While It's still ok to eat the rich, it's also ok to just put them in your compost pile. They are 98% shit and will be good for your veggies next year.

I've got a better idea Steam! Why don't you add real 2FA instead of your silly custom system. I don't work with my fucking phone next to me. Use some of those billions (yes, with a B) you make every year and hire some programmers.

Now that there is an opening for CEO of Unity I'd like to throw my hat in the ring. My main qualification is I won't fuck it up as much as the last guy. Waiting by the phone.

HIs name was Pumpkin Head Boy and then our VP of marketing told me that if I named him that people would only buy the game on Halloween. So I changed his name to Pajama Sam. It was good advice.

#halloween #pajamaSam

@synlogic He was heavily invested in Big Pajama.

@Joe_0237 Google docs is the only thing I still have to use from Google. What is a good web based alternative? I have yet to find one that isn't just a simple online notepad. I need a full featured editor and spreadsheet. I need something that non-technical people can collaborate with me by clicking on a link. I'm happy to pay for it.

Things about 2023 that would have surprised me:

61: I can walk into a bank with a mask on and no one cares.

I didn't get the National Alert test message. I assume this means I am the actual target of the future attack.

On Return to Monkey Island we had a lot of Zoom and Slack calls. Other than one team meeting none of them were video calls. Video calls are deceptively exhausting. Try eliminating them and you might be surprised how much better people feel.

I did a quick calculation and I've spent close to 98,000 hours making video games. Making video games! Not curing cancer or establishing world peace, but making video games.

I've notice on screenshot from other Mastodon users there is a "translate" button next to some posts. Is this something our server admin needs to install? This would be very useful. I've gotten to the age where leaning German and Italian would be quite a stretch and cut into my evening TV time.

Fun Fact: I don't give a shit what Taylor Swift does.

One thing I do wish for in 4.3 is if someone post link to a post it was smart enough to rewrite the link to not take me to to a different server.

Harrrrg to believe it’s been a year since Return to Monkey Island landed on our shores! Happy Anniverrrrsary from all of us at Terrible Toybox.

Question for Mastodon: I have a bunch of CP/M 5.25 floppy disks that I want to "liberate" a bunch of Z80 code I did as a kid (the world needs to see my Space Invaders clone). Any ideas of a simple/easy to get read them? My CP/M machine is long gone. Tracking down old CP/M machines is outside the scope of easy.

@aral @thomasfuchs I did. It was all rigged.

Pro-tip: Keep a separate list of tasks that can be done in 5 minutes, then we're your lacking motivation grab one of those and 3 hours later you'll realize you've got a lot done. For me, that task today is: "On screen hint when you get you ass kicked by and enemy at a much higher level".

Just added mushrooms that shoot spores at the player. Next step is to write a psychedelic shroom shader.

@lord Never played that.
