If you don't mind I might set up home over there? A small, friendly, creativity / making focussed instance is right up my street.

This server has been great but I feel it's time to move to a more "me" space. I've already posted here about the problems of using the word "follower" - people listening is so much less problematic imo.

My only issue is hoping that the awesome folk I've met here will add me to their lists when I move.

@matthewbogart I'm enjoying it too but I feel it's missing something. There's just not the same snap as there is in Groening's other stuff. Whether that's the nature of doing animation for Netflix somehow or something else I don't know.

It's good though. I'll be quite happy to watch the series. Recommend Final Space as well. Another Netflix animation that just released.

See Twitter? You're even chasing away #Journalists with your crap. WAKE! UP! https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wired.com/story/join-mastodon-twitter-alternative/amp

It's like Twitter, but without all the bad people.

@krishooper yeah. It does seem a bit like a lottery. I generally stay away from it, but sometimes take the chance on special occasions. Normally the Lactaid at least protects me from the worst of it, but not this time.

@nielsim yeah agreed. I loved CVG. Edge was a revelation back in it's early days. Wish I'd kept that issue 1 ;)

@fhemberger I barely look at the local timeline tbh. I'm just making a point of following people (sometimes found via hashtags) who are interesting to me and who engage with each other. Then the home timeline is basically where I spend my time and that's generally still pretty full of activity.

As I've seen others say, just curate your own experience and then the home TL is a great place to be. :)

Nice piece about #games magazines. I've transitioned mostly over to digital versions, although I am still attached to my paper subscription to GamesTM.

I like the feel of paper magazines, and I think I'm of a generation for whom printed design, (and words and photography if I'm honest) is held in a special reverence.

That said I don't hoard mine anymore. They get recycled anyway, and the amount of times I've tried to use the zoom gesture on the printed page. #gaming

Video games magazines and me

It's fun to read angry reviews of rubbish things. But enthusiasm reads great, too. 'Valve just hit the high note no other developer could reach,' from Edge'…

@rtwx thanks.

I've used them with great effect, but for some reason I'm not at all well with it today after going for Mexican food last night.

I've switched to soya milk. Used to hate it, but now actually can't stand the taste of real milk instead, which is weird as I used to guzzle the stuff before I became L.I.

And I've just this week discovered a new kind of vegan cheese which is just amazing. Perfect for melting and making me fat ;)
