-
@ediblespread *gasp!* an inf assignment is vague and takes longer than its supposed to? Did the TA write a shitty api too?

"as if Tim Rogers instead of being a posturing hipster-sort had only read Edwardian pulp thrillers. Oh – and only talked about the game."
-
@v21 no-one knows who Tim Rogers is, do they? sorry. was funny, though...
-
So The Void arrived, but no G1. Alright, let's go hassle the guy.

@npupp I've read it, it's good: but it feels like Practchett is getting deeper and more hurried these days.

@npupp not read it yet, no. And why should he stop? Minds me of PG Wodehouse writing about toffs and butlers while in a POW camp...

-
@FreshAirRadio what was wrong with it? (puzzled that the kludged together stream on the site still worked...)
-
Why "Invisible Cities", over any other book? #indiegames
-
@v21 (A: it's moving, a kinda pretentious choice, has lots of content. and it's about systems, not people)
-
@v21 and to be clear here: I love the book. I love indie games. But, there's still something...
-
@timoncheese oh god, that's terrible, the warring blue and purple...
-

@npupp no! that is how it should never be done. i am in complete agreement with you.
-
@DarioVillanueva nah, twitwalk. obv they haven't set up their useragent or whatever it is. i don't even have a working memory card yet...
-
@DarioVillanueva but as a point of pride, i have poked twitter with curl before. so, um, i could clearly make an incredibly shitty one...
-
@fonduelover my love is over. the N213 is no more, and i had to beg for a lift home. fucking... London, i guess
-
pfah, tired of my computer deciding not to turn on. the worst is that it's done it before, then magically works...
