🎶Allow me to reintroduce myself my name is🎶

Hi, I’m Brenden host/editor at @passthecontroller.bsky.social and aside from chatting about video games and championing indies you can expect pictures of my cat, cocktails I’m creating, and what it’s like living in Salem, the witch city 🐈‍⬛

Shane and I are running a 5k next weekend in Prospect Park to raise money for Gaza through @unrwa.org.

It's pretty short notice, but we'd love to raise $1K for the cause! Please signal boost and donate if you can!

Have been eating and imbibing incredibly well on this vacation but the food and cocktails we had tonight at Nor’ East Beer Garden were beyond.

This makes my list of musts on the cocktail program alone. Extremely impressed and finding it impossible to not find a way to go one more time tomorrow.

It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so for the 4th year in a row I'm raising money for @bcrfcure.bsky.social! As a breast cancer survivor, it's a cause that's (literally) close to my heart.

This year for donations over $15 I'm giving the option to redeem a random Steam code til we run out!
