Hey y’all! Looking for more people to do Side Quests for @funandgamespod.bsky.social! How it works is each ep a different host talks about a game they love & why they love it for approx. 5 to 20 min. If you’re interested in doing an ep please reply below or email us at [email protected]!

TBD for streams this week / next. Still trying to figure out new work schedule!

We're so excited to listen to this one!

Still thinking of this week's Date Everything episode?? SO ARE WE. We're so excited to welcome Alle to the show! Alle (she/her) is not on many social media platforms and low-key dislikes the internet, but she enjoys playing games with friends regardless of the medium.

I know I keep bringing up the Hays code in regards to what is going on regarding censorship But literally everything being cracked down on was explicitly censored in the 1930s Non-con/dub-con is the current target, but anything outside of the "institution of marriage and the home" was a target 🧵

A new strat actually is if you cancel some corporate streaming account purely on a “I no longer wanna support” reason and have the extra cash? Support public or independent media with those dollars

hahahahahahahaha what. WHAT. w h a t

@claireafterall.bsky.social is most excited to use Date With Us as a way to learn audio editing and celebrate the wide scope of human (and monster and who knows who elses’) emotion. Find her as @ClaireAfterAll all over the internet!

Another meet your host?! Claire (she/any) is a variety, charity, and coworking/idle game streamer. She’s a producer and lover of fanfiction, dating sims, and all things ttrpg. Claire has spoken on panels at GameholeCon, PaxEast, and GenCon. She is also a Capricorn.

Taking the next two weeks off streaming and then it’ll already basically be Claire After Fall time!!!

Kanisha Williams (she/they) is a writer, arts admin, newbie coder, and lifelong master-of-none. When she’s not picking her new hobby of the week, she loves reading, watching movies, and trying new foods. She’s a Gemini and shares a birthday with Prince (RIP). @dreamnormie.bsky.social

Am I feeling hella inspired and motivated today or is it just that fourth cup of coffee? 🤔

If you wanna hear @claireafterall.bsky.social gush more about the game she also covered it for my pod! funandgames.libsyn.com/side-quests-...

Big praise to my pals who have been stepping back / staying home at the inkling of illness rather than pressing on and those masking wherever they go. I see you, I appreciate you, I'm getting my next jab on Saturday. 💪

brb screaming 😍 we may be biased, but shout out to our personal fave performance! 😘

Remember. You can always just put it in the group chat.😬

Two Democratic legislators were shot, along with their spouses. Even their dog was shot. One had to dive on top of their child to protect them. Trump didn’t attend the funeral. There was no widespread condemnation of political violence. The culture must change and gun control is long overdue

Love to get to listen to two people I adore talk about a game I adore. This pod ep is fantastic. Go listen!

Date Your Weapons along with us as we discuss one of our FAVORITE DATING SIMS OF ALL TIME Boyfriend Dungeon by @kitfoxgames.com! Listen now wherever your pods are cast. What sort of weapon-person would you be? Who were you romancing/wielding? Are you as Seven-pilled as we are??

If you want to make a smaller zine (< 1/2-sheet page size) but w/more page space than a minizine (1/8 sheet)—or just dislike not being able to get the minizine creases all perfect—1/4 size zines are another option. (HT @alienmelon.bsky.social wonderful Electric Zine Maker tool I learned this from!)

BIG week of coworking with the tolerance break ending, inspiration stream on Friday!

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

I want to push back against the sentiment that we live in terrible political times and we must exist as if we don't. Let me hold your hand gently when I say this: You don't have to keep it moving like the world isn't burning. You can meet the moment *and* do daily life. Let's talk about how. 🧵

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Wired is one of the only outlets to get the headline right. www.wired.com/story/depart...

Having time to do my job is a huge dream of mine 🥹

It costs approximately $0 not to yuck someone’s yum if it has nothing to do with you and isn’t hurting anyone

The Games For Palestine charity bundle is extremely cheap for all the games that you're getting, and for one of the most important causes of our time. Just supported myself!

Companies who try to make you feel bad for them doing illegal things are… not good actually? Regardless of how seemingly nice or well meaning the people doing the things are.

Happy Silksong Day to those celebrating!!! I hope you get to slack or take off work and be your best gamer self today 🖤

I'm digitizing VHS tapes for my mom, but I did not anticipate the amount of times I would turn around on instinct to the sound of my mom going "Claire..." only to remember it is literally just a video

Being an EGG FREAK is the best part of my day

A reminder that we’re all going through it. It’s ok to take time for yourself. Be kind to yourself. You deserve it.

We're working on our next big project! When we reach 300 followers here on bluesky, we'll post a preview of what Broken Door's next TTRPG publishing project will be. Can you help us hit that goal?

LIVE for the next... oh idk probably like 6-7 hours doing coworking and exploring the Maltese's Fluffy Onsen idle game during breaks -- come hang out??

Congratulations to @dhowl37.bsky.social and @nyxnyghtingale.bsky.social who won our @spiritcitylofi.bsky.social giveaways to celebrate their launch of the #AllAboard DLC! Thank you Mooncube Games for the keys and to everyone for the support as we pursue spiritography during our coworking streams! 🖤

AHHHHH Seven knows my friend exists and loves her amazing brain *faints*

Incredibly kind words from an incredibly talented human who I am being Very Normal about listening to me gush 🤣🫠💀🖤

TWO massive coworking marathons 7AM - 3PM tomorrow and Wed! We'll be giving away a spirit city key during the stream tomorrow (likely between 10AM - 11AM wherever a break falls). I've got a few meetings so there may be moments of no cam, but we'll have spirit city up and LOCK IN!! See you there???

Folks! I got to chat with the incredible @claireafterall.bsky.social about Boyfriend Dungeon, a game that pushed boundaries for me personally. Support her new podcast! @datewithuspodcast.bsky.social and listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/4DlV...

WHAT A DELIGHT to talk with Jake about this game that’s so close to my heart. 🖤 I feel so lucky to be so welcomed into the games podcasting space and to get to turn the questions around on the host to find out more about his love interests in the game!! 👀🖤✨

There's a light on in Chicago and I know I should be home

This summer brought us a huge number of games that we've been anticipating for many months, in some cases YEARS. They're finally here and we got to talk about them in this month's Indie Game Roundup!! Listen below or wherever you get your podcasts ⬇️

Just a little PSA that Covid is still real, active, and anecdotally appears to be knocking people down hardcore. Get the vax and please PLEASE wear a mask. 🙏🏼

The fact that we basically could live in a post-scarcity world and there are some people who don’t think everyone deserves to have a cozy bed they can delay getting up from to writhe in comfort and dozing is a travesty and failure of humanity.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

get friends who know you ✨🧟 MISS YOU @peachycatxo.bsky.social

I have heard the outcry from chat and I am here to inform you I am noodling on a "Fundraiser to get Claire Zumba Teaching Certified" stream idea... feel free to pitch incentives or things you'd want to see!
