All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a freshly-fallen snow, a crackling fire, a riveting mystery novel, a kettle on the stove, and a healthy supply of emotional support scones.

Being Followed by randoms is... a thing. Like, sure I'm a writer (not that I've touched my blog in ages) but it is more than a little odd considering I haven't posted anything here yet (outside of reposts, and this, I guess). You lot looking for a follow-back? What's the Blue Sky etiquette here?

I don't understand when people get upset that someone has never played a specific game before. That just means they get to experience it for the FIRST time and I am insanely jealous of them.

So I haven't met my survival quota on art commissions for October, but at the same time I have not felt great advertising with the stuff in the pipeline taking longer than expected + with technical difficulties.
I can't afford to delay anymore. The next batch might take a while, but I am open 🥹

Last week, a new indie game called Hawthorn went viral with its cozy, "Skyrim meets Stardew Valley" pitch. Behind the scenes is a tragic backstory — and a development team that is still searching for a way to get paid. This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

I've been on bluesky for a year and a half, and I had been on twitter since 2008 before I quit last November. So speaking as someone who is pretty experienced with both I am much happier here. The moderation tools and general vibe here tend to discourage gratuitous drama and trolling.
