Leaving this platform - see pinned post

Why I'm exiting Twitter: I can't ethically support this platform. Where you can find me: - Mastodon: @Elleon_Sound" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.gamedev.place/web/@Elleon_So… - Cohost: cohost.org/Elleon-Sound - AirWiggles: airwiggles.com/member/nhEzxAc… - Discord: #9319" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">discordapp.com/users/whisgo#9…

With a heavy heart, I must announce that HakJak Studios is being shut down by our parent company and the fate of Pigeon Simulator is unknown😭 hakjak.com/blog/2023/12/8…

Okay look I know I said I left, but I'm too hyped not to repost our trailer! I'm so proud to be apart of the @HakJak Team and bringing #GameAudio to #PigeonSimulator

@TwitterSupport Can't believe I logged back in just to reply to this bs

@soundkitties I decided to land on mastodon.gamedev.place think of that as a home instance - but you can still access and follow people on other instances.

@JayMFernandes airwiggles.com

@JayMFernandes OH did you see the air wiggles game audio one?

@JayMFernandes I'm not entirely sure... Welp I just signed up to Mastodon and now Cohost.

@incognito_nunya I've seen folks bring up Mastodon and Cohost

@JayMFernandes I saw some of my fav science accounts move to Mastodon

@stevenspohn I can't ethically support the exploitive and outright sociopathic labor conditions he's placed on the employees. So I'll have to follow you over at YT instead. 💗

@stevenspohn I know I don't engage very often, but I also feel like I can't allow a single platform to dictate where I choose to engage. And remember we're nothing more than revenu regardless of subscriptions. A page view and click here or there... Data info value.

🧵 clarifies a lot of my thoughts on Twitter. I am *not* leaving. BUT the reason I'm staying is that there's no alternative. Nowhere else offers what Twitter does. My trust *is* broken. I am angry but sunk-cost keeps me here, which is very different than staying because I want to

@christheFER I just sent you a request on FB so that works!

@christheFER linked in? slack or discord... I'm considering deactivating either this weekend or next.

In the event of a mass exodus from Twitter, how’s everyone planning to keep in touch? Is it time to bust out the Rolodex?

not sure how much longer I'll be on twitter... news.yahoo.com/twitter-staff-… This is some serious bullshit if true... but it lines up with stories I've heard from space X former employees. I can't support this bullshit by being here to generate money from ad revs.

@MarcStraight Yeees welcome to the world of international phonetic alphabet!

@MarcStraight /ˈzibrə/ is the standard American pronunciation. /ˈzɛbɹə/ is more common in UK pronunciations.

@AvidProTools I get that you may not be supporting PT10 but the least you could do is update the installer or put a warning that it includes bad drivers that will BDOS your system due to the tpdk.sys file.

TIL I hate win 11. Can't move my task bar to where I want without a 3rd party app. Accidentally installed an old corrupted ilock driver when installing protools. Caused a BDSO... Couldn't locate the file, couldn't boot into safe mode... Had to use a boot of linux to fix it.
