Add tags when you post to drive engagement -- if that is what you want.

Photography: I post here more than I read -- but sometimes people post nice pictures there.

dkpol: Danish politics. Occasional good stuff. You need to mute some accounts.

Science: People promote like their phd studies here. Sometimes great content.

Catch up: Lots of US politics. I get stuff here that does not hit the mainstream media in dk/se.

Popular with friends: Fewer posts -- but I catch when someone I don't know/follow posts something that people I follow find interesting.

Following: Sometimes people I follow post great stuff. But often it drowns in people promoting kickstarters or playing meme games. To not drown out my BlueSky following feed, I limit my "Following" to people I would engage in a conversation if I met them on the street.

Feeds that work for me on BlueSky:

I for one love that we artists now have to, at any given time, be able to show proof that we’re human and disclose our exact process and even provide layered original files in this tribunal of the arts. Makes me really appreciate what AI is doing for our industry.

Dread and the Jenga tower

It takes a lot of dedicated effort to get one game from good to great. It's ok to have a backlog of good games you revisit now and then. But to get any one of them to truly shine, keep that one game on the top of the todo list, also when you get to the boring tasks.

Iterate. Then iterate some more. Then after many iterations, stop. The last part is the hard part.

Just because someone made a game about X in 1985 doesn't mean you can't make a game about X.

Work on one game at a time, but don't work on the same game all the time.

I'm thinking I would do it for free :)

How do I get the job as the person who paints red dots on all the trees? A very lovely morning today in the forest.

Agreed!

Living with a person that grew up in another culture helps you see all your blind spots where you just assume things about things! Slow down, take a deep breath and be humble about what you didn't knew that you don't know.

I'm hosting Mars to Stay at LinCon in a month and decided to pep up the components a bit. The characters get the option to build a launcher that will take them from the surface to orbit to catch a ride back to Earth.
