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.

Hey Linux YouTubers, podcasters, bloggers, etc:
If you find yourself saying “I don’t understand why they would do that”, reach out! I’m happy to have conversations and answer questions. We can make something more entertaining and fun and learn things together 🩷
Obligatory vitamin D walk today. Sunny and warm lunch breaks don’t happen often, I have to take the opportunity to enjoy a day like today. 28C is OK 👍

I’m trying out visual studio code as my new Java IDE as Jetbrain’s IntelliJ is becoming a bit too slow and sluggish for my tastes (at least the latest versions are) and oh my god I can’t believe I’m saying this, but VSC is totally doable as an IDE…

I bought my sister a Miyoo Mini Plus for #Christmas
She expressed interest so she gets one. #gaming.
A tip for #weirdCarMastodon
I went on vacation for 3 weeks, and upon my return, I found that my truck had been pooed on by birds, I mean REALLY pooed on! It was a target for them.
I washed the truck and a large area at the back had been etched and it looked really bad.
I tried this hair dryer method and it worked great! The paint looks totally fine and you'd never be able to tell it was ever damaged:

Daffy Duck by Hi-Tec Software was once of the big #commodore64 holy grail titles for many years. It was finally recovered in full by GTW in 2015, which only feels like yesterday. Still gutted the ray gun didn't shoot though!

Linux updates tease Valve 'Galileo' and 'Sephiroth' - Steam Deck refresh? Or new VR? https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/09/linux-updates-tease-valve-galileo-and-sephiroth-steam-deck-refresh-or-new-vr/
On long video games: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-66703504
I love games like Castlevania and Zelda, but I start them very sparingly because they are time drains. So I'm divided, on the one hand, an epic long game can be an incredible experience, on the other hand, it's very time-consuming entertainment that at times I can do without.

In the 🇵🇭PH, it was more common to take long vacations during the weeks approaching Christmas, in which kids also have long breaks.
We take the Christmas season there seriously: it takes up the whole “ber” months (September onwards), with a couple of days short break for Holloween 👻 on Nov., then Christmas resumes. 😄
I bet there are Christmas trees and lanterns around already this time. 😁
I have to say that whilst the sun hasn’t been as gloriously bright here my first week back in the UK from the Philippines has been pretty good weather wise. I hope tomorrow is a good 29 to 31 for lunch so I can enjoy a sunny walk.

I took this picture of the back of Atari's upcoming 2600+
The difficulty switches are present as well as a toggle for widescreen or 6:4.
Most interestingly, I was told they're hoping to be able to provide updates through the USB-C power port, which suggests we'll be able to softmod this unit, which is very intriguing...!
With the UK banning #nitrousoxide what happens to legal uses? I’m curious, what happens to motorsports? As someone who likes going to #SantaPod to watch the races I’m wondering if a whole power adder is now illegal to own? Does this affect the UK’s position to host international drag racing events for certain classes? #WeirdCarMastodon

Get a bunch of live-action FMV games from Humble Bundle, all Steam Deck Verified https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/09/get-a-bunch-of-live-action-fmv-games-from-humble-bundle/
@carnage4life I think the flexibility of working from home will depend on market conditions. When employees have more bargaining power, companies may offer working from home as an incentive to attract them. When employers have more control, they may require employees to work from the office. However, one thing is certain: employees have experienced the benefits of working from home and they want to keep them. The demand for working from home is strong and persistent. It is not something that can be easily reversed.
