it's so telling that liberals are more upset by like three hospital bomb droppers being killed than the hundreds of children and civilians killed. who is allowed to be human in war? not Iranians.

I’m actually not sure we can come back from β€œprediction markets for war crimes”, as a society. I think this might be it for us.

Denshattack!

Now THIS is a fucking video game! Easily the best one of the bunch. You've heard of the rail shooter, now get ready for the rail skater! I replayed the 3 levels of this demo no less than 5 times each and I was disappointed when I saw that end screen! Play Denshattack! or go to hell!

Wild Blue Skies on Steam Wild Blue Skies reimagines the classic on-rail adventures of the '90s. Join Bowie Stray and the Blue Bombers as they soar through the skies on a mission to save the world in this action-packed, nostal...

WildBlue Skies

This game set out to be StarFox 64 But Again, and on that front, it succeeded. Weird choices were made with how the game controlled, though. Auto firing was disabled by default, the aim sensitivity is low and the fire button is mapped to X on controller. Not intrusive, just weird.

Prime Monster

The politics stuff is just an aesthetic flourish, it really just functions as the mechanics for your standard card battler. I'm a big fan of the cutesy fantasy horror artstyle and the politics-based puns, but I'm not blown away by how she plays.

Jenny the Witch

One of the clunkier PS2-style hack and slash games I've played, and it feels a bit barebones. Lots of enemies in this just stand there and take the hits without being interrupted, and taking damage often seems like an inevitablility.

Mama's Sleeping Angels on Steam A 1 to 4 player Y2K dream-exploration game. Free your imaginary friends trapped to eternal sleep by the goddess Mama. Collect cursed items and use weapons to face the monsters in Mama's dreams.

Mama's Sleeping Angels

This one won't scare you, but it will disturb you deep in your core. It's a nostalgic echo of a long-dead childhood innocence that seems almost too artful for the friendslop item collection bones it has underneath it.

PAPERHEAD Demo on Steam PAPERHEAD Demo is a playable slice of the full game: an exclusive new level, gritty fast-paced combat, and eerie cardboard-world horror with full controller support!

PAPERHEAD

It's Doom with an Edmund McMillen-esque hand-crafted visual style. One part adorable, two parts bloody and disgusting and all around aggressively charming.

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

CICADAMATA" Demo Disc on Steam + I AM OKAY. THE AIR IS JUST HEAVY TODAY. +

Cicadamata

One of those games that really hits you in the desire to replay a level to shave just a few seconds off a run. I wanna like it, but Fuck. Me. I hate the overheat mechanic. Don't tell me I have 3 jumps, a dash and a fast fall if you're gonna just take them away from me every 3 seconds.

Bombun on Steam A bomb-throwing rabbit defends her floating fortress from her former friend turned foe.

Bombun

Love the style, and there's definitely something here with the bomberman mechanics applied to 3d platforming, but the demo doesn't excite me to push the limits of the bomb double-jump and dive as its main tech. I'll be keeping an eye on this to see if it's got more surprises up its sleeve.

PSI Demo on Steam A movement-based climbing game where you ascend on a suicide mission to save an amphibian cargo cult.

I don't normally go in for the rage games, but this one stands out by having its gimmick be based around ROCKET JUMPING! I was born for this! It's a bit clunky, but once you unlock the pressure gun, the world is in your froggy lil hands!

I'm trying to understand why people like eggs over easy, and after like 2 weeks of cooking it and nailing the technique where no whites are runny and the yolks are warm but still perfectly runny, I can say with confidence that it's booty.
