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.

I spent some time with #ChatGPT, working to write a fantasy story that had some gaming elements. Here's the transcript. The possibilities for ChatGPT to help with brainstorming and to give #writing prompts are ... staggering. And, most of all, this was just a whole lot of fun. @edutooters @edutooter #AI

Oh, look. It's a ridiculous piece of nonsense (that also completely ignores that most CSAM is found on fucking Facebook). https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1609813773862289408
Let's do a poll: Have you seen CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material) on Mastodon?

Question for the retrocomputing folk: do CRTs have a standard pinout for the electron gun? Is there a standard for voltages and currents applied to the deflection coils?
Asking to check what would it take to emulate a CRT tube at the tube interfaces.
Cool article on gyro aiming in 2022. I’d like to add the Armor X Pro, which gives gyro aim to any Xbox Series pad. #gaming #gyro https://cohost.org/jibbsmart/post/727958-why-2022-was-year-of
don’t have a PS5 or Windows machine to try it on, but I suspect either of these will beat the methods I’ve tried. Xbox’s lack of gyro support out of the box leaves it behind for a game like this.
I’ve explored the Xbox, GFN, and Switch versions of Fortnite. GFN probably comes last, latency isn’t ideal for a game like this, Switch’s gyro aiming is great, but the frame rate and graphics obviously are lower… still with the native gyro it isn’t a bad way to play this game. Xbox supports M&K but with no native gyro aiming it is sub-optimal, the best bet is map the gyro to stick and turn off aim assist.
Trying to use gyro mapped to right stick on GFN and XBox playing Fortnite, it works but natively on Switch it is more accurate.

I’ve tried native gyro aiming on Fortnite for Switch and it is soo good! Much better than mapping the gyro to right stick. #gaming

The problem with my Netflix recommendations is they assume I liked a show just because I watched 14 hours of it
