  1. today I went to a falconry show and the falcon just... fucked off. flew away and didn't come back again.
  2. do you ever get overawed at the vast scale of the world? the number of details, the number of people thinking about each of those details? @Moodak/1785871846870519865
  3. After 8 years and 58440 bots... CBDQ has come to an end. Thank you to @GalaxyKate & to everyone who has made a bot. It's been a pleasure.
  4. it seems very possible that we are now exiting the brief window where a good fraction of all of human knowledge was searchable & instantly available. a window that starts with the invention of the search engine & ends with the invention of large language models.
  5. this is like a little koan
  6. can't believe that the Audacity spyware story has ended up with someone getting stabbed by a 4channer (for daring to try to fork the project with a name that isn't derived from a slur)




Final tweets:

  1. my plan for Saturday morning is to go to my friends office, where they're having a side project session, and delete my Twitter account and put up my tweets on my own website as an archive. maybe you want to do this too?
  2. if you're thinking of coming over to Bluesky, here is a list of games people you might want to follow: go.bsky.app/GYnRDJX
  3. reminder if you're thinking about it: the ways in which I was on Twitter I am largely now on Bluesky bsky.app/profile/v21.bsky.social
  4. Downpour update! - you can add comment sections to your games now! - Downpour (by which I mean me) is in Bristol next week, and showing at EGX the week after! - also there's a pineapple downpour.games/~admin/updates
  5. not really here any more - mainly on Bluesky instead: bsky.app/profile/v21.bsky.social
  6. Downpour status: it's not currently possible to log-in - seems to be an issue with the authentication provider, I think I have to wait for a resolution from their end.
  7. in the realms of bureaucratic hell trying to persuade HMRC that their website does not work for me. and when I say "does not work" I mean this very literally:
  8. remember using Meta Spark Studio and being like... wow. this is really cool. *Facebook* built this?! @sableRaph/1828408839755973029
  9. i was like... where have i heard that name before... turns out: @sevensixfive/1826632989775720727
  10. I am bummed to announce that I won't be going to XOXO this year! was supposed to be talking about Downpour in the Art + Code session. But I got Covid & it's triggered my fatigue, so I will be lying down at home instead. It happens.
  11. Americans should definitely watch this video. Just soak up some pure British culture. See how it feels. @LestahRaz/1823742415582453959
  12. "the battalion commander reportedly had one response to all the soldiers' questions: "A soldier doesn't need to take an interest in the laws of war. You need to think about the IDF's values and act according to the IDF's values, not the laws of war."" @leloveluck/1823612394087546925
  13. first poem that comes to mind from this prompt. Elizabeth Daryush, Still-Life. @becimay/1823656517519749626
  14. good summary of the Cass Report & the philosophy behind it. yes, in the New York Times, I was also surprised. nytimes.com/2024/08/13/opinion/cass-report-trans-kids.html
  15. on this: my advice to young people is to not do a game dev degree. do a coding degree instead & make a few games on the side. games companies will still hire you but you absolutely want other options than to be locked into this industry. @LouisStaples/1823312603159924969
