Spent the evening reviving my twitch channel. Look, I play a lot of games and sometimes I'm okay with you watching. So. If you're interested it's www.twitch.tv/imogengames and if you want to suggest a game or two you want to see me play please ask below.

My actual fave pokemon is Mr Mime so this is utterly understandable to me.

Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 19h

If you see this quote your faveourite pokemon! (wrong answers only)

I was so lost. People in suits who care way too much about stuff that matters to me not at all.

Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 21h

Every writing “rule” depends on context, I always get mad when people say they hate a certain kind of writing (same with music!)

I want to know the thought processes afterwards? "I killed this person in a pvp zone who obviously knew fuck all about how to defend themselves and now I have a bigger dick!"

Good for you. You're fucking weird and unpleasant. I can't imagine anyone wanting to fuck you.

Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 1d

I totes get why folk like pvp in games (I LOVE FIGHTING FOLKS AND FINDING OUT IF I'M GOOD) but it bemuses me when folk will gang up on a player when they literally get nothing out of it in game. No prestige, no points no nothing. Like. You're an asshole. Great. Enjoy being an asshole I guess.

I saw this at SDCC, but now it’s on YouTube. I can’t get over how perfect the music is. Lestat has just enough Bowie/Hedwig/T.Rex to sound how I always imagined. And not like fucking Korn. Also since the SDCC version they’ve added Lestat’s maker Magnus #TheVampireLestat youtu.be/dr0q5FHUO1E

If you feel like dming me re: what's going on I have curated my feeds so diligently that I think I might have missed this one.

Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 4d

Who's done what now (vaguepost)

Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 4d

THE PROBLEM IS that when I catch up on new podcasts that haven't finished my brain says "you should relisten to old podcasts so you don't contaminate the feed" and that's how I'm starting my new Magnus relisten.

AND ALSO THEY WOULD GET IT TOO. THE BEST MODEL GIVES IT TO EVERYONE.

Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 5d

It's something so worth fighting for. Again and again they prove it works and again and again some fucker says "But Free Money Is Bad" as if they're not all making free money every damn day.

SURPRISE: THAT MEANS I DON'T POST THE POST.

Imogen Cassidy @imogenwrites.bsky.social · 5d

One of the things I love about short form social media is that I start typing out a thought that I have come to and then realise while I'm putting it down that I'm talking from a place of ignorance and stop and then go look shit up.

This is a wild thing though, SOMETIMES I'M NOT RIGHT.

Ireland has always pulled its weight but imagine how much more it's going to do so in the next few years while every other country falls by the wayside.

Mike Sowden @mikeachim.bsky.social · 6d

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Absolute joy today to wax lyrical about podcasts with @fearofemeralds.bsky.social , @adamrichard.com.au , Bart Meehan and A.D Ellicott at #conflux19. Would have liked to do four more hours.
