One of the biggest differences I've noticed since the move to bluesky is the lack of streamer engagement bait posts. You know the "oMg I lOvE mY lUrKeRs" or "sHoUtOuT sMaLl StReAmErS" bullshit. I was on threads (yes yes I know) and got war flashbacks before I bailed.

I've been obsessed with Hades 2 this past week and even started a new save where I've made a bunch of progress (while skipping dialogue because I didn't want to spoil the story before I got to stream it) but anyway its live time we're back at it with some shenanigans!

It is ok to take breaks to play other games. There are so many games to play that are incredible. Games not just from this year, but from the entire history of gaming. You're limiting yourself and your potential joy if you only play one game forever.

Was having this discussion with a friend, but a lot of all-white friend groups don’t actively seek inclusivity due to convenience. They don’t have to. They may be truly kind allies, but beyond surface level intersectionality (when coached), it goes no deeper. Oftentimes not malicious, but alienating

October is around the corner, so it's time for the friendly annual reminders:

• Don't do #inktober, spend your creative time doing literally anything else and go at your own pace.
• Jake Park is an asshole and you don't need his stupid branding to jumpstart you into drawing and posting about it.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history
pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast
about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed
psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The
"known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis
White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.
So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale
Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television
and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing
wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked
whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether
his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but
he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from
his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this
interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think
that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself."

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from
the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into
ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten
a new job at a higher salary.
Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further.
It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity
agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that,
but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person
who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the
statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had
a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the
U.S.

Caption ninja and Googlemeet are the 2 best options out there imo. The only thing is google will pick up the username on the account so if you don't want that name up there, you can either temporarily change the name on the account or make a throwaway email. Vdo ninja also works but is less reliable
