@ludumdare.com hello! Any way of knowing if ld58 is happening in a month's time? There's the countdown on ldjam.com but other than that I can't really tell? Thanks for all your good work!

Kinda sucks that when I see "Weird Al" in headlines now my first thought is ugh not another LLM thing

@sowronggames.bsky.social heyo! Have you folks heard about/made comments re: the alleged Joyride plagiarism of Corne van Moorsel's Powerboats? Apologise if so since I'm perpetually not up to date with episodes but do eventually listen to them all 😅 nuance sought! youtu.be/KVR4SPFKUFg?...

Ah we have circled back to the platform posts about the platform discourse (tweets about twitter) era again

One of the more accursed things about the modern internet is how once you interact with something, its ads will follow you incessantly. Even if you've already bought the damn thing.

@sowronggames.bsky.social just heard the controversial netrunner episode lol, in which y'all also lamented the lack of good adventure games. I don't suppose you've tried Arkham Horror LCG? I'm a netrunner fan but stopped playing because I no longer enjoyed deck construction.

Instagram just tried to sell me a verified badge for $15/month. (Or a "discounted" $24/month for both fb + Insta accounts!) I guess musk is trend setting in all the worst ways.

Astounded at the frequency of posts in game design groups that amount to "here's a barebones designless game idea, design my game please"

Forget inbox zero, #slack has ordained me inbox GOD

The trend I'm seeing of lefty-seeming celebrities siding with Isreal and normies without oodles of wealth siding with Palestine... What's your read?

The next #jozi #gamedev #meetup is coming! 12 Oct (2nd Thursday of each month) An exciting surprise! We'll have very special guests from the esteemed publisher #annapurnaInteractive coming to visit and share in some wisdom! Come say hi at the Goethe-Institute Jozi next week! Squeeee!

Peter's at it again. I wonder whether he's coming up with Zeitgeist ideas or the Zeitgeist is riding him. I thought crypto games have finally faded away www.pcgamer.com/peter-molyne...

Using hashtags in case the feature arrives retroactively 🥲

I like reboxing games. A new doodle for the new box for my #shardsofinfinity, the old one, not the new fancy #kickstarter big box edition. I like deck builders and I can't deny. #tabletop #deckbuilder

I appreciate that "Translate this post" button exists here, but every one I've tapped on opens Google Translate with nothing in it.

"hey tell the lawyers team if they don't jack up the views on that terms page we're gonna have to pull it"

What, can't attach videos on this? What is this, 2012?

Do you know what "Dutch angle" is? Google it, thank me later :)

Hey I made a quick welcome guide to BlueSky :) There's tons more, but I think these few steps will get you up and enjoying it quickly.

Went through my Twitter follows to follow most of them here, semi-manually. It was quite a nostalgic trip down memory lane, and hopefully they'll mostly be active here... It'll be like the heydays of birdapp... Maybe?
