@atomicpoet Has @killyourfm seen this??

@jedi Ah, ok. Because friends of mine did this yesterday and I still cannot see them.

Is @bsky.brid.gy still working? A friend over on #Bluesky tried to follow @ap.brid.gy over there but I still cannot see them from here.

@killyourfm Man, is that beautiful! If I ever come California and your neck of the woods, I'll give you a shout!

@killyourfm Man, Linux is a gaming platform now!

@killyourfm Hand on heart, if you could only keep one, which would it be?

@killyourfm As an enthusiastic Steam Deck user and prospective Linux gaming laptop owner, I approve this message!

@killyourfm Thanks for putting C in there. My god, this looks horrible!!! Hope you have a cool shady place nearby!

Just to make this clear to the non-Germans amongst my mutuals: there were not "10s of thousands" on the streets against #fascism in #Germany but 100s of thousands, probably around 1.4 million in total. The largest demonstrations since reunification.

@killyourfm Two words: Judgement Night!

Musk always launches a mindboggling stupid thing before the weekend so that Fedi admins get no sleep…

@killyourfm I‘m about 40hrs in and totally taken by it. Reminds of late 80s/early 90s RPG on my Amiga. Playing as a Bard and trying not to joke my way to hell 😁 And gosh you finally can romance everyone in a game, love that!

@killyourfm Did the same earlier this year, got shortsighted in one eye over the past few years so that everything beyond 2 meters became blurry. As soon as I put on my glasses, the world returned. As an outdoor person, I can’t overemphasize the joy this brought to me. Enjoy your glasses, the true windows to the world for middle aged gents like us 😉

@killyourfm I would probably stretch that a bit to the late 90s/early 00s, when 3d first and third person games became the norm (see Far Cry in 2004), with at times fantastic storytelling (see KOTOR in 2003). But yeah, there seems to be a general sense of "new game in town" every year in that time. And new in the sense of "I‘ve never had anything like that before“. From the mid-00s onwards, games seem to become more refined, better visuals, sounds, mechanics, but not exactly breaking new ground.

@killyourfm Not to say that there aren’t fantastic games in the past 20ish years, quite the contrary, but it seems the dramatic innovative leaps and pure novelty that was so strong from the early to mid-80s onwards is gone.

@killyourfm If you make a retirement commune in about 15 years or so, give me a shout!

@killyourfm On a side note: old people play with the Y axis inverted. Old people is also me.

I have to say, #Mastodon was a great source for reliable news on #Russia today. Excellent!

@killyourfm That's so frickin 90s! And how gutsy in 2023 to release a 10min song. That's some Deep Purple shit right there!

@killyourfm
It's fascinating to see how Dave Grohl became the unlikely biographer of his generation. For me it's like knowing the guy since my late teens, like a friend from school.
