@jcrabapple Are you blocking Threads? It looks like mstdn.social is and there's a few people I want to follow there that moved from Xitter to Threads. I think mstdn.social is blocking them already.
I'll be migrating my profile today somewhere I guess.
You have a developer trying to thank someone they lost being ushered off by swelling music and a WRAP IT UP sign on a teleprompter because they need to make way for more ads
It makes you wonder why you make games, write about them, when clearly you don't matter
And it makes the industry seem immature that it can't handle serious issues and has been so unable to cultivate creators as public people that despite economic superiority over other mediums you need to let celebrities talk more about broken feet than award winners because you have no one who can be a similar face and name representative
And no, Kojima isn't that, but 10 minutes to him for a teaser while winners say nothing stings
It's just frustrating, honestly angry, and overshadows even the few games shown that look interesting to play (even if it shouldn't be a focus)
I can finally reveal some research I've been involved with over the past year or so.
We (@redford, @mrtick and I) have reverse engineered the PLC code of NEWAG Impuls EMUs. These trains were locking up for arbitrary reasons after being serviced at third-party workshops. The manufacturer argued that this was because of malpractice by these workshops, and that they should be serviced by them instead of third parties.

When the clock strikes midnight on January 1, works of art & culture from 1928 will enter the public domain in the US, meaning they can be remixed & reused in new creative works. And 1928 was a big year, thanks to a famous mouse...

In this weeks’s @club MacStories Weekly I wrote about the excellent search engine Kagi and how, after using it for a few months, I’ve completely turned my back on Google Search. By focusing on the search experience and including great customisation features rather than ads, Kagi is, in my view, considerably better than Google.
