This is my fun social media account, I will post a lot of video game stuff (mostly old or cloud gaming) and some work stuff.
If I post an image with no Alt text it is because the image is just there for decoration and doesn't provide any extra meaning to the toot.

@KiwiEV I just really like EVs :) every car can be a torquey thing that's never annoying to drive when you hit the hills. Even a small economy car like this.

Today I took the BYD Dolphin to the former home of Opo the Friendly Dolphin (predictable, I know) 😅 It's surprisingly peppy for quite a normal-looking EV. The official 0-100 time is 7 seconds, but it easily did 6.5 which is getting into hot hatch territory.
Video coming soon.
@Rjdlandscapes @ukuku @KiwiEV at this rate that's the best thing that could happen to GM. And this is coming from someone who historically was a huge Chevy fan.
@Dozer old meme, still funny :)
@thejpster isn't a circle an equisided polygon where the number of sides tends to infinity?
@jellycrystals It's amazing how influential a teacher can be. A bad teacher could sway a smart kid away from pursuing a particular subject in the future. So much wasted potential.

Paying a few dollars a month to use Twitter, which is run by a billionaire.
Donating a few dollars a month to help your Mastodon server, which is run by people who care about their communities.
Periodic reminder to check the "About" section on your Mastodon server to see if they have donation links. :)

I am really quite excited about the two new Z80 kits that will be listed on z80kits.com in the next couple of days. Spoiler: They are not RC2014 kits!
@Solid_Snail I'm actually super impressed by this port, sure some slow loading, but graphically it is fine. The Switch is today's ZX Spectrum, conversions are compromised but impressive nonetheless.
The upcoming #Xbox controller seems to be pulling #Microsoft out of the controller dark ages straight into the present.
Two key features that were sorely needed are shown here:
* Accelerometer: Gyro aiming has become essential to many for FPS games, the days of having to use a third-party controller that allows you to map the gyro to the mouse or stick will finally be over! Native gyro implementations will be possible.
* Direct to cloud: Bringing the Stadia controller experience to Microsoft cloud gaming, this is really nice to have too! While Microsoft's cloud gaming isn't anywhere near as usable as #Stadia was it is slowly improving, I hope that eventually, it will catch up to where #google was years ago.

I keep coming back to Lemmings on the Game Gear. While it is missing some graphical details compared to other ports, it’s a surprisingly full featured port. And it looks gorgeous.

It bugs when I see serious comments about programming topics prefaced with something like, "I've been doing this for 10 years," followed by some ridiculously strongly stated opinion declared as an immutable fact.
Where do people get this confidence from? I've been professionally programming nearly 30 years at this point and I don't ever feel confident enough to assume I know *anything* for sure.
In fact, the older I get, the less sure I am and the more I've forgotten.
