Not a particularly interesting article necessarily, but I wanted to share this as the list is actually quite good in my opinion, and it's laid out very nicely. It's one page that's very easy to scroll through. Might find some things you havent played!

Whatcha been playing!

I finished the little metroidvania crypt custodian which was super fun! Highly recommend. Also been playing a lot of the super Mario Sunshine mod that came out "Super Mario Eclipse." Adds lots of qol stuff to the game and fun new movement, on top of 120 new shines it's really fun!

But most of all I have been playing tf out of Astro Bot. Holy shit this is one of my new all time favorites. This game is so insanely good. Absolutely in love with it

An insanely close race that was the focus of WA state for the last few weeks with a lot of lessons learned I think.

1. Down ballot races matter. Upthegrove got second by only 53 votes in the end. Vote!

2. Washington's mail voting system works. There were roughly 10 vote numbers changed in the entire state after the hand recount was done.

3. First past the post voting is awful. The Democrats got the majority of votes, but it was split between 5 candidates vs the 2 Republican candidates. We almost had a general election with 2 Republicans up in an extremely blue state. 2 candidates who are in the pocket of the timber industry.

Whatcha all playing!

I finally finished crow country. Game was great! I thought the puzzles started off a little too easy but they got better as the game went on. Really hope to see more games from this dev soon!

Started crypt custodian. A really solid top down metroidvania. I'm about 5 hours in and am at 50% completion. So pretty short overall I'd say. Def recommend if you're looking for a quick fun time

Absolutely the best way to place this game. Huge props to everyone who worked on this!
