Haha! I just had my first couple of unfollowers playing the numbers game.
You mean I actually post stuff about games and nothing else?! Yep. Promoting games is the name of the game. Ahem.
Follow only if you're going to stick around, not if it's to boost your numbers, silly sausages.

Opinion piece: I don't think Bluesky is the utopia that people think it is. People are people, and they'll be an influx of all sorts that disagree with you no matter where you go.
That said, I think this platform is swell, easy to use, and because YOU are currently reading it, the best.

Hi new followers!
Here's the game I'm working on right now when I'm not working at Crytek. It has a super unique country-based difficulty system and shows something you have never seen before.
If you can, help me spread the word about it on Bluesky!
You can Wishlist it here: s.team/a/2580020
