Hello to the Bluesky community!

We're trundling on in with an announcement; the Steam Autumn Sale starts next Wednesday, November 27th with deals on games of all types - from games that are blue, to games that are about skies, and everything in between.

something tells me a certain newspaper is going to treat this as a non-story. i mean, it’s not like we’re talking about a black lady at harvard or an old president.

Since people have been asking, I've created a "Background Radiation" Games Industry Starter Pack! The goal is a pack that gives you a good horizontal overview of the games industry and its surrounding fields - and the conversations happening there.

Hi. We’re a group of comic book writers & artists who are furious about Project 2025, The Heritage Foundation’s plan to consolidate power under authoritarian rule. So we made a bunch of comics to explain their agenda and move you to vote against it. stopproject2025comic.org
Stop Project 2025 Comic
Trump's Project 2025 is a detailed plan to shut you up, and shut you out. Don’t let it do either. Read on, then vote.

i read recently about how one thing that claims lives in otherwise survivable crisis situations is that people just refuse to believe that what is happening is happening and are cognitively unable to respond to the situation at hand.

the amazing thing is that if you write about this in an honest and level-headed way, you wil still get people telling you that you're overreacting
normally I'm not a "the press is responsible for trump" person, but it is incredibly jarring how little attention his more violent and disturbing comments have been getting in mainstream press coverage

lol at tagging Brick Suit, the man who famously shows up at every Trump rally wearing a suit with a brick print on it, on this one. Brick Suit is going to marshal all the resources at his command, and liaise with Dan Bongino if necessary, to find out why the Trump campaign did something thoughtless.
Definitely put these people in charge of a superpower.
