My installation of Visual Studio appears to have gone completely rogue. Nothing compiles any more, everything is broken with warnings everywhere and autocomplete is borked.. a repair didn't fix it, so I'm uninstalling the whole monstrous behemoth and starting again. I've barely used it for a good few months, so I have no idea what happened to it..!

@psychicparrot42 probably windows happened to it

@ethanschoonover I have a link to one of your Tweets where you recommended a book series on 'rich urban world building', but the Tweet is gone and I haven't written down the actual book names anywhere
https://twitter.com/ethanschoonover/status/1481043810943602689

Do you have any recollection what that might've been?

Just saw a headline about Hashro trying to break into games, what year is it?

Also, pretty sure Hasbro already make and sell a few games, might be wrong about that mind you.

@psychicparrot42 right? I have too, so once again left baffled by the games industry news cycle. Maybe I have been out of it too long!

@CatherineFlick Those look delicious, although I admit I misread your post first time around, and wondered what a "wild scone" was...

Anxiously waiting for a domain registration to drop. It’s been sat on by squatters for 5 years, and it expired 2 days ago. I’ll be gutted if some other squatter grabs it first.

"There's this fear that exists—if we don't have everybody working overtime and we don't make AAA games that have $200 million budgets and the focus is on photorealistic graphics and 1,000-hour playtimes, [...] and that's the only way to make games."

@djlink similar was heard 20+ years ago (smaller budgets and playtimes), but same reasoning. It just keeps escalating.

Doing my bit for print today. Amazing that Retro Gamer has been going for 20 years now. Hoping to get my byline back into its pages again this year too.

@dwlt@mastodon.me.uk avatar

@craiggrannell my biggest problem is that I can’t get around games like Fable (which only came out a couple of years ago, surely?) being categorised as retro. Great mag though!

If you are press looking to learn more about our releases, or if you are a dev looking for a publisher that can do physical - you are welcome to reach out

Even if you are not going to GDC :p

@sayomgwtf deck commander looks interesting, was unaware of it!

@dwlt@mastodon.me.uk avatar

@sayomgwtf Thanks, will keep an eye on it! I was recently playing the old MB Defender board game (and others), always intrigued by these interpretations! I never got round to trying out Missile Cards on iOS though, now it seems to be unavailable for newer devices 😬

    @k all time classic. One of my (few) memorable moments at an E3 was watching the video of that on the Sega stand just after the announced it. Just burst out laughing :-D

    New keycap day! I needed to clean my DSA Milkshake set so I decided I'd finally swap them out for the ePBT Dreamscape set that this keyboard was made for. It's adorable 😍

    @sophie I do like the keyboard, but also what is the lamp? Thanks!

    @sophie by which I mean, I understand the purpose, and would like to buy one since I need one 🤦‍♂️

    I was just going through my screenshots and remembered I'd taken this when looking up a recipe over Christmas.

    Choose from "silver", "gold", or "platinum" data access levels, where platinum is the most invasive. And the whole thing just adds so much unnecessary cognitive load.

    Seeing people post pictures of their thanksgiving meals is for some reason reminding me of when everyone had a chip pan in their house. And no ventilation. And everyone smoked like chimneys, and all the furniture and fabrics were highly flammable lol how is anyone still alive.

    @sue was there not an advert for that as well? Am amazed any of us are still here tbqh

    @sue that’s the one! Fair takes me back - actually now I’m remembering that my wee brother tipped the chip pan onto the kitchen floor one day (it wasn’t on fire, thankfully)
