@jmickle_ @rotational i like the caption about Millets
-
@hoskingc I liked it for that reason? There's a reason I used a wrestling term when I linked it.
-
@hoskingc ah, i didn't think you were. but yeah: for me, this piece is not very interested in "reality", which is a good place to start!
-
@hoskingc ah, i think the difference is that i read it assuming that it was gonna be about the persona. so i didn't need an explicit nod.
-
@hoskingc in fact, re-reading, i think it's a bit too harsh on her for her "playing at" "posturing as" (also lying, ie the Styles stuff)

@philippawarr doing a physical reward KS highlights: videogames are weird because the marginal cost of extra copies shipped is so minimal.
-
@philippawarr it's so easy to see extra money on the total as extra money in your pocket... but it's extra sales, instead.

@philippawarr i'm obv a creator, but: much more impressed by smart/judicious stretch goals (or lack) than by loadsa stuff.

@AdmlBaconStraps whether i have to hear them or not : *shrug* but i agree with the tweet at the very top of this thread

@rclarke ah, i don't have much beyond it - think @tburrellsaward has called dibs now, too

@chenoehart feels like it might be easier to go from an I to a T than a _ to a T?

@chenoehart yeah. More down to luck than skill (or planning), I suppose. Finding somewhere to settle down and supported working on one thing
-
@nyarluu the trick is that people never look up
-
@nyarluu also, yeah, I struggled with panicked pressing of the wrong buttons for a bit. It got better!

@nyarluu I justified it narratively in D2 - she's panicked and escaping, and these dudes expressly mean her harm.

@DavidLublin you could probably log in and revoke API access, if you're really stressed about it

@metasynthie I see their point... I think I end up at "might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb".
-
@metasynthie they'll find a reason for those crackdowns anyway, so might as well use some (tactical, minimal) violence where it makes sense.
-
@metasynthie yeah, it's true. I'm thinking about how the UW shooting was reported (especially initially) :(

I am off to karaoke... which means I need to figure out what to sing.
-
All I have in my head is Up The Junction (for some reason), which I'm not gonna do because I know @oh_cripes can do it better.
-
@edjeff ooh! thanks, I was considering that, it's good to have my intuitions reinforced
-
There was a bit at the Assemble talk yesterday, where they talked about designing loosely, because buildings will be repurposed.
-
I'm thinking how this applies in more than architecture-whatever you design will (hopefully!) be experienced in contexts you didn't envisage
-
We went and did some Now Play This curation after that-but I know no matter how much we plan, how it turns out will surprise us (hopefully!)
-
This idea, of loose design, of thinking about contexts, but ultimately accepting you can't control them, I think is in a bunch of my work.
-
Or maybe it's just a sign I get easily bored, so I only want to work on stuff that can show me new stuff late into the process.
-
@maltron3D oh yeah, totally. This isn't a reason not to do the work, to try to understand as much as we can ahead of time.
-
@tigershungry oooh! Thanks
-
I guess this is also about strategies for risk mitigation, and relative prioritisation of known and unknown risks.
-
I mean, both of the types of design I mentioned have real problems with prototyping and testing stuff in a low cost way.

i think i am glad? i have a lot of tabs open all the time, i never close them. the oldest tabs were probably about 6 months old

this is not quite as bad as my unsaved, untitled files in Sublime Text, mind - though I cleared those out a while back. oldest were ~2 yrs.
-
@XZtendo i checked! no dice

anyway, the important news i opened my computer to tweet: i ate some chips & cheese on the night bus home. that made me very happy.

@jawsew i mean, to be fair, they're all great dresses, you're winning either way
-
just checked, and there's 3791 bots running on CBDQ right now
-
@NotInventedHere there's 9898 connected
-
@DavidLublin not too painful, no... i probably should at some point. though cautious about making that public.
-
@DavidLublin yeah - though i'm okay taking implicit permission where people have been open about CBDQ. anyway!
-
@DavidLublin yeah - once or twice actively malicious, more often kids fucking about and using slurs or saying vile shit about public figures
-
@DavidLublin some tricky cases - eg a bot that says "<x> is sooo gay", and eventually puzzling out that the bot's author was <x> themselves
-
@jennschiffer @DavidLublin oh yes, i remember this, this is a good post!
-
@DavidLublin yeah - when it started i got emails for every change people made (still do). but i've got lazy and stopped checking :/
-
@DavidLublin but in part that's because the rate of abuse is surprisingly low. but yeah - very glad i thought about this before launching
-
@ragekit it's still just running on my normal VPS that hosts my site and that. it's designed to be pretty low-overhead to run!

@legobutts yeah - i think most successful teams (that don't have a full-time producer) end up with this via informal networks of producers
-
@legobutts but making that available to more teams, and on the other side getting more work to more people - that sounds valuable
-
@legobutts have definitely found getting up to speed with a producer can create a lot of value, even if you can't stay with them.

@TheDonquixotic @MetzoPaino right, but my experience of this program was: i wanted to do a task, i downloaded this program, ran it...
-
@TheDonquixotic @MetzoPaino had a brief moment of : whoa. then immediately spotted the way to do the quite specific task i needed to do...
-
@TheDonquixotic @MetzoPaino set it, immediately saw feedback that allowed me to adjust it slightly, and had no fear when i pressed run
-
@TheDonquixotic @MetzoPaino it left an impression on me because of the contrast between that moment of whoa & being done so quick.

@jmickle_ for an example of that flow: @trianglify

@jmickle_ that's fair - still saves you the faff of OAuth & scheduled things happening, mind. also, doesn't need a server.

@raylynn244 i mean, also bathrooms have stalls. why are women getting half-naked in the public section of rest rooms?

@raylynn244 so why make a law making it illegal? anyone with a grudge could get them arrested, any time. does that not feel abusable?

@raylynn244 what part is a free for all? where does this happen now? are there any cases of this being a problem?

@raylynn244 it's still illegal to sexually assault people, or harass people. or is the threat a trans person just standing there?

this isn't the only way to "do Youtube" - but it's the easiest, and most rewarded, so no surprise it's the biggest
