@hthieblot ET Planet - "The Coolest Site on the Planet" etplanet.com from the early 2000s

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about?

@Tristanrhee3 Valve

Name a tech company that nobody hates in 2026

@KurohKujou If it doesn't hurt in the nose, then it's not strong enough. You can get still water from the tap.

WHY IS GERMANY SO OBSESSED WITH SPARKLING WATER???? I JUST WANT TO QUENCH MY THIRST NOT STAB MYSELF IN THE THROAT WITH MICRO NEEDLES

@kingwest0219 I'm so glad that Twitter has this translation feature. Otherwise I would have missed that gem.

Anyone who used a computer between 1985-2010. What’s the one game you still think about?

@pelinylm06 Why do you have two different looking/sized left hands?

@jdpoc Swiss flag shown, Swiss mentioned multiple times. Yeah it’s probably German.

German TV : Brilliant TV Commercial.

@19Kylling @Dealo_RU Die sind teilweise schon bestrichen 😂

@Dealo_RU Wenn man die Brezeln mit Butter bestreichen will, ist das exakt richtig so.

„Warum will keiner mehr ne Ausbildung machen?“

An Austrian Tongue Choir from the Alps region of Tyrol sings ‘Moscow Nights’ with their tongue in a 1982 performance. If not for the Internet, we’d never know music videos like this existed.

First game that comes to mind when you see this?

@catalinmpit 👋

I'll create a list of EU people that work in tech. If you want to be added, reply.

@samsheffer Gives off Star Wars re-release vibes

i don’t think you understand how insane omni is

@MarioNawfal Aren't humans trained on data sets?

The CEO of Take-Two, the company behind GTA, just said something the entire AI industry doesn't want to hear. And he said it without being anti-AI. Strauss Zelnick's argument is precise. AI is built on datasets. Datasets are backward-looking. Creativity is forward-looking. A model trained on everything that already exists cannot, by definition, produce something genuinely unexpected. And all hits, by their very nature, are unexpected. Asset creation and hit creation are not the same thing. AI is getting very good at the first one. The second one is what actually makes money, builds franchises, and changes culture. Nobody has shown AI can do that yet. The derivative property problem is real. You can clone GTA with existing technology. You could do it before AI. It would take 3 years and look identical. It still wouldn't sell. Because it isn't GTA. It's a clone of GTA. And consumers, despite what the industry occasionally pretends, can feel the difference between something genuinely new and something assembled from the residue of things that already worked. Thousands of mobile games ship every year. 0 to 5 hits get made. The same studios make them every time. The technology to make more games has been commoditized for years. It didn't democratize hit creation. It just flooded the market with more forgettable product. The Silicon Valley thesis that AI unlocks game creation for everyone is true in the same way that cheap cameras unlocked filmmaking for everyone. They did. And the same 5 studios still make the movies everyone watches. What Zelnick is saying, without quite saying it, is that the thing AI cannot replicate is taste. The instinct for what hasn't been done yet. The cultural antenna that detects the gap in the market before the data can see it. Data tells you what people wanted. Hits tell people what they want next. Those are different jobs.

@pmamtraveller They tried GLS (Germany) and Hermes (Germany) but the packages never arrived.

@TheGameVerse StarCraft: Ghost

Name a cancelled video game you would revive if you got the chance.

@OmarMcAdam Right after 9:05pm the response time was at around 500ms. 0.9 would show a higher floor value.

@maccosmo Why not 0.9?

Friend gave me access to his app, it was REALLY slow I changed 1 thing, response times cut by 90% What do you think it was?

@SandyofCthulhu Steam's biggest advantage is that it's not run like a normal corporation. The obvious succession structure is something like a German Stiftung: a steward-owned Valve that can't be strip-mined after Gabe Newell is gone. ZEISS, Bosch, Rolex proved this can work for generations.

Gabe Newell owns the majority share in Steam. Now, I know Newell somewhat. We've met. We've talked. He's not a close friend by any means. But it is by his will and genius that Steam is the way it is - a triumph of good guy capitalism. A great site for finding games, with cheap prices, frequent sales. Well ... I don't need to praise it here. You guys all know about it. When Newell passes away, it's unclear what will happen with Steam. Doubtless his shares will go to his family. Will they continue his vision? Or will they sell out to one of the many circling sharks who have been trying to buy it for years? What will happen if the sharks DO get their teeth into Steam? I believe that in that case Steam will go to hell in a handbasket. Owned by men in suits who don't give a sh*t about quality or the consumer. Probably it will become a subscription service or worse. If it gets sold to a horror show like Electronic Arts or Disney it'll be a nightmare. The only mitigating feature is that a different service might arise, but it will need to fight the rotting lumbering corpse of Steam to establish itself. I am content that since I am several years older than Gabe, it is plausible that I won't live to see this terrible day. But you might. Gabe Newell, to me, is literally barring the gates to Hell for us all.
