Just hopped off a call chatting with Nightdive and GOG about our upcoming GDC talk, and I spent most of it internally going "Holy shit I'm in a call with GOG and Nightdive"

This was also the first stream/video episode I produced like via OBS/Premiere, instead of Riverside, so it's got a few rough edges as I learned while we recorded, but I'm reasonably happy with it as a first try, and I've got a TON of improvements I'm working on for the next episode.
It's FunFactor Fuuuuuuuuesday!
In this episode of @funfactorpod.com, @tyschalter.com and I look at the canceled Warcraft Adventures game, lament "imperial advisors," and then dive into PC Gamer 37's review of Magic: The Gathering.

If you haven't added the "For You" tab in place of your "Discover" feed I HIGHLY recommend you do so.
This has made my Bluesky experience so much better, I see posts I would have missed, and seems to have made it way better for others as well.

QUICK PSA:
If you want a "Discover" Feed that ACTUALLY WORKS.
This "For You" Feed is GREAT. It finds others who liked the same posts as you and filters in more posts they've also liked. I've tried it and so far so good!
Pin it in place of "Discover" and try it! 💫
