Well looks like fritter and nitter just bit the dust with the Twitter API lockdown. Guess I'm completely off Twitter now.
This is my first toot on Mastodon, so why not making this meaningful? I am Stefan and I write games for classic home computers from the 80s (almost 30 systems), mostly interactive fiction in the style of the old #Infocom games.

An interesting read.

Neon and corporate dystopias: why does cyberpunk refuse to move on?

Repeatedly reproduced and reimagined since the 80s, the tropes of cyberpunk must evolve or die
