This Is A Fred

I ain't gonna be here much longer. This platform has reached it's end of life. BSKY has API access, custom handles, and is getting product updates weekly. It's securing funding left and right, and while it allows everyone to join no matter what, I can EASILY curate my feed 🙋‍♂️bye!

@therealxios @TimSweeneyEpic @Kekich_art Can you now?

@_FredMackay @TimSweeneyEpic @Kekich_art Wierd, I seem to recall buying all of my UT games on Steam, before the Epic Store was even a thing.

The surest way to spot a monopoly? A company makes vast profits from vast markups, does a bad job, is hated by suppliers, and has no competition. Let Steam bring their store to iOS. Let Epic bring our store to iOS. Let the best store win!

@xwb7wk @TimSweeneyEpic @Kekich_art Also I can remote play my Steam games via the Steam Link app. Another thing that Epic doesn’t offer.

@TimSweeneyEpic @Kekich_art Wait, why would I buy mobile games on Steam? There are dedicated stores for each platform. The only reasonable demand is side-loading.

@JakeSucky the irony

"Content creation isn't about being interesting or engaging anymore... doesn't matter you have 70,000 clips you go anywhere you want" Devin Nash opens up about the dark side of internet clipping and how it's undermined what true content creation is

@JoeFromSeattle1 I’ll get there haha

lol lmao even

@naiivememe Too agile

why didn’t this guy become Apple CEO ?

@TychoBrahe Textbook FPS

Finally

@TimSweeneyEpic How many people are Apple and Valve letting go due to financial mismanagement?

@TimSweeneyEpic @Kekich_art Can’t buy Epic Games on Steam, because Epic blocks competing stores from selling Epic games. Instead, the only source of Epic games is the clunky, awkward to use, exclusive buying, refuses-to-support-linux-but-will-crusade-for-iOS Epic Game Store.

@Kekich_art Have you bought a lot of iOS games through Steam? No? It’s because Apple blocks all competing stores from selling iOS games. Instead the only source of iOS games is the ad-infested, developer-hated, single-platform iOS App Store.

@Ryandally08 Does she… think the ABC is purely a TV station?

Pauline Hanson says that she would “defund the ABC” of their “$1.2 billion” dollar a year funding and make it “subscription only” “if people want to pay to watch the ABC, so be it” “I wouldn’t fund it anymore I’d shut it down” “Let the people who want to watch it subsidise it”

@ConserArmenians @ManhattanMingle If I, someone you don’t like, bought a home to profit from it, and I was pulled up on code (the minimum standards of habitable living) which meant I lost my return on investment or that I had to work harder to fix my investment, you would laugh at my misfortune.

@ManhattanMingle Nice, fuck over small landlords, who are barely getting by, hitting them with bs violations. Meanwhile Graystar (owned by Blackrock) is gonna scoop up this buildings and continue to screw people with algorithmic pricing because they can afford to not have bs violations.

Zohran Mamdani is now randomly knocking on doors and demanding to inspect peoples homes. This is communism.

@sincespacies I’m ‘86 so a Millennial. We also had theVHS, Atari, rotary phones, dial up, bulletin boards, NES, Megadrive etc etc etc. My grandparents still had a black and white TV, my mums colour still had a big clicker dial.

Being a Gen Xer means we grew up with analogue hearts but got old with digital minds. We're the last ones to know the "Before Times" and the first to master the "After." 📟💻 Name one thing you miss about your childhood AND one thing you're envious of kids today?

@Sydnus83 This kinda looks like something @jantonsson2 or @FutureFriendsVG might enjoy

Thank you so much for your support, you have no idea how important it is to me🥲 Twitter is the only place I can get visibility (and I bless the holy algorithm). I made this post because I had a bit of a mishap, I'll try to keep it short. For three years now, I've been trying to find a publisher. After the first attempts which did not succeed, I decided to launch a Kickstarter campaign, but it failed. So, as a last resort, I launched an early access version. Unfortunately, it still hasn't taken off, so I continued playing solo and I'm now tackling a large part of the game which features stunning environments. I figured that should pique the interest of publishers, so I sent my pitch to several. Days went by, and strangely, I didn't receive any messages whatsoever. Then I realized that my gmail had a storage problem and the emails hadn't been going through for two weeks. So I might have missed a lot of opportunities with the publishers I contacted; I'll never know. I resent my application, but it was so demoralizing that I made this post here. I'm glad it had some effect. I'll keep you updated on how it goes. Thanks again for all the feedback and love you've given me !

As a long time customer of @Pretzel_Rocks DO NOT GET PRETZEL ROCKS The desktop app has been broken for MONTHS and there is NO SUPPORT AT ALL. I have a MONTH old ticket with no reply, and the discord is FULL of tickets. @songtradr is leaving all the pretzel customers in the DUST.

@KaidoGenkai My original PS2 still works

My third PS2 just died on me. Old consoles really don't hold up against time, sigh. Are replacement disc drives on E-bay the same quality as OEM? Assuming not even close, but curious if anyone has any experience with 'em.

@Eng_china5 @mdf200 This has existed for decades

China is innovating solutions to help everyone without exception… A car with a retractable seat designed to provide greater comfort for people with disabilities and the elderly.

@Melee1988 @DAKKADAKKA1 What about all those games with an exit plan that have already released over the last 20 years that weren’t that expensive? Awful argument.

@DAKKADAKKA1 You do know that if companies are made to have an exit plan for all games, the cost of games are all going to be higher. Overall our games now cost $50-$90++ it will be significantly higher if companies are made to save these games

Ross from Stopkillinggames was speaking at the UN today. You know PirateSoftware is fucking SEETHING right now.

@TracyWesterman Butterfield still amazed when his audience is all flogs.

30 years in parliament and still can’t articulate a coherent policy

@zishen44 Just wait til it’s out and buy it for $20

I was making a game on S&box for about 40 hours, I assumed thats enough but they revoked my access to it while I'm working on animation and models for it. So what do I do? What other engine should I use?

@DrewPavlou It’s phenomenal how little you seem to understand about the disabled community. If it were up to you they’d all be in a 2x2 room with a metal door and bedframe.

NDIS business in Adelaide has a “state of the art podcast studio with 4K cameras and professional microphones” and a top PC gaming center All of this is paid for by the Australian government, this is allegedly helping disabled people
