A co-worker I used to work with suddenly passed away this week. She had a great sense of humor... and just recently became a mom. If you have a few spare dollars for her husband and 5 month old baby to support them, I would be deeply grateful. www.gofundme.com/f/aid-felipe...

Saw this and immediately felt bad for @breeedo.bsky.social ‘s wallet and so so many others on here.

For everonye outside of germany, a superrich family fumbled dodging taxes and now paid the record sum of 4 BILLION euros. Which would cover nationwide child coverage by 166% That is the amount of money countries miss out on due to rich people evading taxes

If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

Reminder that the news and government gave more importance and put more effort into the murder of A corrupt healthcare billionaire Than Two democratic politicians

I've been excited about this game since the trailer two years ago, and the demo last year. Starting tonight! Come check out a wild sci-fi story.

it's really something else, man. i was there, i watched that shit* happen in real time, in those days that felt like decades happened. and then some motherfucker on the internet tries to sell me a different version of the history i lived through *about 20 different events at this point

Bluesky lately

Over twenty years ago, greed and spite warped and broke the future my generation had been promised… all over wars on the other side of the world. Now it’s happening again, and I’m terrified to think this will do for all the generations that now exist after mine.

Me: "Woo, okay, @satisfactoryaf.bsky.social just updated, you took a 5 month pause getting overwhelmed finishing a Satisfactory phase. Now its time to get back, enjoy, super focus, rebuild the factory and be efficient." Also Me: "But there are shiny things on the map somewhere!"

What’s your sign? Wait, I got this one - poor @theadamfactor.bsky.social pulled this fortune cookie while we were playing Netrunner pre pandemic. It’s one of my favorite pictures of me.

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

In 2025, the US is projected to spend nearly 1 trillion on the military. We spend more than the next 20+ countries combined. Yet we have nothing for healthcare, housing, or infrastructure. Or reparations. A budget is a statement of values and ours values war over people. Happy Juneteenth ❤️💚🖤

I have this starter pack of great black TTRPG designers. Give them a follow! If you are a black TTRPG designer who wants to be included on the list, let me know! go.bsky.app/TSmxwUa

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Kid had tie dye day at pre-k and we needed to make shirts. So we all did one. Tried to pay homage to my 80’s/90’s kids roots, with mixed success!

If you are local to New Paltz and the Hudson Valley, check out the Juneteenth Jubilee! There's a commemoration of graves on Huguenot street, performances, historic tours about local history, and some festival events!

I’m just happy that I’m actually playing Warhammer. I know it sounds silly, but after being introduced to it 25 years ago, the idea of having my own painted models always seemed out of reach. Now, I’ve got a small community and we actually get some games in. It’s awesome. #WarhammerCommunity

Well, the game is literally called "The Girl Who Steals Time," so yeah this checks out

Happy #Juneteenth! 🤎🙏🏾✊🏾

So I don't use social media much, and I don't feel like I have to thanks to Bluesky. I check in with the people I follow, get their reads on things, and can log off again. Less Algorithm, less ads, less noise. My mental health has really gotten better since I swapped over here.

I don’t know why you’d be preoccupied with making a website you hate sound mysterious and cool. Yeah we live in the ruins of the tombs of the dead Sultans who ended the Crusades and fought Napoleon Bonaparte. A place you don’t want to go for some reason

This description of neurotypical/neurodivergence made me ugly laugh this morning - much needed.

It's a Day Late, but it's time for the Father's Day Stream with one of the most 'dad game energy' games we could find. Come hang out as we beat "A Game About Digging A Hole" in one session! www.twitch.tv/spritesanddice

Two days left to sign up for BIPOC Vamp Day! I’ll be GMing alongside some other beautiful people—LET’S GOOO.

#NextFest demo thread! I love Next Fest, it's like the superbowl for me. Here's a list of games I enjoyed (or am looking forward to seeing more of!) I try to play and comment on games that I don't see get a lot of buzz, mostly strategy, puzzle, sim, and RPG.

Managed to tie dye some shirts for the family for tie dye day coming up, but had to keep wrangling 4 year old not to stain everything. I have apparently ended up with bisexual lighting hands thanks to this. I’m sure my office job is going to be asking questions tomorrow!

I can't wait to get this game - I was sold by the damned trailer a year ago with having the catchiest jingle.

Welp, got the result: Disc bulged which cause squeezing and pinched the nerve. Gotta be on redress for 4 days. Fuck me to tears is this awful timing. Im gonna boost this with that official answer given my choices are currently "Fuck uo my back further" or "Be homeless".

Out of all the games I saw during the summer game fest, this is in the top ten. I really enjoy how they are trying to blend some education in with some great looking platforming.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

And I'm Live for the PC Gaming Show! Come hang out and look at all the fancy new reveals with the Sprites and Dice Community. www.twitch.tv/spritesanddice

...Did we just get a Sonic x Mario dig during a game reveal show?! What is this, the console wars again!? #SGF

Live watching summer game fest! Come hang out.

So Summer Game Fest is starting in less than three hours... we'll be streaming it for our community to hang out and chat as the reveals happen. What games are people excited for? Is there any one game you REALLY hope gets shown? ...Yes, besides Silksong. #SummerGameFest #SGF

This sounds amazing, and the timing is hilarious. I ran a game last week and one of my players made a mute runner called “Phonk”, who’s signature cyberware were wraparound headphones and could use them like sonar and data collection. #ttrpg people, check out CYB PNK, it’s a great one shot machine.

Saw this last night and it’s just so damn good. This is such a strong and deliberate statement of artistic intent. I cannot wait to play Final Fantasy Tactics again!

Abso-fucking-lutely GOATed.

There, that's better. Have an official co-streamer announce for @wholesomegames.com Direct on Saturday. See you at 11am CT/9am PT for the show over at twitch.tv/cypheroftyr

Today’s another Sinners soundtrack and yardwork sort of day. youtu.be/pTenkJkXRk4?...
