I heard BlueSky is kind of positive vibes but dead as fuck, Lol. I probably won't bother with it, I'm not sure, I only had Twitter to follow Gaming news and then post about it in VGChartz but the days of TwitterBoy are over and I'm no longer the Xbox news poster, which means I really don't have much need for Twitter or BlueSky. Besides...So much of gaming news is negative filled lately, I'm just drained by everything, Lol. Man I just want to have fun playing games, Lol. If it's not real life being mentally exhausting it's discussion around videogames being mentally exhausting. I can't escape the negativity wherever I go and it's making me into a cranky, more argumentative person and I don't like it, Lol.

It's another echo chamber, one that will also not be free from AI nonsense and I've seen some Marxists moving over there as well.

If anything I just see Bsky as being another Titanic (like how Twitter is right now). It's just heading slowly towards it's own course with an iceberg. You're honestly better off with this site and discord, you'll be better off talking with friends and the community here than on social media, where you know shit is going to get spun.

I've also tried the other sites before BSky btw. I was there when Pillowfort was a thing, it was meant to be the tumblr for artists, it crashed and burned. Did the same for Itaku, and that has an interesting SFW/NSFW system layout (can literally switch profiles to view what content you wish to see and users get to control their own tagging and edit in real time, which was such a good feature), but that also had gone super quiet/dying.

You've also seen how general journos are acting right now in the games/news industries, relying on twitter posts hearsay and gaming journos out there using AI to quickly spew out articles, it's not really productive and leads to more and more misinformation (like that fake NDA page on that DA thread for example).

I was going into Elder Scrolls Online Steam forums the other night and it's just... negativity (you can guess and likely know why). It's best to just cut as many sources of that kind of media out.

I didn't know why Tbh and didn't want to know why but curiosity got the best of me, I've legit not heard a single complaint. Now I'm excited? Two new companions? Why didn't they add these during the major expansion, Lol. I need to acquire them both to add to my house now, Lol. God they really need to upgrade the limit for house companions.

I think her blue hair is a bit stereotyping so I'm a bit meh on that but as for her character herself, perfectly fits into the ES universe, Daedric Princes and Vivec both assign as male and female. These people just come across as tourists, not a fan of her stereotypical design but absolutely zero problem with her being non-binary. Also this is a game where Reptiles (Argonians) have tits so...Oh they should do some reading on Lord Vivec's...Relationship...With Molag Bal as well...Now that's a fucking wild story, Lol.

Look the real world is bad enough as it is right now, I come to gaming to escape and have fun, all I see is negativity, people angry about every little thing, and I'm uncomfortable with rooting for things to fail...Youtube/Twitch/Twitter is just choke full of rage-bait and misinformation now. That's without getting into the disgusting amount of layoffs and the Xbox fans (I love em) dooming about everything, Lol.

I've been trying to avoid this shit this year and you know what it has gone mostly well, I'm enjoying my time a lot more gaming when I'm not following these discussions, I've probably played more games this year than I have in recent years, I'm falling in love with it again then it's ruined everytime I seemingly come online.
