when I was a kid I heard another kid arguing about why he had to do service for others in the gurudwara and his parent was like "if you won't help others what is the point of you" and I've never forgotten that line.

I cannot believe family members are actively trying to get me to promote an anti-vax agenda and support RFK JR of all people.
AND CLAIM THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE POLIO VACCINE???

Like no, I'm not going to do that! Leave me alone! Have some common sense!

This is perhaps, and hear me out, majorly tonedeaf. Just a thought.
My bipartisan legislation to recognize the Bald Eagle as our national bird just passed Congress and is now headed to the President’s desk to be signed into law! 🦅

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

maybe wishful thinking, but i do hope that gamers on bsky will be much more civil than those on twitter/x while the game awards are airing! 😅

let us remember that an award doesn’t define whether a video game is incredible or not. no matter who wins, all games nominated are great in their own way! 🎮

I’m sorry but 262 words is not a manifesto. It’s a statement. Maybe a communique. Not a manifesto.

Gentle reminder for everyone who might need it. Yes, including me. Especially me. How other people treat you is often more about them than about you.

As the one who decided that the worst I’ll say is “I don’t like you”, I know this to be true. What we know and feel isn’t always the same thing.

Oh god we've reached the point where the news is sensationalizing Among Us as a negative influence? Go after literally anyone else playing video games in the pandemic then!!!

I'm always constantly battling the need to balance my research interests and my video game insights here. And honestly, I'm too lazy to separate them into different bluesky accounts and they're both a part of me.

So apologies to both sides of my followers for getting the alternative side!

You know, sometimes I'm one of those people that go "hm, maybe the Game Awards should have a little more balance instead of 90% jury, 10% voting"

and then I look at the Player's Voice being three gacha games, the Elden Ring DLC and Black Myth Wukong....

maybe Geoff has a point actually

Family isn’t always blood, it’s the people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what.
