@lavenderlens @authorbwest I'm reading :)
@authorbwest that's another problem with the bird site, as someone with little to no interest in American-specific issues the way the bird site seems to revolve around such things makes much of the content irrelevant to me.
@authorbwest Me too! So much so that I locked by bird site account.
@mollyjongfast I know! It encourages "look at that freak over there" type of tweets.
Late #introduction post!
Hi! I'm Simon. I'm an Oxford based indie game developer and tech artist.
I worked at Natural Motion, Frontier, ported VVVVVV, and then made Maia. Worked with Spilt Milk and Preloaded and freelanced about a bit. Now, I'm shipping Soccer Story with Panic Barn.
I've got a few more of my own games in the pipe including a C&C-like that I hope to put into production next year.
I also run a community garden called Oxgrow in my spare time!
As someone who enjoys ChromeOS as a daily driver (Crostini and super fast boot times are an awesome combo!). I think this is wonderful news: https://www.neowin.net/news/steam-enters-beta-on-chromeos-108-following-seven-month-alpha-period/
@gpowerf I only ever access via a 3rd party app except on rare occasions, so I think I missed most of "the algorithm". Normally I just saw people I followed, in chronological order - as it should be! This place doesn't feel too dissimilar, especially now nearly everybody has migrated over. 🐦 looks quite deserted. I've locked my account now too. I'm not intending to close it yet, but can't see it getting much use.
@confusedbunny it's too optimised for negative engagement. A bit like Tiktok it became too much of a time waster for me.
I think for me to abandon Twitter entirely, I'd need more official media orgs (e..g Sky, BBC, CNN) on here, more journalists because I get a lot of my news from Twitter (esp breaking news).
Also more official bodies (e.g. UKHSA, ONS) so I can see when new official research & stats are released on e.g. Covid, the economy, etc.
And finally academic journals (e.g. BMJ, Lancet, NEJM) who I rely on for latest health research!
Will they come?
I'm becoming a big fan of https://www.gamingonlinux.com/ #linux #gaming
@MudMan that's reassuring to hear :)
@gpowerf I got it just because I was curious about the wildly different review scores and...
It's... kinda really good? I know, I'm as shocked as anybody.
But yeah, movement is satisfying and mission design is solid. Tehcnically messy, as usual, but... maybe the best 3D one since Generations at least?
Welcome @elementallis nice to see yet another #gamedev here on Mastodon.
This is my fun social media account, I will post a lot of video game stuff (mostly old or cloud gaming) and some work stuff.
If I post an image with no Alt text it is because the image is just there for decoration and doesn't provide any extra meaning to the toot.
