It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these but Bluesky suspending accounts over the mildest posts reminded me that blogs and personal websites are good and should have more attention, so here’s some posts I liked. Since it’s been a while and I kinda of a backlog on my rss feed reader, there’s some older posts in here and other things not on here just because I haven’t read them yet. Anyway, if you like any of these blogs then consider adding them to your RSS feed reader!

If you’ve been bored with how this site has fallen off with indie game coverage at the moment, I feel like Wraithkal has always done a great job and is always writing about games I never heard of like Woodo.

Does anyone know about this Mystery McDonalds Machine?

Atari Archive can make anything interesting, even the history of a 3D tic tac toe game.

Dinoberry Press wrote a retrospective on their ttrpg Dinocar, which I’m a massive fan of and loved playing with my kids.

Michael Coorlim has been uploading lots of BASIC programs to a Bear Blog. He’s also been doing an epistolary Let’s Play blog of the games Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas on another Bear Blog. Both are great.

Andrew Plotkin analyzed the Hugos and how they do their game award.

Dhippo.net wrote about another Hugo.

Game designer Farfama wrote about playing ICO. Obviously I am a fan of people blogging about games after playing them and making it more of an experience than just “another game to get through in the backlog.” Which is probably another reason I’m grumpy about the site Backloggd.

It just makes me happy to hear that the Myst Online community is still active and doing meetups.

And finally I’ll end today’s post with some nice pictures of a dog. Hope you’re doing well and have had/are having a nice weekend.
