Y'all anyone around in London either 2nd, 3rd or 11th April to do some workshops with kids about getting into games? The workshop is pre-made , so you wouldn't need to do much prep!

Balatro, a short story in haiku:

Jimbo bites the peel,
Bright light dances on ripe fruit—

@samreich.bsky.social only follows one account on bluesky, and it's not anyone from the Dropout gang, and I'm convinced this is part of an elaborate Game Changers plot.

Are you an indie game dev or studio who needs help with:
- Publisher pitching or self-publishing
- Marketing
- Production
- Feedback
- Crowdfunding
- ... and more?
I may be your gal! I have over eight years experience in production and publishing for PC and console.

A screenshot of two testimonials from game developers. The first from insertdisc5 reads, “Dora has been an INCREDIBLE producer for In Stars and Time!!! Always organized and strategic, always helpful, always a pleasure to talk to. I could not have asked for a better producer, and In Stars and Time wouldn’t have had the same success without her!!!” The second from John Cooney reads, “I’ve worked with Dora over the past 4 years while CEO at our company. She has been promoted several times during our tenure together, operating a successful business paired with compassionate executive leadership. Her grasp of communication, people management, and handling of both crisis/calm are among her finest capabilities. She has an uncanny ability to see the best in those around her and make them better. She is the leader you want on your team and among the best people you could ever work with.” A screenshot of testimonials from two game developers. The first from Gummy Cat reads, “Dora is one of the kindest, coolest, most organized and thoughtful producers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I genuinely believe that without her fighting for us from the very first email pitch, Bear and Breakfast would not have existed.” The second from Sean McKenzie reads (cut short), “I spent 7 years working with Dora at Armor and her dedication to supporting developers (and people, in general) is unmatched. She’s the kind of co-worker that comes to you with problems AND solutions. She cares deeply about everyone, speaking up for those underserved, fighting for inclusivity, and making sure everyone has a voice. She’s organized, thoughtful, and a strong communicator. She’s always striving to learn and improve and never misses an opportunity to pay things forward. The care and dedication she brings to a team is something that can’t be taught. I miss working with her every day."

Got a random call from o2 offering me a better plan, but they hung up when I mentioned I'm not interested in Disney+ as a freebie cause Disney is complicit in supporting the genocide in Palestine

Pro tip if you get telemarketing calls, just flip the script on them.
