I loved working on this game so much with @thetinminions.bsky.social and @ryannorth.ca

One of the best experiences of my career, the project was a joy to work on from start to finish. We made a dumb meter that ranks how close you followed the actual Hamlet!

It’s on Steam and Switch! Please play it

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Narrative design is seen as "expendable" because it's not "top-level game design", says BAFTA Breakthrough participant Cara Ellison. But narrative is "the thing that actually keeps people picking the controller back up."

When I was in high school we were discussing how much better 2% choco milk is compared to 1%, and my friend said that if I ever tried 4%, it'd change my life. Well, now I'm in my 40s and I finally saw 3.8% chocolate milk for sale at a local country market and I gotta say... she was RIGHT. It's good

This is my fault! I trusted the Malwarebytes article and saw how it broke my own email. I've deleted my original post so it can't spread anymore and posted this correction. I regret the error!
since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.

I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

Popversation is an interview w/ @ashleyvrobinson.bsky.social If there’s 1 thing fans agree on Star Trek Lower Decks is one of the finest shows. The animated comedy stars the crew of the USS Cerritos & completed a five-season run. Show creator @mikemcmahan.bsky.social remembers.

I can't say I expect to sell many tickets on my tiny Bluesky, but I'll dream anyway. I really want this to work and I truly think anyone who attended would have an amazing time.

It's called Generator. Coming to Massey Hall on the 27th.

Please tell your people.
