« (…) where they validate each other’s bad takes » Sir you nailed it - allow me to reuse that wording next time I deal with the Lidl-grade local gamedev cesspool 🙏🏻
@Mangalawyer Of course they did. Gaming media lost the plot ages ago. Now it’s just a circlejerk where they validate each other’s bad takes. No surprise Veilguard is their game of the year.

When Xmas approaches, such a delight to get some trad Brit surprise box (@CadburyUK!) from Based indie partner @DynoStorm ! See the project he works on, Westmen, restoring white dignity 1 pixel at a time 🙏🏻 (With @itsbasedgamejam at the bottom of the screen)

Meanwhile, small villages of indomitable indies hold out against the legions of wokies! Meet the heroes Blackthorn Winter (@Morena_Vesna) Warden (paladin), Summoner (Warlock), Elemental (Wizard), Huntress (Archer). Yes, that's Babushka. Finest Rakija & Gibanica in the Balkans!
2015: Heroes we wanted to be. 2025: Characters we’re forced to relate to. What happened to making games fun?

Yes @TaitoCorp, you opened a tab in 1987 with Arkanoid. We're here to settle it—with interest.
Blackthorn Winter just got friendlier for casual gamers with the introduction of difficulty modes! While the game is meant for hardcore arcade fans, we know not everyone has a grudge against Arkanoid. Whether you're here for nostalgia or just to chill, we've got you covered.

So refreshing— Had my share of their tokenism and "tolerance" culture. "They hide like cockroaches now that the light's on. Still, they infest the small time indie scene, and big AAA." Sounds like a great opening to a purge-inspired FPS about the local indie scene for this jam!

Woot, @Morena_Vesna that sounds like you, "fiercest Slavic folklore battles". Too bad my aim is off in your #blackthornwinter Very tempting @itsbasedgamejam hope I can join, it happens precisely the moment my studio's game enters the starting blocks 🥵
Thursday 4PM EST, it's choppin time! ⚔️ Imagine the fiercest Slavic folklore battles, but with the precision of a Swiss watch. You'll dodge, block, and strike with the grace of a bear wrestling a pine tree. A ritual of strength and honor. Don't miss this QA!

"Westmen is a survival tower offence game where you fight hordes of game journalists, furries, anime fans, and other degenerate spiteful abominations" Reminds me of unsavoury encounters in the local gamedev scene 😆👾 Happy to work on a game with you @DynoStorm! #gamedev
Destroy Weebs, Furries, Journalists and more in our new prototype game WESTMEN! It's like a hybrid of Vampire Survivors / Team Fortress 2! Try it today for free! :) https://t.co/aAKJ6kpHib

Why the obsession with superheroes? It’s just grown-ups idolizing other grown-ups in spandex, pretending to break the laws of physics while throwing punches that’d get them KO’d in a real bar fight. #thoughtoftheday

🔊🔊🔊 Driving the van tonight; the SD card soundtrack begged the question: what do you call the niche for die hard #AtariST nostalgics who fantasise making a Crusader No Regrets x Thief original series remix, with a #STALKER vibe? #retrogaming @GSC_GW @ArboreaMeltdown

These should be referred to as "Edgeless Eerie Blocks". #Portal fans might ask where the "Companion Eerie Blocks" are, and that's an easter egg on our TODO list. Wishlist today: https://t.co/cgpkrC4f5U Claim your free copy, subscribe: https://t.co/vjT0udZbwp

Seriously, each spell has a "funFactor" variable assigned to it. Oh, and "orbs" are called "balls" in the code & config files, as in "the huntress has the kind of lady-orbs it takes to face Kikimora". Jeez, trigger alert. #devlife #indiegame #IndieGameDev #dadjokes
PoV: dev mode, all mobs drop loot. Catch scrolls to cast a random spell and preview what the game has in store for you! Wishlist #BlackthornWinter : https://t.co/03N6xhTh1V N.B. The final blast is Echoes of Jarovic: 300% dmg to all! #indiegame #devlife #pixelart #retrogamer
