How Two Janitors Made One of the Year’s Most Charming RPGs ‘Kingdoms of the Dump’ reflects the democratization of video-game development.

Kingdoms of the Dump is one of the year's most charming RPGs, an Earthbound-inspired game set in a world made of trash, where you fight in landfills and heal with moldy sandwiches. Which is fitting — it was made by two janitors.

A warm ambient light illuminates a wooden table, casting radiating shadows from a decorative lamp. On the table, a white plate holds two folded rotis, a bowl of chole with a spoon, and a piece of tofu topped with mixed achaar, accompanied by grape tomatoes. A separate container of Icelandic yogurt with a spoon is placed beside the plate.

Sharing a different kind of design project today, a table that me and my friend @aylishtime.bsky.social built last spring. 😀

Finished it with an oil coat last week.

Hi all, if anyone can help, i'd appreciate a share.

I'm looking for good to very good copies of the Dreamwave books please.

Anyone not interested in keeping theirs anymore and want them to go to a good home, let me know and we can work out a deal.

"The Wedding Witch" by Erin Sterling.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love Sterling's other work (Ex Hex is an all-time fave romance) but this one just didn't hit with me. Wanted a little more slowburn development at the start. Felt too focused on the time travel plot than witchiness.

Cute winter vibe read!

Storygraph! You can import your Goodreads data - I'm really enjoying it, I prefer the UI and stats tracking :)

"Illuminae" book cover

"Illuminae" book cover

3.5 ⭐️ "Illuminae" by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

I wish that I loved this more. The concept and format are amazing but the story is character-driven w/ flat protags. "Snarky teenager" dialogue & writing...not for me.

Interesting worldbuilding. Won't finish the trilogy.

Fable vs. Storygraph vs. Goodreads?

I made a Storygraph last month & love the data visualization but all of my friends are on Goodreads & it's tough to have the same socialization on Storygraph.

I've heard good things about Fable, especially w/ book clubs - any strong preferences on #booksky?

"Severance" by Ling Ma! I see that you already have "Station Eleven" on the list so i have to recommend "Sea of Tranquility" as well :)

"The Three-Body Problem" by Cixin Liu book cover.

"The Three-Body Problem" by Cixin Liu book cover.

4.5 ⭐️ "The Three-Body Problem" by Cixin Liu.

Stunningly well-crafted and thoughtful but a little scientifically dense - a challenging read for sure.

Amazing sci-fi with mystery and heart.

I will now be taking an intro to physics course to better understand the sequels lol.

4⭐️

Fake relationship with a slowburn romance that feels...really REAL!

I love how Miles is just a nice chill guy and Daphne is a passionate, slightly high-strung librarian. I relate to her strict Whiteboard calendar and inability to socialize (very AuDHD-coded).

Cozy summer vibes

2.5 ⭐️
I wish that this book grabbed me as much as it promised to. Although the premise is a bit dark for my romantic sensibilities, I was hooked through the 1st half but slogged my way through the 2nd.

Wasn't rooting for the relationship & ironically disappointing, rushed ending.

Everything Glittered book cover by Robin Talley

Everything Glittered by Robin Talley

3.5 ⭐️ Highly recommend! A genuinely intriguing murder mystery with a cast of naive, lovable teenage sapphics in the roaring 20s. Such a fun story that takes a lot of care examining historical queerness and misogyny. Fast-paced & thrilling!
