    Sure, I'm not someone who is known as a 'personality' for the most part. But essentially by virtue of building a platform, it's fair game for people to make death threats about me on Facebook and they are ignored by moderators? Fucking insanity.

    This piece on on Facebook's internal guidelines for content moderation are incredibly concerning. Even more terrifying for me personally, is that I satisfy the criteria of someone with enough 'online fame' to allow for abuse to continue.

    Hey game dev guys, did you know there is at least one guy like this at every workplace? No exaggeration, almost everywhere I've worked has had someone like this. You can help by stepping in, complaining to HR about them so the woman doesn't have to be the one to rock the boat.

    Sounds like pretty much the exact same thing, but longer, and even more pretentious.

    Still dunno whether I can stomach wasting four hours on this nonsense. So enjoying Rami's Justice League thread.

    It's been a tough year for us all, and like many of you out there, videogames have helped me get through it. In the latest episode of Design Dive, I talk about the games that helped me through COVID lockdowns and share your experiences with us too! LINK:

    So as I shared tomorrow's new episode of Design Dive with some friends and was quick to capture this moment of honesty.

    After a couple weeks off due to work stuff, back streaming Monster Hunter World tonight. Come keep me company as I make a mess of this.

    At a loss for am upbeat message to deliver today. In the same week as International Women's Day and Mother's Day this country has made it abundantly clear the issues women face do not merit consideration. Guys: listen, learn and support where you can. I need more tea...

    Hi academic twitter! What is one thing you wish you were told / you'd like to be told (or told about), before starting an MSc dissertation, or research in more general terms?

    Hi, do not use this applause feature. YouTube takes 30% of what you donate, and 60% if you're on mobile! If you want to donate, look for a Patreon, Ko-Fi, or something similar- more of your money will go to creators. YouTube and Google make more than enough money already.

    Interestingly they're missing X-Men: First Class, Deadpool and Logan. Which is fine, I have them on Blu-Ray but it really skews the good/shit ratio.

    Slowly rewatching all the X-Men films on Disney Plus while working. Now reliving the high and crushing low of watching Days of Future Past followed by Apocalypse. Man for every good X-Men film they delivered an utter shitter. Excited for and dreading Dark Phoenix after this.

    Naturally the same applies to their defence/ignorance of sexual predators, homophobia, transphobia etc. Folk are quick to forget 'the firm' is a business designed to prop a monarchy. The Queen is the manager of a business with a toxic culture and without action, it festers.

    A racist royal family shouldn't be a surprise. But the need to clarify the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh did not make those remarks to Megan Markle is churlish. They are the heads of the royal family. If racism is rife within the ranks, their lack of action condones it.

    As an 80s kid and AI nerd every time I read about Transformers in deep learning my brain confuses the two and I am equal parts intrigued, excited and confused.
