alright Flash nerds hit us up!!!

A Bluesky search with the words "Silent Hill f". It shows my post which doesn't have "Silent Hill f" in the main text, but does include it in the alt text. Basically this means that any alt-text is also used in searches

Another reason to add alt-text to your posts:-

It's used by Bluesky's search system, in addition to the main text of your post.

respect to Square Enix - real for this new policy protecting their people from harassment. Why aren't the rest of you doing this? You can. Here is an example.

Very few video game experiences are this satisfying. Genuinely.

This is an incredible list! Thank you for putting it together!

Reminder to new folks to go to your settings and make sure you have replies turned on and whatever content filters you want switched on or off, the default is to not show you replies with less than two likes and hide all the dicks

one last meta post:

the lack of algorithm means, for good or bad, you aren't going to have content shoved in your face from accounts you don't know

so if things seem quiet, seek out some active accounts to follow! branch out! the content you see is on you - make sure there's enough of it

A document titled “Tips for moving from Xitter to Bluesky,” with 8 tips for making the most of Bluesky if you are arriving here from Twitter

Reupping for any newskies that may come along, welcome! (Not my creation, but some good tips here)

Everyone: block early, block often, use and add to blocklists, and report things that merit reporting.

Starve out bad actors. Kick out every TOS violation.

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.

We're making a game where you play a courier rider in 13th century Mongolia

No combat, just you, the horse(s) you've tamed, bred and trained and the vast wilderness.

Would you play this?

The best way to make Bluesky our new home is stop meta-posting about it vs other places and just get right into it.

Aight since this platform is relatively sane lets do this - Do you have a question about game marketing? Is there something about the games industry you're unsure of?

Lets answer YOUR questions about the video game business!

Ask me anything!

I cannot emphasize how much early playtests will benefit your project. Not six months in, six weeks in. Before your vertical slice. Even if you would dismiss the feedback, it'll still have forced you to develop your early features horizontally, & it'll force you to really think about communication.

follows start comin & they don't stop comin
they were fed to AI & hit the ground runnin
didn't make sense just to post for musk
your brain gets mushed & your head's a husk
so much to do so much to cry
so what's wrong w/ posting on bluesky?
never roll if you don't rock
never shine if you don't block
