Games media collapsed, whatever's left can only handle a few big games & non-stop coverage of Xbox (good or bad) There's so many recent, fresh gems with barely any media presence, you have to hunt them :/ [contains quote post or other embedded content]25 Aug 2026 22:46 +0000at://did:plc:2pf42rbhkw5k7phpcmduow2h/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtwvjmiub22yhttps://bsky.app/profile/felipepepe.bsky.social/post/3mtujjawdh22qWonderful bundle: https://www.humblebundle.com/games/indies-support-for-venezuela-bundle This is your chance to do two things: - Get several excellent games including the criminally underrated "Mexico, 1921. A Deep Slumber" - Actually help Venezuela instead of just posting "but Maduro is bad!" while the US colonizes the country.25 Aug 2026 00:06 +0000at://did:plc:2pf42rbhkw5k7phpcmduow2h/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtujjawdh22qhttps://bsky.app/profile/felipepepe.bsky.social/post/3mttfsetwr22bCool intro cutscene for Quest of Persia 3: Nader's Blade, an Iranian game from 2007. Seems like the Aria Animation Studio that made this is the same that made the animated movie "The Gools" in 2022. Interesting example of how building expertise & resources is a long-term thing.

Vejo isso explorando jogos clássicos de Taiwan, Coréia, Irã, etc... não importa o quanto eu divulgue, nenhum desses podcast / influencers retrô fala sobre eles - oq vende é nostalgia, não informação nova :/ [contains quote post or other embedded content]22 Aug 2026 22:44 +0000at://did:plc:2pf42rbhkw5k7phpcmduow2h/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtpdz3hars23https://bsky.app/profile/felipepepe.bsky.social/post/3mtogv2x7ps2ePostei sobre ele em inglês ontem, hj repito em PT-BR q Subversive Memories é foda: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2821110/Subversive_Memories/ Gameplay redondinho e história excelente sobre memórias da ditadura.

Love its alternate history 1940s Europe setting. Only complaint is that the XP system is extremely over-designed, hope they improve it.22 Aug 2026 08:27 +0000at://did:plc:2pf42rbhkw5k7phpcmduow2h/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtnu4emkrk2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/felipepepe.bsky.social/post/3mtl5rc3oj22jThis made me realize there are Oblivion & Skyrim skins for Winamp, but no Morrowind...

An obscure 2-3 hour indie survival horror with only 133 reviews on Steam can make a youtuber do a 1h essay on Brazil's military dictatorship - such is the power of games.
