Just realized that my age is all ones in binary this year, that's fun ^^

Jumpscared by Tomodachi Life that it's my birthday 😅

age++;

Another MASSIVE W for the European Union. God, they're absolutely killing it. Watching legal bodies shamelessly stand up for us over and over again in the midst of this global attack on our humanity makes me want to fucking cry.

I think you can drop the 'to me', this is objectively theft??

#GodotCon Amsterdam is this week! 👀

I'm very excited to go there, meet up with friends, make new ones, and see all the awesome stuff people are building with #Godot!

It's my first #gamedev convention; I'm hoping to meet some new people, so please lmk if you're around 🙏

Sorry for hashtag spam :)

Calling a project file "final" is just asking for the need for a "final-FINAL".. and eventually a "final_V3" 😄

I suppose that makes you an influencer 😂

I thought it was... fine, for a Red Bull. Definitely an improvement over original, but I don't think it'll be a repeat purchase 😅

Mistakes were made.. maybe? 👀

US tech firms successfully lobbied EU to keep datacentre emissions secret Legally questionable confidentiality clause adopted almost word for word from demands of Microsoft and trade groups

I dunno about y'all but I'm fairly sure we were sold out. Everybody involved needs to be held accountable for this, and the data centers need to be held not just to the same, but to higher environmental standards.

When you're a distributed social network in spirit and not in practice, it turns out you're still susceptible to global outages. 🤔

It's understandable Bsky uses centralized infrastructure, distributed systems have trade-offs/aren't strictly better, but Mastodon users wouldn't have had this issue. 😅

Not supported, alive. It's fair that a game whose official servers shut down can no longer be supported in the broadest sense. Alive simply means that players can still continue to boot the game and execute the core gameplay loop. Secondary features (social, store, community, etc.) may be broken.

As someone who has worked on the exact type of games called out; I 100% support this initiative.

Games die because it's the cheapest option, not because there aren't any alternatives. Even if a studio closes, publishers should be held liable to keep the games they sold alive.

Well, they're here and they're way too large 😅

Maybe I should've thought about the fact that 90mm×90mm despite measured in millimeters, is quite large actually.

Will still work, probably?

OK who vibecoded this Bsky InternalServerError?

It's both legitimately how they work, and it's a massive joke 😭

First time ordering stickers (don't worry it's boring) and they've shipped!

Me the next 24 hours while I wait...

Never tried this flavor, but the original never convinced me haha

5K wishlists!!

Congrats on the milestone 🥳

Two ways, mainly

Recommendation algorithms :(
Recommendations by friends :)

Should I do the thing? Do I put #GodotCon in my Bsky name
Fuck it let's do it.

I'll be at GodotCon Amsterdam next week!

I also *desperately* need to update my profile picture.
This one is from 2019..?? 👴

I'll offer free high five or a contactless alternative to anyone who recognizes me 😄

RGB full-width wired mechanical keyboard with blank, black keycaps, printed with translucent labels on the fronts of the keys so the letters are visible, not on the top, but on the front or the keys. The desk mat underneath the keyboard is colorful and shows characters from various Katamari Damacy games.

Early birthday gift to myself; a new keyboard 👀

I really like these keycaps with the letters on the front instead of the top 😄

They're the same thing.

If the recommendation algorithm existed but phones (easy access to it) didn't, it would have been fine.

It's their symbiosis that's the real problem.

Attention stealing social media and instant gratification apps are a much more likely cause, imo

Lots of people just don't do the hard part of building a social network (IRL) these days, it's much easier to stay home and scroll, game or watch short-form content all day.

I'm guilty at times, too.

Exploiting intentionally ambiguous terminology *is* the scam.

If AI bros had come out saying: "THE BULLSHIT MACHINE IS REAL" everyone'd know it was bullshit from the start.

"ChatGPT said so" is similarly a lie; ChatGPT has no cognition/intelligence that we'd associate with speech.

It's by design.

There are just too many interesting talks coming to #GodotCon in 2 weeks.
I'm sad I will have to miss half of them live. Luckily they will be recorded afaik! 😄
