A bunch of white people gather for a dinner and talk about their political connections, then one dies and they make the house staff do all the work figuring it out

What grinding 0.2 seconds off an 3-hour precision platformer speedrun taught me about B2B sales

Well I know several people who are going to be invested in this

Came off the bench to help welcome our newest SMWCentral Hall of Famers - www.smwcentral.net?p=hall_of_fame - and added a couple write-ups of my own. SMWC will always be home, and these games will always mean something to me.

A massive thank you to @gretaicevixen.bsky.social for being an incredible GC Lead, @sgtmug.com and @naomiiiplays.bsky.social for helping hold things together, and to the Flame26 Games Committee for going through a ton of amazing submissions and putting this schedule together. This is gonna be fun :)

It's been an absolute steamroller of a Pride Month for me, both internal and external. But tonight, I caught myself in the mirror, and really didn't have to think twice about who was looking back. and goddamn if that's not worth celebrating. Happy Pride Everything, loves.

this is what happens when you (checks notes) lay off all the editors when you have a crisis of not enough editors. I blame news management and have one person in particular in mind and her name is not Nina.

Closing in on the end of Juneteenth Weekend at @gamesdonequick.com, and I wanted to draft out some observations I’ve made witnessing the joy throughout. (Also a quick mention that I was given the opportunity alongside fellow @ryyudo.bsky.social to take interviews! Real fun to conduct, as always!)

I saw the new Jonathan Blow game and thought "Ugh, I really hope I don't have to like this." Then I saw it uses genAI voices in the demo and was so very relieved I could just immediately move on.

John Williams is 94 years old and just dropped the Disclosure Day soundtrack on us. Legend. Looking forward to high school bands biting off so much more than they can chew in the next few years.

Happy Pride from GDQueer and Byte! We're working on another GDQueer later this year, but it won't be a charity event this time around. One of the biggest pieces of feedback we got was the desire for a community and discord server so we're focusing on that first. Keep an eye on this space for more.

Yeah this game has the sauce

I saw some people saying horror doesn't really fit Star Trek vibes, but no, it's perfect for it. The Borg, the Gorn, the large list of fascist regimes that love torture My problem is they're taking a freedom fighter fighting fascism and giving that to BLOOBER TEAM, who writes the worst themes ever.

New Virtua Fighters game has me feeling almost like I want to actually get a current gen setup

Super Mario Land 2 is the second best Mario game ever made behind SMW.

This very well could just be me, but *fascinating* how I've yet to see a single listing for Pride in bsky's trending topics this month.

Per @carrarium.bsky.social, also sharing my best 82-0.com team so far. I would so very much love for this team to absolutely break teams over their knees and then let them know about it on the way off the floor.

The struggles to be seen, respected, and to feel safe and supported have been within myself as much as with others. Grateful for amazing friends for places and spaces that embrace me as I am: a transfemme demiaro who has more to learn but has come so far already. Happy Pride, loves.

Happy Pride, we got a new copypasta

Happy Pride to all of my queer friends who are just so tired.

Hi friends. Pride starts today and in case you weren't aware. Shit sucks right now, especially for visibly lgbtq+ people. If you consider yourself an ally please consider skipping the rainbow posting and message your representatives that you want them to stand up for our rights.
