Hey BlueSky #fpl friends! I'm hoping to launch a new fantasy football game next season and I'm looking for people I know, trust & have interacted with down the years to beta test it. Launching post-IB, so something to do this quiet 2 weeks?! Might you be able to help? It should be fun! 1/2

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

This is one of the two most impactful changes I've made to my game design practice in the last five years. You can see the principles document for our main line of games here: bit.ly/underdog-des... Benefits: 🎲✂️🧵(1/5)

Help needed for a name for a possible 2025 game... Which do you prefer? 1. Clay It Again! 2. Ready, Steady, Sculpt! Just a straight up 1/2 answer is great, but if you want to say anything else you're welcome to. Thanks in advance!

There are just no words for how bad Southampton are this season. It always seemed highly likely they'd be relegated given how awful their defensive record was last season, but this is truly woeful. If Martin stays I think they'll hit the lowest ever points tally.

I had a dream last night that United went 1-0 down to City and then Amad got 2 right at the death and we won it 2-1 Now, I'm not saying that this was defintely a premonition but, this was almost certainly a premonition

One final ask as we close our 1st year in business - if you're looking for an Xmas game or a super fun little present, would you consider our games at Party Snail? They're super fun (check the reviews!), easily portable and colourfully designed. You'll love it - and I'll appreciate it!

Can anyone recommend a decent football pub near Marylebone Station? Ideally somewhere I could grab a table with a friend and chat whilst watching the game...

"One of the most respectful things we could do for one another is to recognise how little we know each other" Aaron Weiss Aaron has shaped my thoughts hugely. In the context of Sam Morsy, our ability to disagree well (or at all!) and living with tension... ☝️ This feels like a great start point

Just ordered my copy of the new game from Dave at Party Snail Games! His first two games are lots of fun so sure this one will be too.

Can highly recommend Dave’s “Jungle Hustle” game, and looking forward to playing this new game over Christmas too. Really great family games from an up and coming new business 👍

This is amazing. Particularly enjoying Lawrie McMenemy making an incredibly random appearance entirely out of context.

One thing that I'm missing here on bluesky is polls. Would be a good addition. Do you agree? Yes No Don't mind/see results

Just any fyi, if you want to help a mutual get their news, message, or just a cute thing out into the bluesky, reshare them. Hearting them doesn't do this because there is no algorithm here. Get into the habit of reposting to boost others.

Don't tell me I don't have the best job in the world 😂 #promoplanning

Begin with a dark screen. Hamsters' eyes blink open and light up, followed by disco lights that light up the rest of the hamster (eating a cookie) and the disco floor. A large disco ball rises up from behind the floor and the scene bursts with colour. Behind the hamster an explosion takes over the background and ninja hamsters jump out from the cloud. The hamster is still eating the cookie in the foreground unaware of the chaos behind him. Cut to live action.

Our new game, Ninja Hamster Apocalypse Disco, pre-launches to our mailing list only next Tuesday (woohoo!) before general release the week after. It's been a rollercoaster, but finishing off promo bits (draft snippet below) and I genuinely couldn't feel more excited about it. Roll on Tuesday!

Ninja Hamster Apocalypse Disco draft promo materials featuring game box and the coolest and dopiest hamster holding a cookie (LOL)

Haha this is amazing. Both because it's true and also because this was his answer to a child reporter. Say it like it is Mike 😂

OK - question for you... Who are your favourite companies right now, that people mostly won't have heard of? People doing things brilliantly, or ethically, or with a story? Companies that deserve more love. It can't be your own, but I'd love to hear of some good ones... 👇

Wow. I had no idea on BlueSky you can enable external media so you can watch YouTube videos on this platform. It overcomes the problem of only being able to upload 60 seconds of video here. It’s gets better & better

I'm sure a lot of my followers will be pleased to know @dalejohnsonespn.bsky.social is here - only 1 of my current followers is following him so I'm assuming people don't know! Anyone else out there you want to flag up as good follows?

Is anyone able to point me to insightful info/threads/articles about how the MAGA movement has responded to the fact that the Democrats haven't 'stolen' this election? How they're handling the dissonance? How they're explaining the lack of a 'steal'... Thanks!

Really fantastic to see so many familiar accounts making the move over from Twitter/X. I'll use the other platform occasionally when I want reach (nearly 4k followers vs <100 😆) but I'll be basing myself here now. Good to be here with you all 👋

New here, trying to move over from Twitter for obvious reasons. Based in Brighton, UK. I'm interested in politics, business and football - if that sounds vaguely in your ballpark give me a follow and I'll follow back. Keen to start building community here, away from the other place!
