I think it would be great to make a list of games on ITCH.IO. A /c/games curated selection of games worth playing.
Weird games, inventive games, classic games, chill games, leftie games, trans games, physical games, Pen & Paper RPGs, sad games, anything beyond or in-between. They don’t have to be complete or anything, just games you enjoyed and think others would as well. Or, at the very least, games you found interesting.
If you have any recommendations, please post them. We can support smaller and independent developers, support new ideas, and share great games with strangers on the internet.
:kropotkin-big: It’s like mutual aid but for games :kropotkin-big:

Oh shit, I’m a big dummie, didnt realize this was here. I’ve been playing through all the games in the Bundle for Racial Justice, so I’ll start posting some of the more interesting games here
Out of the games from the Bundle I’ve played so far (which is only about 30 out of like 1000 lol) here are some recommendations
I’ve been attempting to curate a community ran recommendations list for about half a year now. Do you want to join me? I don’t know much about Itch.io, but I’m sure I can pick it up quick. We’ve had about 30 threads so far.
I’ve found a few good games from the itch.io Palestine and BLM bundles.
Democratic Socialism Simulator
This is just going to be a list of things that I have from the BLM or Palestine bundles or that are pay what you want that I think might be worth checking out. I haven’t played all of them myself, so take it with a grain of salt, but I have seen all of them recommended by people who I have some level of faith in. The ones marked are ones that I think are definitely worth looking at.
