredible mechanic.
*(It's also 40% off for ~40 hours as of this comment, making it $8.99)

Chicory: A Colorful Tale - $19.99

My favorite game of all time. Adorable puzzle game where you paint the world, with a story about what makes someone an artist. One thing I really like about this is the open ended way it lets you approach creative tasks; It's up to you to decide how much you want to invest, there's no scoring system to gamify the art portions, which is very in-line with the story to me.
Edit: Oh, and a great soundtrack by Lena Raine!

It's bunny day, so it seemed fitting to take out my tea pet.

Tea is Jinggu "Wild Tree Purple Moonlight White" from Yunnan Sourcing. I've only had white tea a handful of times, really enjoyed it. A little bitter, and felt like a lot of different flavors I couldn't really identify. I just know I liked it! Made it to about 10 steeps before it started losing flavor, so even the smaller 25g sample I got should last me a good while.

Yeah I drink tea, now what am I supposed to believe in?

Idk someone could probably brute force it in only a few trillion years, I'd make it longer if you plan to be using Twitch long-term.

Looking up local stuff definitely seems best. Lots of good wildlife rehabs around me, that's usually my go-to.

I spend 1/3rd of my life asleep, and the pillow would guarantee that third is good and memorable. Absolutely the pillow.

Pan's Labyrinth
The way it's telling this dark fairy tale with the backdrop of fascism in Francoist Spain, combining real world and fantasy, is just so incredibly well done. It also has one of the most memorably evil antagonists of any media I've experienced, and some very creepy and beautiful creature designs done with practical effects. Everything just comes together perfectly in this movie.

Warframe. Always coming back to Warframe. It's just too fun making my murdermachines look pretty, and there's always something new to work toward. The game also runs incredibly well for how good it looks and how much is going on at once, I should NOT be able to run it at max settings 4k at 60fps with a mid-range gaming PC.
Plus it's really fun getting those big red damage numbers on enemies with the right builds, and I still haven't played another game with a movement system as fun as this one.

I've also been having fun with Armored Core VI, minus the out of place bosses. They definitely just put them in to be like "Look! We have the FromSoft™ bosses!" I ended up making a cheese build to effectively skip them. The actual mech combat parts are really fun though, and I love trying all the different kinds of loadouts! Runs well on a Steam Deck too which is always good.

Just about at the end of the first season, so lots more to see

Pinc Louds - Shaking (www.youtube.com)
submitted 1 year ago by Serz@beehaw.org to c/music@beehaw.org

I love Pinc Louds and try to share them with my friends as much as I can, they're so unique and energetic! "Watching Snow" is my favorite song of theirs, but this one has a fun music video to introduce people with so I went with it. They really are a special group and I hope this reaches some new fans!

I've really been enjoying Adventure Time lately, so I'm glad to hear this! I don't know why I didn't watch it when it originally aired but I've been missing out; I'll be checking this show out once I finish up for sure.

Awesome! The AI summarizer is very useful, and it gives quality search results from my experience with the free trial. $10 a month still seems a little high for a search engine, though I'm definitely eyeing it more now...

Hopefully we see more competition in the future with paid search engines, this seems to be new territory where everyone is still pretty unsure of the right pricing. I think $5 a month is going to be the sweet spot for me.

Magic Wand - 48 reviews.

This person makes some weird games, most of them free. Just check out their beautiful website!

This is a trippy isometric RPG, takes maybe an hour to finish, and plays like a total fever dream. It was weird and mostly didn't make sense and I loved it. I think it's all told out of order too.

I found this developer sometime last year and just really enjoy their general philosophy on making games.

If you don't know what a videogame is or what they're supposed to do with one that's cool, nobody else does either. Chew up garbage media and use the mulch to make cool hives to store the tiny, stupid things you care about

She made her nest in our backyard, giving me the perfect chance to get a nice picture! The babies fell out a few times and we had to put them back in, but they all made it!
