I've been playing on loop the intro song to #ShellGames upcoming VR game 'I Expect You To Die 3'. The vocals are so good. Oh and I really enjoyed the demo at #PAXWest https://youtu.be/J4KgdaWF03E?si=iFWQ4zmQoW0ksN6O

Some shots from Pax West, featuring some of the #ttrpg things I saw. The Larian studios booth was cool, loved the Acquisition’s incorporated show, and my friends picked me up this “Root” book in an attempt to get me to run it for them haha.

#PAXWest was excellent. Played a bunch of very cool games, hung out with my internet friends, and ate homemade Russian street pies!

Everyone had a great time. We'll be back next year with a larger group!

Hey, so a trans friend of mine (not a dude) got told to use the men's at the recent #PAXWest, by venue staff, and- what the fuck?

Also speakers getting mis-gendered apparently?

Is PAX regressing? This used to all be not a thing, really?

So apparently the Tabletop area at #PaxWest is kind of hidden, making it hard for casual con-goers to discover. 😭
But today is the last day to peruse the tabletop games and find your new favorite game, that even grandma and your little nephew can enjoy!

Seek out the treasures hidden in Summit Hall, across from the Paramount Theater, where you can find the Tabletop Co-op at Booth 89, and get your grubby hands on your very own copy of FlapJack Flipout!

Lookee what someone gave me today at PAX West/Nintendo Live today as a tip :shiba_excited: :shiba_love:

I like being able to afford food and bills, but tips like this are so nice :espeon_love:

3 days down, 1 to go. I hope you all sleep well so we can all enjoy tomorrow to the fullest. I'll be around playing my violin~

I went to #PAXwest for the first time yesterday!​ Saw a lot of cool games! The most exciting one for me is Fae Farm. Love the cozy and fairy aesthetics and can't wait to play it with my friends. I also bought a cute purple cat dice set and a couple of cat themed TeeTurtle shirts (yes I love cats :neocat:​)

How about a thread of indie videogames at #PAXWest that caught my eye? Let’s start with the obvious: every single game at @panic’s booth is great. The British slapstick Thank Goodness You’re Here!, the monochrome life-of-a-housefly simulator Time Flies, the gorgeous musical food toy Nour, nostalgic Ecuadorian playground soccer narrative Despelote… Not to mention all the Playdate games, which had a constant queue of eager fans. My best of show, easily. https://youtu.be/bYTtLdU8TfQ

It was the recipient of the Major Fun Award (which is kind of a Big Deal) and featured in…Popular Mechanics??!! (I don’t know; I wasn’t really paying attention on that one.)

I have it on good authority that there are limited copies available, so get it before it’s sold out!

So #PaxWest is nearly halfway over. Have you had a chance to visit the Tabletop games in Summit Hall, across from the Paramount Theater?
It’s where my favorite game, FlapJack Flipout is available to play and buy, in the Tabletop Co-op Booth 89.

You’re a short order cook vying for a job at the local diner. Best your opponents with your superior pancake-flipping skills and ability to keep all your orders straight. It’s fast-paced & perfect for parties.

You're not supposed to be allowed into the Bring Your Own PC area unless you have a seperate badge for it, but I sweet-talked one of the enforcers to escort me in to get pics of these incredible custom build PCs!

Lots of copper pipes and glow, I don't even know how to describe this one, I'm sorry!

Reminder for #PIGSquad folks at #PaxWest - meet up with us at 5:15 outside the Seattle Indies Expo! We'll take the group photo around 5:30.

If you're not a "regular" or are merely PIGSquad-curious, you're welcome to join us! No Pax badge required.

This giant wooden novelty gameboy with an LED display was playable! Most people found it super awkward but I actually got pretty far! The challenge was that the closer you got to the screen the harder it was to be able to see it properly.

Friday and Saturday were fun at #PAXWest!

There were more indie booths than I remember seeing before. I didn’t see as many visual novels as previous years, anyone else? One visual novel that I tried that I liked a lot was Sucker For Love, where I believe we can romance some eldritch type gods. Another fun game was Time Flies, which is where you are a fly and you 70 seconds to live and you must choose what you do before you die. #IndieGame

A purple and green sign at a booth that says Sucker For Love with a sub title of Date to Die For. There’s a monitor on the sign that shows the demo was complete. The monitor text reads “Thanks for playing! Coming soon”. There’s a hopeful and sparkly anime illustration underneath the monitor.
A large sign reads “Time Flies” in stark black and white with a lot of white space. The main character, a fly, is near the title text. The art style is thin, pixels black lines. The bottom of the image is the back of two convention goers heads who are playing the game on monitors in front of them.

‘Bloodlines 2’ now being developed by The Chinese Room* seems like good and, if not bad, at least weird news. The worlds and writing in their previous games are great, but will they tone down the game from action RPG to something TCR are more familiar with? Otherwise this might go horribly wrong, still.

* And a lot of staff from other Sumo Digital studios, I presume, because it doesn’t make sense otherwise.

#VampireTheMasquerade #VtM #Bloodlines2 #PaxWest

Huh, #Bloodlines2 still has un-life in it? Now due in Fall 2024 after a new studio took the helm? #PAXWest

The Art of Nintendo Power exhibit at #PAXwest was super neat!

That's an actual oil on canvas Castlevania that was done for the cover!

Saw a ton of cool stuff at #paxWest yesterday, but my favorite moment was when I stumbled through the veil and spent untold centuries wandering the space between universes

A large, featureless section of convention center. White walls, concrete floor, absolutely no signage or human beings

So many cool things from my first day at #PAXwest yesterday.
I got to play the new Yakuza/Like A Dragon game that's coming out in November,
I got to see the new Atari 2600+,
I got to play a PlayDate!

@LoadingReadyRun If you're at #PAXWest this weekend, LoadingReadyRun has a bunch of this new hoodie design on hand, in a huge range of sizes, and they will happily engage in commerce to get one into your hands.

If you're ordering online, and your size is sold out, leave your email for a restock alert. After #PAX, the unsold merch will get shipped back to the warehouse, and within a couple weeks, it should be added back into stock for the webstore.

Speaking of things that are happening again (already?!):

Today is Day 1 of #PaxWest and you can buy my favorite indie tabletop game, FlapJack Flipout! It's a fast-paced dexterity/memory game that's fun for all ages and a great ice breaker game at family gatherings and parties.

Check it out in the Summit Tabletop/Flex Hall, booth TT89, where the Tabletop Co-op is representing all sorts of fun indie #TabletopGames

I e been to plenty of (comic) cons, but #PAXWest will be my first game centric con.

Yes, I’ve seen all the horrible accounts of bad hygiene. But it sure is… something to see most “how to PAX!” guides either open or include “fucking shower you degenerates.” Like, seriously. #PAX #PAXWest23

I want to attend a #PAX next year, need to save for it. Hope to take Amtrak from Chicago, but might fly, we'll see. I love trains.

Saw some posts in r/PAX that #PAXEast leans a little more towards indie games—which would be my preference—while #PAXWest leans a little more AAA. Does that seem right?

However, I have friends in Seattle, so West could be much cheaper. What else should I know about while planning (been to a lot of comiccons, but not a gaming con)? Tips? Experiences?

A decade later as he hangs up his #indiegamedev hat his complex challenging works - what some might call music for musicians have earned their own genre name: "Zachlikes"

Today #IGR look at #TheLastBBS a collection of amazingly tricky and loveable nostalgic minigames from #Zachtronics bundled up with metanarrative glue and gosh darn we liked it.
