Christopher Leech 🔜 Serious Play Conf

Screenshot of Spotify playing "Kill Me" by Hayley Williams. The song is near it's end. The artwork is a back and white photo of Hayley Williams face with yellow lines drawn over the eyes.

Can't express how hard I have been hyperfixating on this album. 👌🏻 Absolute bangers.
Hayley Williams is legit one of my favourite artists. If you haven't listened to her solo stuff you're in for a treat.

Composite image of news articles about Oasis fans misusing disabled tickets. Transcribed Text: Oasis fans buying 2-for-1 disabled tickets 'ditch wheelchairs once they get in' Oasis fan Mark Chapman was left deeply frustrated at the band's iconic reunion gig in Manchester's Heaton Park as 'non-disabled' gig-goers 'took over' the accessible area 'DISABLED' OASIS FANS STAND Stand by me! Moment dozens of 'disabled' Oasis fans get out of wheelchairs and start dancing... watched by bemused muscular dystrophy sufferer

🚨 This is dangerous, not just outrageous.

Two major newspapers ran stories implying disabled people were faking it to get 2-for-1 Oasis tickets, simply because some wheelchair users stood up at the gig.

Let me explain why this kind of reporting is harmful. 🧵1/8

Thank you! I'm very excited to be there and to talk about RESEARCH!

Ludocene: Game Discovery From People You Trust A dating app that matches you with games rather than people. A deck-builder that profiles your gaming taste.

Last 6 months have been wild:
🤯We realised game discovery was broken.
🧪We made a prototype game-finder.
🎯We Kickstartered it into reality.
🥘We cooked and cooked with our backers.

🚀On Weds 6th Aug we launch Ludocene.com into the world.

I know the Pedro Pascal birthday cake is trending, which I would be happy to receive this year.. but lest we forget the Henry Cavill cake.

Haven't talked about Unbound, but it's been quite a journey to regroup and self-publish my next book rather than "all that" again.

Excited to have my first novel, WHAT WAS HIDDEN, in my hands. It would mean the world to me if you could share, buy, review as you're able:

Hard agree on both points. People eh? What can you do? 😅

I'm not saying vacation = anti-social. Like, I love to see holiday snaps. I just don't get using that social media for it... 🤔

If I - even accidentally - go on LinkedIn while I'm supposed to be off. I've failed. 😂

Definitely a weird combo.

You do great stuff Geoffrey! You'll find somewhere to publish I'm sure, and I hope to see it eventually. 💪🏻

Screenshot shows a post-match stats screen. Mario VS Peach. Mario won 9 goals to 5. An overwhelmingly has better stats for shots, passes, tackles etc.

🏆

We're a few degrees (C) lower here and I'm in a similar state.
We were not bulit for such temperatures/climates. 😔

Thoughts and prayers. 🙏🏻

I fully support these endeavours Kitty. I subsequently worry for the fate of your enemies if you do (and I'm glad we're friendly 😂).

Side Quests is back and so is host @chrislpsych.bsky.social! He is a Lecturer of Psychology, streamer, podcaster & tiny railway diorama creator! The game he is talking about today is @islandsandtrains.bsky.social by Akos Makovics & @futurefriendsgames.com.

I don’t wanna be the one to moan at Twitch for every little thing, but moving an accessibility button so it requires more clicks to access is anti-accessibility, actually.

Anyway, this is a heads up for all my Lightning Bugs; all streams have and will continue to support CC, they’ve just moved it

i heard you only get to play as donkey kong for the opening hour or two on the tanker. the rest of the story is told from the perspective of diddy kong as he infiltrates the “big peel” bananaspill containment facility on a hostage rescue mission, manipulated by unseen players in a larger game (1/14)

Hugh Jackman in the first X-Men movie shirtless. He is fit and muscled but not freakishly sculpted like an action figure.

Hugh Jackman in one of the later X-Men movies. He is chiseled dehydrated and a mess, but hey! he looks like a plastic action figure

A hill I will die on is that people are more attractive and look actually fit and not weirdly fucked up, dehydrated, & miserable in older films when they were allowed to be human and not horrible action figures. It’s not “dad bod” it’s “very fit human”

Not to mention the sizes drastically vary depending on the shop... 🤦🏼‍♂️ I'm sorry for my country.

you GOTTA put the sound on with this

This description is entirely accurate. 😂

I have been affected by the recent restructures at Bethesda, After an amazing 8 years i am on the lookout for new opportunities in Community, Marketing, and beyond. Slide into those DM's for a chat.

It's been an incredible run. Very proud of what was achieved.
