CaveStoryRap, a full length walk-through rap album that takes the listener step by step through the indie masterpiece Cave Story.

"Join me on a lyrical walkthrough that not only pays tribute to Daisuke Amaya's groundbreaking work, but some pretty incredible hip-hop producers, as well."

I had to submit this so that I'd stop thinking about it.

Huh, a lot less #GDC hashtag activity on mastodon than I was expecting. On the bright side, that makes it a safe without overwhelming hashtag to follow!

Rather than kill off their tactical tabletop game The Other Side, Wyrd is releasing it on MyMiniFactory, where it'll be much cheaper to produce and support.

Here's a link to the game:

I'd love to see more publishers do this with their dormant miniatures games. Hey Ares, let us print and play Wings of Glory!

Here are a few answers to the questions we expect to see most often.

"Why haven't fighting games died yet?"

I wrote about the unique strengths of the fighting game genre that have allowed fighting games to survive multiple generations of evolution intact, and why you didn't fall in love with a product. Warning: This is a long one.

This one was a lot of fun to write, and took me about a week of morning writing sessions. This is the kind of work I want to do more of going forwards, and I'm really excited to dig into this kind of thing for a while and see where it takes me. Please give it a read and share with your own thoughts!

Please support my work on Patreon (https://patreon.com/pattheflip) or buy my book (https://patrickmiller.itch.io/from-masher-to-master-2). My work is the most impactful when it's freely accessible, but I need your help to keep it that way.
