Ahhhhh!!!! The jealousy!! Sending you the best for happy travels & happy landings. Maybe we’ll be able to visit before you’re on the move again 🙏

Exciting! Where are you heading, Shane?

SO GOOD!!! If you haven't seen "Beyond Evil" (Korean mystery show) that is one of my favourites of all time. No timey-wimey business, but the casting is Beyond Excellent

Seriously - something I really enjoy when watching shows is getting a little window into another world. @martinpi.bsky.social & I are on ~80% Chinese & Korean TV diet at the mo & some of the items on that Top 100 list should be ASHAMED of themselves when compared to eg: THE AUDITORS or THE WHIRLWIND

Can people not watch TV in languages other than English or what?! This is an insanely US/UK focused list here! Here are some other shows you might like if you have the ability to read a subtitle: BEYOND EVIL MONEY HEIST DARK THE BRIDGE THE KILLING GIRI/HAJI DEUTSCHLAND 83

Yowza - looks like we're launching our game on November 16th! Get your wishlists in now before it's, er, too late?! ❤️

It's a banger!! Mega props for getting it out there 👑❤️

I LOVE teaching my course at @irishwriterscentre.bsky.social SO MUCH, & I always get to meet wonderful people AND get the joy of reading their work. Here's the latest from the class that just finished last night - conjured up from seed of an idea to coded, written, & even published live in class!! ❤️

It doesn’t mean anything about release - we have released games, demo games, and games that have only a Steam page 🙇‍♀️

Hopefully we can run it again next year - keep an eye on the How To Market A Game event calendar as most Steam event applications are posted there 🙇‍♀️

We had a form for folks to apply with their bird games & games that fit the theme were accepted! The form went up in April and was open until August - shared through HTMAG’s event calendar.

Hey! Did you know we have an upcoming Steam event called BIRDS OF PLAY celebrating 140 bird games? October 10th to 16th on good old Steam! No link until it's live, but in the meantime you can find details and assets here: drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Promo image for Birds of Play event containing title, dates October 10th to 16th, and a range of cute birds!

Hopefully we do it again next year! 🙏

That's wonderful, thanks Bernadette!! LMK if you have any questions at all for me as an organiser or for any of the devs!! 💖

Jen.... you KNOW your bird puns have eager eyes over here!

Oooooh that's a good question - I didn't make a category for criminal birds, but maybe I should have!

Excited to jump into the Bird of Play Steam Event! Make sure to check out some of these amazing games and remember support indie devs!! 🖤

121

The games are lovingly sorted into categories by yours truly, like "Be A Bird", "Birdwatching", and "Birds On The Case" (there are a weird amount of bird detective games!). Genuinely there is something for everyone... unless you hate birds, but like, nobody hates birds!!

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's when an academic with a full time university job doing research on art, suggests in a derogatory tone, that a working artist was motivated by profit. "Yeah 'cause it was her JOB dumbass," I always want to say. "You know, the one with no union or 'benefits'?"

Inbox Zero - what a start to a Monday! 🙌

Char @alphachar.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I have to come back to double thank you for this one!! Now instead of 15 starred emails I have zero - I’m only letting myself be concerned with the things I can do in the moment ❤️🙌
