Jumped here from Twitter to try it out. I'm a literary agent with Storm Literary Agency, representing #kidlit and adult SFF and cozy mystery.

@petetaylor my Twitter feed was full of people arguing. Be it politics, console wars, YouTube drama, etc... The crowd here seems more thoughtful.

@LordArse@toot.community this is a much nicer space than Twitter.

I'm starting to think that the whole community moved to Mastodon.

This is my toot. This is a fun account and I will aim to toot mostly about video games. However, this will give you an idea of my background:

* My PhD was on users’ perceptions and expectations of anthropomorphic UIs.

* I have been CTO for a highly successful on-line marketing venture with over 60 employees.

* I'm an experienced people manager, and I’m currently a senior manager at a large multinational (over 100k employees).

* My hobbies include video games, tech, camping, off-roading, skating, and travelling.

Technically this is the shelf I am most fond of - Acorn A3000, Acorn Electron, BBC Micro and Acorn Atom #mytopshelf #retrocomputing

@fuzzweed I do like the theory. Cars have started to go angular again with EVs like the Ioniq 5, so perhaps we can expect curvy gaming hardware again.

😀​ Lot's of great people on here! I'm loving #Mastodon! ❤️

Have a great day guys!

So I took a gamble on buying a shortboard NTSC VIC-II from a Chinese seller, as they are known to be hit and miss. But good news is that the one I bought works

🎮 Atari game "Galaga." 1. Screenshot, 2. Sketch in markers, 3. Finish in oil.
🎮 When I was starting out as a freelance illustrator, I designed a few video game covers for Atari.
🎮 The screen graphics were pretty basic. Orderly lines of bug-like monsters swarm overhead and drop bombs on you.
🎮 The idea with the package art was to develop the 3D fantasy in the player's imagination.
🎮 Although there were home versions of the game, you had to play the arcade version to see the ultimate levels.

Regardless it looks like I’m reluctantly going back to Gmail as the primary mail service. Which is a shame as I was looking forward to using Outlook’s email group feature.

@benjedwards yeah, I hope so. I really do enjoy mastodon much more than Twitter but I think that initial setup hurdle is a big one for most people
