Hello new Bluesky followers. This is what I do

I went Christmas carolling in Rust with a real piano - and got shot a hell of a lot

Last thing I expected from AI was to make wattpad omegaverse fanfiction mainstream

Terrible things are popping up in my YouTube suggestions nowadays

AI-generated video with a thumbnail showing a girl with chains around her, and a knight approaching her. The title says "No One Wanted the Rejected Omega Girl at the Auction"

Yeah I think the difference now is having it beamed onto every social feed I have, feels harder to avoid than ever

Me: I don't care much for Taylor Swift, that's fine I'll just ignore the album release

The next day:
>Waking up to someone playing all of TLOAS outside my window
>Every social media feed covered in Swift news
>YouTube trying to make me watch each video release
>Every marketing brand hopping on it

Actually Romantic is such a sad response to Charli's song talking about her own insecurities around Swift and how the industry pits women against each other. Way to prove the point

Emma Kent @goneefk.bsky.social · 9d

Taylor Swift you better stay away from Charli XCX now

Being ill while living alone is the worst. What do you mean I have to do the groceries while feeling like I’ve been flash-banged

Hold up, imagine going down the elevator to Siofra river?? That would be unreal

Emma Kent @goneefk.bsky.social · 16d

Doing Radahn's boss battle would be particularly hilarious though

Some day, I'm going to invest in a VR headset and use it to walk around Elden Ring, just to look at stuff

Nothing worse than listening to a banger Grimes song then remembering it’s probably about Elon Musk 😩

Two games industry hubs with predictable border policies - the dream.

Downside is they're both still expensive but I guess you can't win em all.

Real talk though they should move GDC to Vancouver or Toronto

Emma Kent @goneefk.bsky.social · 20d

Yeah that would make sense, the re-brand to 'festival' makes it seem less industry focused

Emma Kent @goneefk.bsky.social · 20d

It's just the lack of follow-up information that's confusing me most

Emma Kent @goneefk.bsky.social · 20d

My assumptions were that it would either be going digital or moving to a new location. It appears to be neither

The way this video is so cryptic is winding me up, it ain't that deep just tell us what the changes are
