Every day this account gets more obsolete and I am thankful for it. The rest of you, go check this out: bsky.app/profile/trez...

The real secret to the "Mediterranean diet" is eating equal qualities of pasta and antipasto so that they annihilate one another

Everyone welcome the following game designer extraordinaires to Bluesky: @thegamechief.bsky.social @raphkoster.bsky.social and @nfalstein.bsky.social

I believe I'm caught up on all follow requests. THAT SAID, @trezy.codes wanted me to let people know about this link, which looks to be an automated gamedev feed. I'll let Trezy explain how it works. bsky.app/profile/ozon...

All follow requests have been granted. That said, is anyone building a game dev starter pack that will obviate this account?

(Thread) Greetings and salutations! It's been a while since we had people signing up in big numbers on Blue Sky so I stopped checking this account. My mistake - we had a HUGE number of new users in the last week, probably due to Elmo being Elmo again on the hellsite.

I believe that all pending join requests have been fulfilled. If you have not been added and think you should be, ponder upon what you have done and whether or not you have been appropriately reverent to my awesome status and power. Or just shoot me an '@', I probably just missed it.

Believe I'm all caught up on invite requests. If you think I should be following you and I'm not, you'll need to send up a(nother) signal flare.

Wow, what a busy day! I'll probably be offline and might not add anyone else until the morning. That said, I think I'm all caught up. So if I'm not following you and you think I should be, send me a signal flare. This is an imperfect system and sometimes people fall through the cracks.

Now that BlueSky is kicking open the doors to the world, you might want to remind your followers I exist to help the game dev community find itself. I am an account that simply follows other game devs. Search my follows for accts you might be interested in. And @ me if you want me to follow you.

I believe I am up to date on all follow requests. If you're a game dev and you want me following you, send up a signal flare!

I've been a little lax checking this account the last couple of weeks - Christmas and all - but I think I've caught up with all incoming follow requests. If you think that I should be following you and I didn't respond to a previous request, please send up another signal flare (which means @ me).

if your homies take u to a bar that promises "libations + concoctions" u are about to pay $25 for the worst fucking old fashioned you've had in your life

MILESTONE ALERT: After this weekend's burst of invitations, we have crossed the 1200 followers threshold! Huzzah! I believe I am caught up on requests. If I am not following you but you think I should be, send up a signal flare. This is a great time to look over my list for interesting peeps!

Sorry there was a little backlog there. I had to leave town for a work event. I believe that I am caught up on all pending invites now, so if I missed you, send up a new signal flare.

MILESTONE UPDATE: We appear to have surpassed 1.1K members! This might be a good time to go through my followers list and see if there's anyone new you want to follow. It's in chronological order, so the new people should sort to the top!

This person gets it.

FYI, I don't check unfollows or refollows - it's just a terrible UI. If you want me to follow you and add me to the list, simply post a message asking me to do so by handle (I.e. say something like "add me to the list, oh wonderful and glorious @gamedevlist.bsky.social ")

MILESTONE UPDATE: We have just surpassed 1000 game developers and other related ilk on gamedevlist. Now might be a good time to go through my 'Following' list to see if there's anyone you should follow.

Believe I am caught up on all outstanding follow requests. Send up another signal flare if I missed you.

Greetings and salutations. I believe I am caught up on add requests so if I missed you, send a shout out to me.

HAPPY FRIDAY! We just blew past 900 game devs on gamedevlist! It might be a great time to click on my 'following' link and see if you're interested in following anyone who has joined recently. New entries will be sorted to the top! Next stop, the big 1K!

There are no DMs here so just send out a public flare @ me and make it clear that you want added to the lsit.

Back from holiday and believe caught up on outstanding list join requests.

FYI: I will be out of town for a couple of days, so new requests will likely not be added to the list until Tuesday at best.

MILESTONE UPDATE: We just surpassed 800 people on GameDevList! Huzzah! I believe I am caught up on requests. If I haven't added you to the list then you should ask again!

Boy I love seeing bad things happen to terrible people, it's just such a treat

Just as an FYI, and in no way meaning to pick on this fine developer, but the process of weeding through requests is not perfect and sometimes people slip through. Also, I tend to only check about twice a day, so if it hasn't been long, be patient and if it's been 24 hours+, bug me again! Thanks!

We're up to 750 accounts on the list. 1) Click my followers feed to see the list. 2) Be sure your bio is up to date. Also, everyone should follow @trezy.codes who has been shepherding improving tools, feeds, ant other things to help the community take off. We're doing what we can!

OUR RANKS SWELL: What's up #GameDev. Just two days after crossing the threshold of 600 users, we have reached 700 users. Take the time to go through my followers list and see if there are new people you should follow, more recent invitees should be sorted to the top.

Can't wait to trust my life savings and 401K to a website that's constantly in imminent threat for being shut down as a child porn hub.

FYI I think I'm caught up with join requests, so if I haven't followed you, then assume that your request got lost in the chum.

Yes its true that venmo, paypal, eTrade, eBay and the Wells Fargo app all exist, but - and hear me out - what if they all existed in a single app where also nazis and transphobes yell at you all day.

GameDevList has grown about 30% in that time. https://bsky.app/profile/why.bsky.team/post/3k3ffsa647e2m

MILESTONE ALERT: Just 2 days after hitting 500 people, we've now hit 600 self-proclaimed game-dev-adjacent people on my list! Take some time to go through my followers and see if you've missed anyone you want to follow. New entries should sort right to the top!

Howdy gang. People keep asking if QA, composers, producers, game media or esports people are welcome on the list. Of course. I do very little actual gatekeeping for the list - I'm most likely going to return your request, and only kick you off if you're disruptive or a spammer. 1/2

MILESTONE ALERT: With the weekend update, we have now crossed over the 500 user threshold - less than a week after crossing over 400! 1/2

Just pushed a big update to both of my Game Dev feeds, What's Hot and New + Rising! The goal of the update is to make both feeds more lively, and below I'll include a brief changelist of how I went about doing that. If you haven't tried either out yet, today's a great time! #GameDev #FeedUpdate

Just a reminder, me adding you to the list of Game Devs (this accounts followers) won't make your feed richer innately. You still need to do the work of going through my followers and deciding who you want to follow.

MILESTONE UPDATE: With today's additions, we are now at 400 game devs! If you want to add more smiling faces to your follow list, click on my 'Following' tab and follow some people. It's sorted in chronological order, so new people to consider should be sorted to the top! GameDev #GameDev

Greetings and salutations. I am an account that acts as a list of game devs. 1) If you can retweet this for more visibility for new bluesky gamedev, that'd be great. 2) If you think you should be on the list, '@'. 3) If you already did and I didn't, I missed it, so'@' me again. #GameDev

1 Week Ago: "Threads is so safe and sanitized." Now: "Threads is suddenly a lot more interesting to me."

Just as a note, I believe I have added all incoming requests to be added. If somehow you've been missed, be loud about it, this process is not perfect (but way, way better than the janky way I was doing it before). Everyone follow each other and let's make a cluster appear on the graph.

Just a reminder that I maintain @gamedevlist.bsky.social which is an account I'm using as a community center for game devs. Should you want to be on the list, shoot that account an @. If you want to follow more game designers, well, new entries sort to the top. GameDev #GameDev

Not trying to actively call out this well-meaning person here, but if future people want to present lists of people to add like below, it's helpful to put the '@' sign before the tags. I am very lazy, so making maintaining this list easy helps!

Greetings and salutations. I am a custom account that simply acts as a container for game dev Bluesky accounts. Please click my 'following' list for a handy, easy-to-follow list of game devs. Game Dev GameDev #GameDev
