Waiting for my Twittar data file to become available to download, so that I can get a 3rd party service to delete all my tweets. There are over 26k tweets on there, so it's not really something I can do myself. And I refuse to leave them all up for the new owner.
Had a quick sesh on Dirt Rally (1) this morning. Sometimes I forget just how good this game is and then I load it up and I'm absolutely buzzin' by the end of it. I don't think I feel as good in any videogame as I do razzing the Peugeot 205 flatout down a country road in Dirt Rally. It's absolutely brilliant! My all time fav game next to Pac Man.

Dear #TwitterMigration folks, an important tip on #privacy on the fediverse:

There is none.

This is a public medium; please treat it as such. Just as you have no privacy on Twitter (Elon Musk can read all your DMs), you have no privacy on the instance you’re on (your administrators can read all your posts).

You can set the visibility of a post but that’s a viewing suggestion, not a privacy guarantee.

Think of your posts as postcards, not sealed letters, and you should be fine.

That's ME! 🀣 .. me and my son were watching the livestream and I literally said a couple of minutes before the announcement that "They probably won't even look at my game" .. then it came on and they announced it as a winner! My son and I were jumping up and down and shouting about it lol yes, to us it's *that* exciting!!

Got my first crash bug on Xbox.. only happens on Xbox One X works perfectly on Xbox One and S.. and there's nothing in the console log or crash dumps to point to what it might be. Urgh. Got to figure out how to attach the debugger from Unity today and it's already starting to prove difficult thanks to lack of docs.. :(

Everything I've ever made is free today. Get it while you can.

I think service providers like Xbox/Steam etc. could do sooo much better for us if they put some effort into making their SDKs more friendly. It's like software engineers constantly just expect other programmers to do extra work to figure out an SDK rather than them making it easier .. and I feel like when you're providing a service, that's actually a pretty crappy way to treat your customers. Just help us get up and running quickly with full working examples and docs innit?!
