"Will you follow me on Twitch?"
Listen, all I'm saying is don't ask, don't get. @robbotron.bsky.social was an absolute sweetheart and great fun.
Honestly 🫸🫷 to the person after me for making that moment even funnier.

A few conversations at #AdventureX reminded me its been 6 years since I ran #pointandclickmas back over on Twitter before *gestures vaguely*. We partnered to give away dozens of games across 24 days of advent from indie developers.
Should I bring it back this year? I'm thinking probably 12 days..

At some point, I'll talk a little bit about the musical instruments I'm using for this soundtrack. Hopefully this brand new key art from @estirdalin.bsky.social will give you a couple of ideas, though!

Should give you a much better idea of what the game's all about. Until now, we'd been super vague.

Hey Bluesky, I need some help - hook me up!
Basically I want to add an animated trigger of Mae to my stream, but, I want to include the username code on the text of the person who triggered the redeem. This seems like it would need custom coding.
Is this possible? Know a guy? Reposts appreciated!
