Intro: I've worked in the gaming industry on the sales/admin side of things for over 20 years. About a year ago, my friends and I started a #GameDev side project for fun, and now that little hobby passion project is turning into an actual awesome game! @homecall.bsky.social kinda proud of us tbh 😅

I don't take a lot of pictures when I go to concerts, but when I do...

🎮 Been #gaming (mostly goofing off) with some friends this week on the new "skate." by Full Circle Studio.

🛹 I'm digging the fun, laid back online platform for #skateboard culture fans to hang out.

🛋️ I may be biased because I've waited 15years for this, but the #earlyaccess really shows potential!

Amazing weekend plans, kinda wish I was sick now too haha 😆

Oddly enough, Dinkum was also among my personal highlights of this Direct 😅 I hadn't heard of it, but I saw that it's been out for a while on Steam with positive reviews. Looks very cool and cozy, and they had me 100% when I saw FULL online multiplayer co-op! Gonna download the demo tonight...

Don't be sorry! The main reason we all use Bsky is because we can create our own experience instead of being a slave to some stupid algorithm. We can't escape the noise and chaos of the digital world, but at least we can build our own little cozy digital neighborhood here on Bsky 💙

And hey, sometimes just a casual walk, a few blocks away from home, can lead to surprise views that would most commonly be seen in a movie by most suburban folks 😅

Sometimes just a casual hike, a short drive away from home, can lead to surprise views that would most commonly be seen in a video game by us city folk 😅

Pfft. That's just a real life copy of an epic video game landscape. Wait... 🤔

Joe de Chantal @nostaljoe.bsky.social · Aug 19

Looks awesome! ✨
I loved Rusty's Retirement by @mistermorrisgames.bsky.social which is another idle desktop cozy game. I've binged that game to completion and 100% achievements, so now I'll have to try and 100% your cozy desktop game next 😅 Thanks!

I'd walk up lighting a cigarette to assist. Then I'd crack a beer and pass it to the raccoon and reach for the illegal fireworks I hid under the tent. Pixelated sunglasses slowly descend upon my face, as I take another drag off the cigarette.

Indeed, and I remember telling myself that it would never change and I would always be happy with that wild lifestyle. It was exhilarating, I don't regret it, but now I'm satisfied. I can rest, chill and enjoy my hobbies 🖤
