Apparently a lot of people online think games aren't as fun anymore, but that could not be farther from the truth. There's more great games than ever now, so where is this coming from? As always, the culprit is capitalism.

"Hmm... urge to put together a synthesizer with the XNA 4 audio API, so that's what I'll be doing"

"Okey, now I got a good idea where I'm going... When I'm done, it should be a XNA 4 module tracker + some other functions"

Lmao, EXACTLY 13 years after these tweets, I started the same in Godot 🤣

Trying to dig through my old Twitter archives trying to coordinate the date a particular project started came up fruitless, because it was from replies from an account that was deleted so I can't step back through the thread

But the signs of other things I ignored in my old tweets is pretty amusing

This.

You can just try a little HRT. As a treat.
That said, if you're considering HRT, my advice is simple: DO IT.

HRT is one of the safest medical treatments there is, and you'll likely know if it's working for you pretty quickly. Within a few weeks, my quality of life had improved to the point where my wife noticed and commented on it.

Illusion LLMs give is we're speaking to someone outside ourselves. More accurate to say we're having convo w/ourself. This article about LLMs employing same tactics as psychics cold reading was spot on. Asking questions, we get answers that support own views and xp softwarecrisis.dev/letters/llme...

Trying to explain this to those who aren't in the community or aren't close friends is frustrating.

"Yes, I want to go back to work, but it appears that my existing got me blacklisted wherever I apply now after getting fired for being trans."

"Will I have to run again 'cuz of anti-trans bullshit?"
Sharing with ALT text for those who aren't aware of the ongoing real world implications for trans people in the U.S.

"I'm afraid I could be arrested if I travel to that state..."

The "Damage the Brand" clause was specifically what Visa used against MelonBooks back in December, and Toranoana in August 2024, to justify cutting them off, which basically doomed international sales for both retailers.

This was really wild because writing this article (which explained how female lions are in charge of the pride) really revealed to me how common it is for men to make male lions their entire personality and definition of manhood.

I was dogpiled, brigaded, and attacked for WEEKS.
Oh, what a time.

HRT for gender affirmation will be included in the Universal Health Coverage of Thailand, which means trans Thai citizens will be able to get free & safe HRT in future! 🥳

I love it when the taxes I'm paying are going to the good use of trans community in Thailand! 😎

in 2020, these guys who fancied themselves the world's true leaders bore witness to the power of a large-scale social movement so big that it could shift public policy and strip power from them within their own organizations. it undermined their entire sense of themselves and they lost their minds.
i think the big middle event between george floyd protests and covid that accelerated this hard right turn in elite circles was tech employees using slack to stage walk-outs and force concessions from management. tech bosses got a first whiff of organized labor's power and started reading mein kampf
Only in America could a white man with a current net worth of $2 billion see himself as part of a victimized group. 🤦‍♂️

We have absolutely zero democracy in our workplaces. Bosses are tyrant dictators who can rid you of your livelihood and ability to literally stay alive on a whim.

I (and millions of other people) am struggling to *stay alive* because my overlords tried to very incompetently replace me with Gen AI 🧵
