I remember when ai was just shorthand for enemy/npc behaviour. #fuckAI
I'm selling all my PKD books, because I need the cash, badly.

Got me a digital radio (dab+), a beer glass in the style I've wanted since forever, a clone nes pad for science/take apart reasons and a neat little arcade stick, even though I greatly dislike bat-top sticks
Is there a decent machine translation system that isn't slopped up to the gills?

Dammit. I had some great ideas and the second I picked up my pencil to write them down, I had forgotten them completely.
More megacorps are putting satellites in our gorgeous night sky. Fucking corpos. Smash the bastards!
How many days has it been since classified info has been leaked on one of those tank game forums?
Edited to note "or best* offer" as I'd like to be able to afford food, sooner rather than later.
*best reasonable offer
i've updated the post a little to add tags, though I don't know if that means it'll show up in those hashtag feeds

Hi there #pride
I'm thinking of putting up action parrot, source, gfxs and all up for free in its unfinished state on itch.io, I like the idea but I don't think I'm the right person to make it
Hard disk in my xbone hard failed, or so I thought. Doing a deep hd test now and it's passing all green so far.
Replaced it anyway, prepping the offline updater for the new disk

Ooh, I guess I got the spacer's choice version of outer worlds 1 at some point on gog. I wonder when because I didn't buy it. Must have been a promotion of some sort?
Gigabit internets finally installed
Internet day was cancelled because the engineer couldn't get on to the wall safely to do any work

@jess@blop.social yeah, I can manage Leeds, but I'm away for a week to see the mrs, so when I'm back perhaps?

@TheMightyGit@mstdn.social it's due some more modding, I'm going to fully disassemble it and see what I'm working with first
I am still on a train. After a long wait on a bridge, we are once again moving

If this had been my only computer (it's not by a long shot) I'd have been fucked
I am on a train. I just heard a really loud fart. Fortunately not a stinker.
Through a bit of hustle I am going to see my partner for a few days

@jess@blop.social was that the one with sonja headlining the stage? I remember going to that one, and ending up in jacobs(as is default for me out in Bradford these days)
(Flea, my Beloved) not gonna lie, I really enjoy bezzing about in #StarFear - even if it does kick my arse something rotten. It's tough, but it has a good "easy mode" that gets you used to things without being quite so punishing to start off.
And that's credits on Red Faction Armageddon. I've run out of stuff I want to play again :o
I've found that mastodon is great for getting things on the eyes of communities that are best to see them with ye olde hashtags, fun times :D
unicorn fart laser go!

@TheMightyGit@mstdn.social they're quite cheap if you're looking, "dobe 7-in-1 arcade fighting stick" seems to be the magic word, about 14-15 quid on aliexpress et al but I imagine it'll be more than that after postage and customs
Replying to
@jess@blop.social I've found since I moved away I go to three places: forster square train station, bradford interchange and jacobs well pub, which is the only reason to go into Bradford if I'm not travelling somewhere via
The Bureau: XCOM Declassified continues to be broken, it crashes consistently now, so I am once again abandoning that play-through
it's pissing it down outside, my morning coffee was ruined by lumpy milk (that was in fucking date ffs)
I really hope the internet man brings what he actually needs to fit my internet today. My data can only last so long :/

Looking at it as best I can, I think it's a green lacewing?
Was there ever an officially made quake 3 rocket launcher keyring?
I kinda want one, but only if there was an official offering, I've seen the endless 3d printed ones and they look dire.
Met a friend who brought their amstrads over and now I have a Rombo VIDI for amstrad
