- Nothing fills my cup more than seeing my fellow indie devs, and in this case I’m proud to say my friends, succeed in launching their game. I’m beyond excited for the team at Pengonauts, they’ve created one of the best in the genre with StarVaders Go play it! Support an indie!

- Reposted by localthunkoh my god you've been teasing Blue Prince this whole time
- Blue Prince is already one of the best games I’ve ever played and I still feel like I’m scratching the surface. Released today but lucky me I’ve been playing it all week (perks of the job) Get a journal, a pen, and buy the game already
- Catch my goofy ass card game in the new season of Black Mirror
- Anyone see Jimbo walking around with a BAFTA? My dude locked me in the bathroom and wrote his own speech
- Reposted by localthunkHere to say everything everyone is saying about Blue Prince is true. It's so good. It's my GOTY so far. Trust me in saying you should go into it knowing as little about its mechanics as possible, it's so much more fun that way!
- Blue Prince will get a GOTY nomination at TGA
- Apparently Balatro videos are being rated 18+ on YouTube now for gambling Good thing we are protecting children from knowing what a 4 of a kind is and letting them watch CS case opening videos instead
- I'm gonna rinse him, he has no shot
- Those that know nothing about Ed McMillen: is he okay? Those that know anything about Ed McMillen: this is going to be a fucking masterpiece www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyWc...
- Beat every deck on every difficulty! I still want to 100% the game, I'm having a really great time and I think I know my game a lot better now. I also think all this time playing has killed any negative emotions I had toward it after all the stress from launch.
- one of my fav moments from GDC - they had a booth set up to play Balatro since it was an award nominee. I watched for a bit then I gave it a go myself. Crushed a white stake run someone approached me as I was about to leave 'Wow you must have played this before!' 'I guess you could say that'
- Oh I've also been playing Nubby's Number Factory lately and it's the first time since launch where I can honestly say that if you enjoy Balatro you will also probably get down with Nubby That game absolutely has the secret sauce

- Working on beating Jokerless and uhhhh this game is kinda bullshit isn’t it
- Now imagine my game yells BALATRO at you on startup but every person has a different pronunciation of Balatro depending on their user ID to sew chaos
- Reposted by localthunkBring back the game splash screen that yells the name of the game at you
- GDC was dope Highlight for me was playing the first ever card game using the Balatro playing cards with a bunch of really awesome indie dev friends I had met over the past couple years!
