if you can hire someone to bot your account in pillars of eternity

you can probably hire scholars to take up a months-long residency and walk you through the odyssey

huge upsides for the entire planet, imo

Hey all you gamers claiming to "want shorter games made by fewer people who are paid more to work less" here's your chance to put your $15 where your mouth is: a spooky & elegiac exploration game made by ex-Bethesda & Ubi devs. It's excellent. Buy it & prove there's a market for games like this!

Our team at Soft Rains launched our first original IP, Ambrosia Sky! I’m so proud of what we built together. It’s small, weird, and full of heart. Out now on Steam! If you get the chance to play, we’d love it if you left a review to help more players discover our little game.
Ambrosia Sky: Act One is available now!

Your homecoming is not what you expected. An alien fungus has claimed your past and your present. Fight back with every tool at your disposal before it takes your future.

Maeve is waiting.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

At the risk of sounding like a scold for posting about this too much: your call to a senator right now could be a key factor at a crucial moment. Please read this thread & call if you haven't.
Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

I used to bulk delete most of my tweets, sparing posts that did well or that I'd like to reference. this helped me do tidying on bsky, worked great! cleared 85% of my posts (with delays for API limit to reset 😅)

many things worth saying aren't worth saving indefinitely in a public searchable format
I made a Bsky content manager site because of Requests and I wanted it. You can:

• import your history
• search w keywords, dates, # of likes, replies ...
• find, delete, or export things individually or in bulk
• download official backup (.CAR)
• some basic stats :)

I CANNOT RETRIEVE YOUR DATA
Skymarshal - Bluesky Content Manager
Search, filter, and manage your Bluesky posts, replies, likes, and reposts. Delete unwanted content in bulk or individually. Export your data as CSV or CAR backups.

it's one of the classic lessons of 90s level design: if a space feels weird, you can probably get away with it if you add a bunch of columns and supports to "justify" it
