I can understand not liking/being disappointed by the Summer Gamefest Showcase, but anger and vitriol, I just don't get, there are plenty of great games to play now and coming in the future, this showcase doesn't erase that. 💚🦖🥫🏊

We appreciate times are tough, and not everyone will be able to contribute. That's okay, sharing our posts can do just as much good ✨

At £150, Moody Plays Elden Ring. @dafyddmoody.bsky.social wanders into the Land Between for the first time. Amy and I will be there with many hints, e.g. 'don't die'

In these turbulent times in the industry, (and the planet) mental health and wellbeing is paramount ✨

At £100, I'll be playing Alien Isolation!

I don't do well with scary games, so in the name of charity, I'll be doing my best to be brave 😅

While wearing a heart-rate monitor, for science 🙃

🏳️‍⚧️ WHEN WE FIGHT, WE WIN! 🏳️‍⚧️ CHLA reversed its decision to pause initiating hormonal therapy for transgender youth. Gender affirming care is lifesaving care. We must continue to fight back, stay organized, and to demand institutions not give into Trumps fascist executive orders.

@safeinourworld.org's amazing work promotes mental health in the video game industry, for the people who make the game we all love ✨

At £50, we'll be ranking our favourite Mass Effect characters ✨

We've got a new and improved system, so it's an excuse to fawn over Garrus, Liara, Tali again 😍😍😍

As people who love video games, we want to help the people who make these games. It doesn't happen without them and Safe In Our World ensures that they have the tools and resources to look after their mental health.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

KNOW YOUR
RIGHTS
IN CASE OF ICE:
CONOCE TUS DERECHOS
EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR.
ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge.
Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door.
NO ABRAS TU PUERTA.
ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM
TO LEAVE.
If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission.
2
PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN.
Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT.
You have the right to remain silent.
If the agents ask you questions, tell them,
"I wish to remain silent."
PERMANECE EN SILENCIO.
Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio.
Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles:
"Deseo permanecer en silencio".

A reminder as Musk-bots, Trump-bots, and other bots start hitting Bluesky: blocking users removes their replies from your posts entirely.

The correct way of handlin antagonizing parties is to block. Not reply. Not dunk. Not mute. Block. It stops their reach and effectiveness right there.
