From a pure value perspective, Twitter for me fell into the same hole as Facebook and Reddit. You don't get any meaningful moments or connections, you just scroll and scroll, wasting hours and getting nothing from it. You are voluntarily giving up pieces of your lifetime.
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 16h agoIt's not even the ethics of it. My career, my hobbies, my free time, hell, my whole life took off once I fully left Twitter. It is a place to go if you want to be stuck in a neverending race war feedback loop. Like not using ChatGPT, not using Twitter is a superpower. Remain employable; stay off it.
Got so many thoughts about #KnightsOfGuinevere. But, I desperately want to see the series continue and see what it can do once it gets properly up to speed. youtu.be/vluX-LA1Vc8

Sleepy Hollow Reviews 🎃🐎@sleepingvillage.bsky.social · last wk.In honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?
Not sure if anyone can relate, but I was HUNTING today for some kind of a notebook with detachable pages that I could reorder and reorganize. This was for my Japanese studies. I know it's not the most common thing to look for, but I was surprised I only found one, with crappy, soft covers.
We’re on the hunt for games writers! Our dream? To find our next staff writer… But freelance opportunities come up each and every month, too. Please DM @mostlyalright.com (Nick, our Games Editor) or if you’re old-school like us, you can also send an email: nick@teamdebug.com Location irrelevant
By the way, we’re always on the lookout for writers of interesting gaming features… We are very much indie, and there are also limits to what will fit into a print magazine, but we do pay decent rates! Our standard rate is £300 for a researched 1500 word piece. Transparency is good, folks!
Hi, everyone! Does anyone have a Vgen invite code they can share?
I wrote a lot of this game and I suspect this is the thing that gets more attention than anything else I did for it. I'm okay with it. www.ign.com/articles/rem...

Hey, about three months later I am still looking for work. I have done senior level work, I’m comfortable owning zones, writing cutscenes, and environmental narrative. Open to working in other mediums as well.
Zaire@zeestermeester.bsky.social · 4mo agoIf anyone is looking to hire a Peabody and BAFTA winning senior writer, I am looking for work. I’ve got six years experience in games. Everything from indie to AAA. I am not married to staying in games. I am hoping to relocate to the Bay Area. I am keeping my ears to the ground.
I'm so honoured to have been a part of this as one of the writers. Congratulations to everyone involved. Thousand Hells is out now! Check it out, there's nothing quite like it.

Hacked together a very simple Special Effect for the battle Songs today. It's more style than substance, but a better base to iterate from than what I had. #ScreenshotSaturday #ScreenShotSaturday #GameDev #SoloDev #KalevalaseuranTuella

I'm rewatching Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Easily belongs among the top animated movies of the last century. From a writing perspective, the trifecta of villains is beyond brilliant; you got the sympathetic villains, pure evil villain and force of nature.
