My family is so damn creative with their birthday gifts. #1 - a 3D printed & hand-painted Gul’dan statue. #2 - an AI-generated art print of my Ford Mustang with my dog, Delta, and my cat, Saturn. #3 - a Dachshund version of Vincent van Gogh’s “Starry Night”.

I think this is a good thing. Microsoft has shown a willingness to properly invest in games properties in a way that Activision hasn't. https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/11/23779039/microsoft-activision-blizzard-ftc-trial-win

Unpopular opinion: Diablo Immortal is actually a good game. *ducks*

Saturday Night Live and Colbert are missing out on some truly epic content this month, because the writer’s strike hasn’t been settled. Imagine all the Titanic submarine and Threads vs. Twitter jokes we’ll never hear!!

Got myself a free iPad today (thanks RBC, lol) and decided to give mobile gaming an honest try. Any suggestions on good games?

So who’s gonna be first to develop the app that lets dorks like me cross-post all our crap to Twitter, Threads, Blue Sky, Hive, Spoutible and Post?

I'm doing the streaming thing now, because why not. https://www.twitch.tv/atlas_north

The One Thing You Need to Know About Threads

I already don’t like the amount of junk posts in my Threads feed. Not a fan.

Mark already knows all my dirty secrets, so I made one of these too.

Also, on the point of the storm - does anyone realize how big a fucking bullet we dodged as a country? It was an EF-4 tornado, with winds topping 275kmph. It carved a perfect path between two communities - a little north, or a little south, and it could've killed hundreds.

I think it'll be a trickle-down effect. From the perspective of using Twitter as a newsroom tool to find the fastest information, it's completely degraded to basically being useless. Last weekend, being a perfect example - the tornado in AB. We knew there was a storm. But we didn't know how bad.

So I finally watched Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves last night. What an excellent movie. Can we have more AAA studio movies that take game / fantasy titles seriously? D&D is fantastic. Uncharted was… OK? The Warcraft movie was.. 👀 - fun to see Stormwind in CGI, I guess?

These are always fun. 10 games to get to know me: World of Warcraft (since Vanilla!) Diablo Guild Wars 2 Pokémon (any of them!) Elder Scrolls series Fallout series Cyberpunk 2077 Warframe (duh) Stellaris Animal Crossing

I was today-years-old when I learned that FedEx stands for 'Federal Express'. 👀

Hello, friends. I've made the long, arduous journey to the new 'cool' app. I talk about daily news, video games, and (usually) what cute thing my dog did today. Here's a pic of him and my best friend being adorable!

Alrighty - my #GameDev introduction - I've been told I need to make one of these! Hi! I'm Brandon - I'm currently onboarding with Digital Extremes, working as a web producer for the company's various digital properties - so, I've got my hands in Warframe, Soulframe and Wayfinder!

Imagine trying to monetize a free web tool that wasn't even originally developed by the company you purchased.

Welcome to the bsky game dev orientation 🧵! Let's get you started with the basics of bsky, finding other game devs, and posting about your games! Btw, this is based on the amazing artist orientation thread from @purlane.ink; make sure to check it out if you’re also in the art side of game dev!

Uh oh. I changed my BlueSky handle and I think I self-nuked my profile.
