I used to make TV shows. Now I make video games.
This.

I got flamed in my WoW Discord for saying I was having fun w/ DI because it’s such a meme in the community. But it’s an enjoyable little piece of content and most of the people talking shit had never downloaded it.

Does this beautiful creature live in London, ON? Cuz I swear I met him (or his twin) while walking my dog yesterday.

I guess my thoughts would be - it depends on what they’re deleting, and why. Are they deleting superfluous junk data (like my browsing habits from 2009?) Or are they deleting stuff to hide wrongdoing? Or are they deleting stuff that provides important context to current events?

I’m only a short way through it, but the fact that I’m actually able to seamlessly play a complex game like Diablo on a mobile device is… pretty impressive.
The controls are easy. Crusader feels satisfying to play. The graphics are good. It’s solid.

Thanks guys! Gonna look at all these.

I’ve never picked up MTG, but I play Hearthstone cuz I’m a Blizzard fanboy.

OSRS is on my to-be-downloaded list as well - that’s a game I absolutely LOVED as a kid. I’ve also got World of Warships, Clash of Clans and RAID, cuz I couldn’t ignore the ads.

I've heard it since I moved here - but things have got measurably worse in that 10 year span, I think?

My immediate family made the inexplicable decision to follow my Twitter, so they already know I'm a degenerate.

A little farther south, and it hits Calgary suburbs and potentially kills hundreds more.

And a primary source of emergency information was just ... gone. Kaput. Useless, for residents in danger, and for news agencies.

Eventually newsrooms will figure out that it's no longer worth posting our content on Twitter because it's no longer reaching valuable eyes.

If everyone's rate-limited by blue-check shitposts and crappy ads, what's the point?

And there was no way for us to figure out exactly where, or how destructive it was, because all our primary sources of information were "rate-limited".

So if we can't get information from the website, when it's literally part of our job, how will anyone else?

Love it. Everyone's got one of those.

That's like me and WoW in some ways - when I'm feeling bad, brain off and go do mindless achievements or something.

I have questions.
