CHANGE OF DATE
Due to surprise work obligations the @GamesTrnsfrmd@TWT_NOW stream has been short-notice shunted back one day. Mandatory Redistribution Party's Radical Playtest will now be on Saturday evening!
This Friday Mandos is doing a livestream!
We'll be looking at the games made for @TWT_NOW's game jam Games Transformed (@GamesTrnsfrmd).
We'll be looking at some of the submissions and talking about what it means for a videogame to be politically radical.
