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.

@mitexleo I have to admit I was so so so tempted to click "I don't use the Internet". But in the end I answered honestly.
@Herr_Tuslowsky LOL! That's great :D What was the prompt?

Greetings everyone! #introductions
I'm Simon Tatham, free software developer based in Cambridge, UK. Best known for PuTTY and a collection of puzzle games; various other things largish and smaller. Mostly tend to start my own projects rather than joining existing ones. (I think just because that's my idea of fun.)
This is my first time dipping my toe into short-form social media. (I was never on the birdsite.) Probably expecting to post random tech musings, with occasional maths.
@Xucaen oh yeah! :) I didn't notice at first.
@silo64 I just want to point out that I never mentioned cloud gaming in my original toot. I mentioned cloud, but not cloud gaming as we know it today which is using a fully remote GPU/CPU to process everything. I mentioned the power of the cloud which can be used for other things like LLMs to power NPCs for example.
I was talking about ubiquitous gaming, which is a broader concept that includes cloud gaming but also other forms of gaming, such as mobile gaming, AR/VR gaming, and as well as new ways of gaming that haven't been invented yet.
I've not shared photos of my consoles for ages, sorry they are dusty. But here are a few. #dreamcast #2600 #atari #megadrive #Sega #gaming #retrogaming

Taking yet another crack at fitting a more modern Bowser into his original sprite's limitations.
How does this one look to everyone?

@flamepanther looks pretty cool :) Given the limitations, it looks amazing in fact.
@ThePlant vitrol being sent Godot's way? Why? They've literally done nothing, it's all Unity's doing.
These mechanical keyboards by #8bitdo look so so neat! There's an #NES version, but the #Famicom version looks way cooler to me. That red and white is just so iconic. #gaming #retrogaming
I found it surprising that Microsoft is planning a dedicated gaming box for 2028.
Ubiquitous #gaming is the future, most of humanity has a computer in their pocket, and the power of the cloud and connectivity is constantly improving. In the future you won't think of what device you game much, you will just game.
@retrosponge enjoy :) one thing I found was that the standard capacitive touch sticks don't have a lot of grip. Eventually, I ordered some Skull & Co. thumb grips and those work very well. However, the capacitive part no longer works, so gyro has to be set to always on if you use gyro :)

It's release day! #Mastodon 4.2 will drop later today. I'm very excited for all the improvements we've been working on since January to become available to all server operators and their users.
Quick #Farlight84 match to see if what the new season is about. #gaming 😄 #gamingonlinux
Pre-work gaming.
@retrosponge I’ve not regretted getting it 😄 I’ve ended up using it more than the XBox.
@piermingo weird right? 😄
