If this succeeds, it won't be because of Dorsey, I can say that for sure. Any of his successes happened in SPITE of him.

In a way, I'm actually grateful OldTweetdeck shittery happened. Putting the fear of getting suspended in me is enough to squelch any longering regrets I had about leaving that hellsite, and there's no way in hell I'd be convinced to go back without using OldTweetdeck.

Hot take: Didn't like this one. I played it to completion and I felt empty afterward.
Glad for those who do like it, but I really hope they don't make more like this one.

Outside of the numbered labels for the colours (which imo isn't very intuitive and clutters the sheets), this looks pretty damn convincing.

QA already involves automation. I'd know. I've done some. So this may be overblown as it typically seems to be for SE.
/That being said/, we'll know very quickly if GenAI is actually being used because their games will get /way/ more buggy. And we'll all know exactly what to avoid due to it.

Been hearing about a wave of Twitter bans. Seems like it might be related to using OldTweetdeck or OldTwitter.
Which tells me it's API related. Tread carefully, for those still there.

I've been playing the Dragon Quest 1 remake. Why have I not been posting stuff about it? Paranoid about posting spoilers related to the fact that there's a LOT of new story sequences.

For what it's worth, I don't use the Bsky app. I just use it on my mobile browser and deck blue doesn't integrate with any kind of notifications on desktop.
So I have to manually check mentions to see what they are.
I don't mind though. Reminds me of old forums where I'd just see stuff later.

I missed this a couple days ago. Jeez, hard to believe I didn't get one until 8 years later (give or take). It was already old tech by the time I got my first Genesis lol.
