Again, discernment is *everything* when it comes to getting useful work out of a chatbot. If you don't know anything about my work and you ask a chatbot to explain it to you, you will likely be badly misled. 42/

There has been some debate over whether bluesky is good for game promotion or whether actual consumers are here. As a test, last week we did two posts with mid-level performance - one from the company account, one from mine - and got ~900 wishlists. There was no other promo elsewhere. Pretty solid.
Screenshot of a post from me in which I shared a gif of the harbor in Demonschool with the ferry docked, in which the ferry bobs up and down and it generally looks chill with lights in the rails, brown wood, and a calm vibe. The text says "I want demonschool to be finished AND I want to live there" Post from the Necrosoft account saying "hello this is us. Please buy our "persona like.""

And it's quote tweeting a post about how game devs have to reductively call out our game's similarity to another, when really we have thousands of influences. A steam wishlist chart is depicted during the period of these two posts where you see the numbers going up across the week where we posted these two things.

If you see this, quote with a photo of a bridge from your gallery
A photo of the Forth Rail Bridge, starting large in the top right corner and getting smaller in the distance. There is a stone quay in the foreground, and a sailboat on the left.

This took me three days of staring at, but I finally got the breakthrough and solved it. When I checked the first ten numbers and they were correct I was so relieved 😅
