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.

ChatGPT has been profoundly helpful in my journey of learning code.
I have found the best method of actually learning is doing and asking questions along the way.
What is the difference between an array & a stdClass, ChatQPT explain to me this code using the rubber duck method.
I feel like my ADHD brain looses so much knowledge that I vaguely understood when I read documentation months ago.
Helps cement why in simple terms.

The greatest fear of an indie developer is to understand that every year thousands of games are released on Steam
There are so many indie games out there and it's hard to jump in among so many
Early access + demo

The Final Ford Fiesta has been made. I'm going to be controversial and that whilst some decent Euro cars have been produced by Ford since it started making small cars for Europe in 1932 with the Model Y I'd rather see the brand focus (no pun intended) on a global strategy, if that means fewer cars for Europe so be it.
I'd rather see Ford continue to take on Jeep with the Bronco, lead EV trucks with the Lightning (and future Ranger and Maverick offerings), and produce more affordable and super practical vehicles like the 2022 Maverick for the masses.

@gpowerf [Very super-shameless plug]
My two little #XCBASIC games are perfect for short breaks, especially the first one 😁

@gpowerf I remember that game fondly, beautiful atmosphere, horribly difficult, I can't remember doing much there, but still.
Let us know if you make any significant progress there :)

Fucked over a massive portion of his workforce then gets mad when those same people go work for his rivals for better pay and job security

Isuzu UK just sent me this advert and this is why I LOVE Isuzu in the UK so much!
Sure they can only sell the gutless EURO6 engines here, sure their paint is about as crap as Teslas... But they understand that users like me want to camp with their trucks, the understand we want to fit bigger tyres, we want to lift the things, we want to buy accessories right from the dealer without affecting warranties.
Jeep is here in the UK but they are effectively absent for everyone who isn't wealthy given how insanely overpriced the Wrangler is. That's not to mention they don't sell the more practical Gladiator here either! #mastodoncars

So ... everyone who's signing up for Threads now instead of waiting for ActivityPub support: What are you going to do with all those Threads followers you built up in the meantime? Plead with them to re-follow your Mastodon account? Abandon them? Port them to a fresh Mastodon account and abandon your followers here?

Back in the 80s, I was a C64 fanatic.
And I was against AMSTRAD.
