If I could remember names I would be unstoppable. What a skill!

Australia is having an art moment! People debating what makes a painting good. Love it

Are you even a Planet of the Apes fan if you've never suffered through all 95 minutes of whatever Beneath the Planet of the Apes was?

@kreig Beneath the Planet of the Apes is great! Well, not great but good. Well, it's OK. It's not bad

Classic Star Treks like Enterprise and Voyager have some pretty cool episodes but then every so often they'll do multi season arcs with mincing aliens in unflattering leotards or wigs

@kwramm The same number of years (29) has passed between now and Voyayer's debut (1995) and Voyager's debut and The Original Series debut (1966)

So many intellectual property holders think game devs are an opportunity for passive income and not only charge exorbitant license fees but do nothing to promote the resulting game.

If you are a game dev, demand the license holder use their channels to push the game as if it were their own baby. Smart owners will want to do it too as it is win/win. That's what justifies the high fees, not some ephemeral notion of popularity.

I’ve finally got the MFM emulator working properly so I can relive AT&T’s gigantic misstep in entering the UNIX hardware market. The 3B2 is a dreadful computer, but I have a fondness for it that I can neither explain, nor justify.

@twylo interesting shape!

I consider tutorials a failure of design and work hard so people of all skill levels should be able to just pick up and play one of my games.

Obviously I usually fall waaaay short of that lofty goal but just watched someone play Liberation and they did mostly figure it out. Good feeling.

The Apple M1 processor remains a beast. I have a complex edit rendering in AviDemux and I'm doing real time editing in Premiere Rush and it hasn't dropped a frame. Meanwhile my GDrive backup is running in Forklift and it's finally hit 1Mbps.

@engagedpractx credit where credit is due, the M-series CPUs are great

Gamer new to 6DoF genre: Hi I like Descent (1995) and I'm looking for something similar but more modern?

Space game fans: You simply must play Freespace 2 (1999).

Waking up and going online you often get to see a little story that developed overnight:

10h ago: Check out this rare quadruple eruption from the Sun caught by the Parker Solar Probe!

8h ago: Wow the aurora over Toronto is amazing right now.

6h ago: Go outside right now it's incredible. Never seen it so far South.

4h ago: Got a massive headache and sore eyes but the hospital is packed.

2h ago: The police sent an SMS about killer plants?!?

1h ago: I'm blind and there's something at the door

I would love* it if we started discovering hundreds of rocky earth-like exoplanets with our fancy space telescopes but every single one was 450C due to a run away greenhouse effect

Trying to avoid #Eurovision this year but when the didgeridoo came out on stage I was so proud of our entry 🦘

@madcodger Eurovision is more alchemy than science. We're just happy to be there and part of the party.

I can tell if my local football team wins or loses by how long it takes for the match report email to arrive. A victory I get an email in my inbox on the weekend, a loss and it trickles in mid-week. I love that

This is definitely nowhere near an actual design yet, but for some reason I'm trying to think about how to attach a scoring system to a game about assembling charcuterie boards. #gamedev 🎲✂️

How close are we to replacing power sockets with univeral power/data cables? So, for example, your fridge plugs into the wall using USB-C.

@ClutchAbuse nooo my dreams are melting away like a USB wire carrying too much current
