the best way we can grow Bluesky is by telling someone you know and then they tell someone they know. I've sent invites to Ian Miles Cheong and Keemstar and told them to tell their friends. we can do this together butterflies!

opening day of the VCT 2026 season. Riot put a lot of money into marketing the debut of VCT+LCS this year, Valorant esports viewership could use all the help it can get right now, all the devs use this website, and they still don't think it's worth posting on here

I have followed every game dev on Bluesky. If you are currently running or planning to release a AAA live service game I will not demand you keep the woke out. I may however have 21 eggplants sent to your office (see: Jeff Kaplan happy at Blizzard) to address the highly important concerns of gamers

neat update i guess but it's pretty funny for Bluesky to do this when 95% of all streamers still don't post on here or even have an account including Twitch itself bsky.app/profile/bsky...

i've been using Twitter most of my career to politely tell game developers why gamers don't like their games and with everyone leaving the plan was to continue that here. however it turns out all the AAA devs now exclusively post on LinkedIn so I must commit to a new era: professional cyberbullying

a timeline of FaZe Clan owners over the years: run by a guy who slept with a 17 yr old and a guy who broke the world record for adderall consumption gave control to an insane Norweigan scammer who put in charge a guy making IDF sponsored TikToks for gamers then sold it to the founder of DraftKings

Valve has historically had the fewest major leaks of any big technology/games company I can think of by virtue of having no social media team, no PR, and famously a singular communications person that is harder to get a response from than your great grandpa via ouija board

on Bluesky there's a contingent of people 'boycotting' ARC Raiders while it has 400,000 concurrent players for having AI and on Twitter there's an international crisis because EuroGamer gave it a 4. as an arbiter of gamers and games media I am proud to say that everyone is wrong job well done

New YouTube policy announced cracking down on online gambling and skin gambling, but it's also targeting 'graphic violence' in video games and will begin age restricting videos of "mass violence against non-combatants". So every GTA6 release day video

Currently working on a piece regarding just how much the Saudis have paid publishers, developers, pro gamers and streamers. here's a little nugget:
one top Twitch streamer made more $ in two hours of 'work' than a years worth of Chorus dark money influencer funds for all its creators combined

Just to make everyone feel worse about everything there's a world where Amazon sells Twitch to the Saudis which is a rumor thats already gone around and Microsoft eventually dumps gaming in favor of chasing AI, also leading to being sold to the kingdom. So think of it like these are the good times
