For the last couple of months, I've been writing a weekly column on #indiegames on @hard-drive.net, via its non-fiction Minus World section.

This week's column is on Spitfire Interactive's CAPES, which I didn't know was getting a total rework until I was already racing my deadline. Oops.

I tried something a little new that finally went live today on @hard-drive.net: a group review of Illfonic's recent release KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE.

My latest indie-game column for @hard-drive.net is up. I've taken a look at THE TOWER ON THE BORDERLAND and passed the savings on to you.

Sometimes I feel like modern indies are just a series of increasingly inscrutable subgenre tags. This is a Eurojank, Soulslike, survival horror action game.

Running a little late, but my weekly indie review column on @hard-drive.net is up. This time, I followed up on a recommendation from @hokutolucas.bsky.social from a while back and checked out HAROLD HALIBUT. I think he liked it more than I did, though.

My weekly column on @hard-drive.net is up. This week, I cleared 3D Realms' PHANTOM FURY, and spend some time unpacking exactly why. Warning: this column is largely about how old I am and how long I've been doing this.

My latest indie-games review column is up on Hard Drive's Minus World section. This week, I'm talking about an idle-clicker dungeon crawler, along with capsule takes on BROTATO, UNSTOPPABLE, and Nightdive's PO'ed remaster.

My latest indie-games column for @hard-drive.net is up. This week, I'm back on my survival horror bullshit by talking about the relatively new release CROW COUNTRY.

I'm running a little late, but my newest indie-game column is up on @hard-drive.net 's Minus World section.

This time, I covered the twitchiest shooter in years, MULLET MAD JACK, which is sort of like a '90s anime OVA that you can play in 10-second increments.

I'm back at @hard-drive.net 's Minus World section to talk about one of the only things I ever talk about: weird survival horror games.
