So, big social media stuff happening this week. Not for us, mind you. Threads launched, but I hate Instagram and that's required to make an account. Everything I've seen from Threads sounds like being trapped in a shopping mall filled with people trying to engage in the most uncomfortable small-talk with anyone who will give them attention but the only people who respond are the various store employees waiting to segue into a sales pitch. There's more brands than people, and the few humans there have nothing to say.

The vibe of bluesky seems fun. Adult content is allowed, good community, great jokes. Wish I had an account. I was able to set-up a Slipshine account for work, but no personal account for me. I'm still on the fence on if I ever want to do a proper personal social media ever again. Even if I like popping off stupid jokes and shitposts, I can't say I ever enjoyed my time on twitter. I'm definitely happier not being on it. I'm engaging with more actual websites now and playing more video games rather than constant doomscrolling. But at the same time, the allure is still there.

I dunno. Ditching twitter made me realize how not important having a social media was to me personally. Thanks to your amazing support, we just advertise on newgrounds, tumblr and pillowfort because I personally just kinda like those sites. We don't really need to, they don't see a lot of traction (and never did, even on twitter). The free site does far more to bring in traffic than any social media site ever did. I kind of hope personal sites start springing up more in lieu of social media. Hell, I'm kind of tempted to add a "links" page to the Rock Cocks site to promote help promote some other places. Get a webring going or something. But then again, I'm also considering subscribing to Retro Gamer Magazine just to feel the sensation of getting a cool little gamer book every month in the mail. Maybe I'm just getting old.

See you on Monday!
