Lyndon "Tadpole" (they)

Being one of the only people in the office who actively opts out of LLM usage (it's not enforced in any way fwiw) is so annoying like you're telling me you failed primary school English??

"I don't know better and so use a LLM to translate" - that's nice but if you want I have a list of more accurate translators if you want

"I speak perfect English but need a LLM to draft a 280 character tweet" - die. I will beat you to death with hammers

Please Please I need help, im only asking for a $1.00 not $100, not $50, not $10, not even $5, just a $1 please! A dollar adds up when multiple ppl can spare it & its better than $0. PLEASE

"engagement is low on Bsky" for the millionth time.

Then engage. SHARE posts. TALK to people. Do literally ANYTHING but "Like and Go".

Bsky is not dead, it's just free of Algorithms and that means YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING if you want engagement!

I’ve been a producer for almost four years ! I had a pretty unconventional path getting to games, and I am lucky to call this my career ❤️

you belong in games too 🫶

Not as good as their NY sale but still might be a good time to pick up if you've been looking at it.

my ipad is now 5 years old and slowing down‼️ making it impossible to draw since it crashes procreate every 5 minutes RIP 😔

We will see our friends again someday, so we will care for this world they left behind. And I know they will be proud of us.

I recently saw Dames 4 Games Spring 2026 Showcase and There is this game that piqued my interest.

Turns out Merry Crisis is a Visual Novel developed by @monsoongames.bsky.social, a Singaporean dev. Plus they released a new demo of the game too

Congratulations to Singapore game studio @13z-game.bsky.social for their game 13Z: The Zodiac Trials for winning the WINGS Award!

Shoutout to cat & dog in the background too!

Honestly same! Wish I could commit to more stuff with you all 🥰

I have (digs in pocket) 5 years' experience in the industry now? My start was with @keywordsstudios.bsky.social and then moved around some local game studios for a spell :3

A selfie of me!! Shows myself against a light pink background. There are black and white sparkles and a white outline around me. I’ve got long black hair with microbangs, sharp black nails, round black-rimmed glasses with cat ears, and I’m wearing a bat choker.

Hullabaloo & howdy-doo! I'm Stacey—SMM + CM @entrylvldev.bsky.social & CM @sealbeegames.bsky.social! 🤓🩷

New year, new look! I'm Lyndon (they) and am a CM and marketer in video games! Currently doing VIP support for a newly minted local SLG

Because he (a) dislikes 5th Ed D&D, (b) projects his singular bad experience to that to everything said 5e touches and (c) also just doesn't...communicate expectations so AL is like the devil to him lmfao. It's so irritating to talk to him and I'm glad I distanced myself

A banner that reads "Game Workers Conference" in white text on a pink and blue background, alongside the ball and threads logo.

Do you work in games? Are you tired of corporate greed taking over our industry? Do you miss when industry events were by workers, for workers?

The United Videogame Workers of CWA, in partnership with other unions and worker-centered organizations, announce the #GameWorkersConference. May 22-23 ❤️‍🔥

It is! It's with portable characters that can freely move across tables in general :) I really like its format in the earlier days of it tbh

So sorry to have to keep sharing this, but we need to be able to make rent this month (which is £800). My partner doesn't hear back until next month about the jobs he's applied and interviewed for unfortunately, so anything helps to make ends meet. Thank you and, again, sorry 💜

More along the lines of Adventurer's League, where you're largely being matched with and play with strangers, and it's just kinda ??? Cuz the person's business model does something similar lol

Also it goes back to how much I obsess over the need to set expectations in any sort of cooperative social gameplay setting because if you don't fucking communicate you won't get the experience you like and then you make a business out of inflicting that on others?? Brother ew

Like ??? sorry you had a bad experience because you didn't communicate expectations so boo fucking hoo being anti-D&D just purely due to it also kinda just makes you an unlikeable bitch to deal with lol grow up

Relatedly if you're hating on public play tabletop because you make hating 5e your entire personality years after the scene of public play has faded I personally think you suck as a person

It's all this doom and gloom and "oh we have no future" which I then ask, why are YOU here then? What are YOU doing to make things happen?

At some point it's going from pragmatic to just stagnation and having no interest in making the place habitable for people to actually join. What the hell are we doing?! What are we doing??

It's been almost a decade of people actively being told to go overseas "for better career prospects" and I'm beginning to suspect we just don't want our own talent in the arts ig, thoughts?

Waking up angry about people actively discouraging new blood from joining the local industry that is dying from a severe brain drain problem like ok so we all hate progress and change then??
