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.

@Retrosponge I'm still relatively new to it so I'm even still learning the old maps. I do love the game though! It bright me into modern first-person shooters.

If you want to join us on the QOTO matrix server (A chat room server that is federated like here) then check out this post. IT has some spaces you can join to find some interesting rooms to be a part of, all active rooms.

So I setup a list of maybe 30 highly active matrix rooms organized into Matrix Spaces on the QOTO Matrix server (though you can access them from an...
Tonight I played some games bouncing around between Halo Infinite, Bayonetta, and Sonic Frontiers. #gaming
Did you play anything?
@bpub that is a good point! I didn't consider Linux support. But thankfully everyone in that team has access to Windows. Except me! 
@bpub @aschaffar very interesting. Thanks. Roblox seems super flexible! I've seen people implement yoga tutorials, dance clubs, complete wild west sumulations, etc...
@LordArse massively wealthy celebs with millions of followers need to start thinking of contributing to the community. The reality is that nobody wants the whole of BTS in their server for free. They seem like a cool bunch of guys, but that's too big a problem to have. I'm not hosting a server, I'm just imagining how I'd feel. I'm more than happy to be corrected.
I really couldn't resist! I had to buy Sonic Frontiers. #gaming

For anyone interested, we have a chat room and matrix server for QOTO. Its usually not very active from now until about 10 hours from now, but the rest of the day me and a few people are active there.
Anyway, if anyone wants to join us and get a free account on our matrix server (it federates too so you can talk to and join rooms on other servers) then please do so, you are all welcome.
Here is the room, just register then follow this link:

Thoughts on responsible redesign of @bbcmicrobot for the #fediverse:
1) CWs for animated content. Most is fine but flashing graphics can be annoying even harmful
2) Externally hosting video content to reduce burden on our host instance. PeerTube? Will start image-only and investigate.
3) Bot called and replies on the #bbcmicrobot tag so it’s easy to follow and filter.
Would love to hear the views of more experienced community members on this
@nullifidian at this stage of my life my only video game-playing buds are my kids.
@LouisIngenthron true. This is a potential risk. This is making me think even more.
@Romaq thanks. Very useful.
@LouisIngenthron yes. I'm actually one of the few people looking at what he is doing with some enthusiasm.
But I don't envisage using this for every meeting. It is more of a special icebreaker for a new team to be used to bring everyone out of their shell.

@freemo same! There's the obvious risk of making something cheesy. And I don't envisage this as a tool utilised regularly, it would just be a special super weapon of an icebreaker.
@hgreer it is another option, yes.
@freemo the execution is still very very fuzzy indeed :) it is just a wild idea for now. My kids introduced me to the game recently and I was fascinated by the variety of stuff people have made with it. That got me thinking it could be used for much more than games... Anyway, if I do something I'll share.
Has anyone here contemplated using Roblox for work?
I manage remote software development teams who have never met face to face and I find that bringing people out of their shells is difficult, and activities like icebreakers can be invaluable for this.
Roblox games are very varied and the platform seems very flexible. And it got me thinking that maybe these icebreaker activities can be gamified. Imagine a Roblox game being used to estimate stories for a sprint for instance.
Anyway, does anyone know of anyone who has done this? I'd love to know how they found it.
