Title: 2025, dec 9 - fifty indie game recommendations
Post by: droqen on December 09, 2025, 04:22:47 PM
i first encountered zaratustra's inclusion of The End of Gameplay in a 50 indie game recommendation (https://bsky.app/profile/zaratustra.bsky.social/post/3m7kbqwkyb22e) that had something to do with the game awards:

but it's always sylvie doing something that makes me want to do it lol. sylvie tried: "can i recommend 50 indie games. probably not (https://bsky.app/profile/sylviefluff.bsky.social/post/3m7kz6deaf22u)" and gave up after 10 games: "tapping out at 10 indie games, recommending stuff is too hard. now i'm forced to watch 80% of the game awards or something i forget what the original post said (https://bsky.app/profile/sylviefluff.bsky.social/post/3m7l52dtda22u)"
