@eniko happy birthday!!! 🎁🎉🎂🎈

@eniko Happy birthday!!! We are super looking forward to finally playing Kitsune Tails! I hope you and your team are having a good one 🎂 🎉 🎁

@eniko Happy birthday! I'm very looking forward to Kitsune Tails, I quite enjoy following your updates on the game :tuturu:

@eniko Really good to know, thanks for sharing :D

@eniko oh super interesting!

im honestly baffled this is not more well advertised. especially for people in conflict with an EU govt about their rights as an EU citizen, SOLVIT seems to make the problems just evaporate once they get into it

@eniko better yet, you can set up your own tiny instance for you and people you care about. No geekery required thanks to folks like masto.host

It’s lovely to be able to defederate from and source of vileness without having to ask an admin and hope they agree.

@eniko@peoplemaking.games I ended up going more than a bit back to Tumblr because if folks fleeing Twitter to go there, but I had already been trying to spend more time here even then. It's gonna hurt to lose my contacts again as they pick Cohost or Bluesky and I just give up on following them there.

@eniko regarding the "shit will go down on fedi", I really wish people would fully understand that the fediverse is not a monolithic social network like the other mainstream ones

@eniko@peoplemaking.games Not even sure if I see what on earth Wikipedia has got to do with this 😅 I'm pretty sure stealing is considered an issue outside of Wikipedia as well 🤔
I wonder if he'd use the same argument if he got caught shoplifting haha

@eniko

> *googles* oh it looks like the latest news is he's moved on to scamming people in the web3 crypto games space

I'm not at all surprised that that kind if guy got into web3, but didn't he get the memo? NFTs are dead AI is the new hotness. I am actually surprised that he's not using MidJourney and calling himself an artist though. Same type of person: lazy, entitled, and utterly narcissistic.

@eniko this isn’t wikipedia, Eni

@eniko just got around to ultra hat dimension and it’s pretty awesome 😁

The youngest kid watches me play just for the sounds

@eniko question that you may or may not want to answer: if I buy on Itch, does it cost you money if/when I redeem on Steam?

@eniko Haha. Super Bernie World! Amazing!

@eniko but orthogonality implies being completely different than the other axes. 👀

@eniko there’s so much more vectors you could be than normals

@eniko But if your unit of length is the 'Eniko', then you'll be fine.

@eniko look at those pink beans

@eniko 😀👍

@eniko She's purrfect!

@eniko I just make music and sound effects but whatever I want to find people

Idk man I thought they had an uphill battle trying to run a business that is both sustainable and ethical under late stage capitalism too but I don't think it's right to mock them for trying and misrepresent the reality of their financials while doing so

@eniko

and now it's stuck in my head.

@eniko
is there a pun here

@eniko Depending on its value, it may completely overshadow the short skirt, defeating the point...

@eniko also, people don't need to quit Twitter “cold turkey”: they can start setting up their presence elsewhere while still holding their place there, so it doesn't even have to be as dramatic as some people try to paint it. And the sooner the start, the earlier they'll have a decent following elsewhere and realize that Twitter didn't have to be the be-all-end-all of their network.

@eniko It's so low effort as well - all you have to do is have an account and copy-paste your tweets if people are still really attached to Twitter. Heck if their income depends on it, it's an easy way to increase reach.

But people aren't doing it and I think a part of it is the Ostrich Effect. It's too much to face the possibility that Twitter might end up dying. Too scary. So rather than prepare, the brain shuts down and pretends it's not happening.

@eniko it would seem that the corollary to that headline is 30% of doctors have been negatively impacted by Covid misinformation

@eniko would be cool if someone built a tool to search for accounts that stopped posting in the last 6 months and then showed you the final tweets from those accounts.

@eniko the internet does a great job of highlighting the futility of symbolic protest when the people your message is directed at aren't even aware of your existence, definitely aren't listening, and will probably find a way to break your plugin.

@eniko Amateurs, I hide all tweets by not being there.

Yes I miss a few things (pretty much just info posting), but I rather err on the side of not dealing with twatter.

Anyway it's funny people think I'm some big time successful indie dev. Well folks this is what being a hotshot indie dev looks like, not being able to run your heat so your money will last until your next game comes out. Living the dream

Still a lot better than working an office or service industry job during a plague though

@eniko oh yeah I had to deal with this a couple jobs ago - was writing a mobile GPU device driver and was trying to use the texture unit to accelerate vertex/index buffer copies (since the built-in memcpy on the chip was shit for perf) and had to deal with how the "textures" (basically reinterpret-casted vertex buffers) were being interpreted in that space for the copying

good times
