Another Games Week, another unhinged @massivemonster.bsky.social event! ๐Ÿ‘

The Cult of the Lamb Puppet Show was sublime - massive puppets true to the characters, and a story that unravels the origins of The Lamb and the Old Faith.

Great work to the team at Golden Scissor Puppets. ๐Ÿ‘

For years I've been collecting a stack of #indiegame stickers - usually bring a few home from each event. But never knew what to do with them.

Figured it was about time they got some appreciation, so I decked out my work notebook. Turned out great!

Take a look and see if you recognise any games. ๐Ÿ‘€
