Someone on Bluesky was daring people to "name 50 good indie games you bought that came out this year" - well, I can't afford new games, so instead, here's 50 good (and slightly less good) games I played this year regardless of when they came out.

I just bought another one, Squeakross by @LukaTheMouse, and this is why I still haven't finished Princess Farmer, Kitsune Tails, Quantum Witch, Blobun, any of the cool games made by Fedi people, I haven't even finished Improbable Island yet and I'm probably not gonna because the creator is a dick but anyway back to Squeakross, it's a nonogram game (like Mario's Picross) paired with a house-decorating doofer and first of all the game itself is a joy to play but secondly holy shit the coats of lacquer this guy's brushed onto this, like whoa, you can see your face in it. Polish upon polish upon polish

Dear FediMind, I have a question for you: Does anyone know the name of a mid to late 1980’s french sci-fi movie I remember seeing on TV? I remember it was set in the future, probably WW3. It followed the crew of a tank or some kind of similar vehicle with a crew of 4-6 persons. The whole movie was shot inside the tank, even the scenes in which some action happened outside. I’ve searched everywhere online but can't seem to find any trace of it. (1/2)

Also, the previous release got rolled back because the emscripten version was broken, so this release is the debut of some features that got held back.

The biggest of which is that the game is now playable on mobile! You can install it as a Progressive Web App (PWA) on Android machines, and there are touch screen controls that pop up.

btw, if you want a cheap computer:

ex-corporate kit on eBay is a goldmine. desktops, laptops. reasonably powerful desktops are SO CHEAP. many vendors with a 6mo warranty too.

(if you want usable graphics, business PCs with AMD chips have Ryzen graphics and not the Intel rubbish.)

@Eliot_L for like four years (at my second to last job) i really wanted a folding bluetooth keyboard for my phone, so i could tap out chunks of fiction or blog posts during downtime at work, and just stash it in my pocket when not in use.

alas i only ever found one pocket keyboard and it was very chattery and awful πŸ˜”β€‹
