It was this exact phone that got me into coding. I started off with WML (the WAP compatible cousin of HTML) because I thought it would be so cool to have a gaming news site which worked on mobile.

The site is completely lost to time but I still have some of the articles which were written for it!

Sounds like a fun idea for a game jam, actually. You can only use if statements ๐Ÿ˜‚

It was text based at first? Wow, itโ€™s come a long way!

The silly way theyโ€™ve implemented this means I can still DM you, but you presumably wonโ€™t ever see it.

Do you see the settings to turn them off?

The mag I've been working on, @debug.plus, is out. It's free, full of #indiedev insight, and I think quite good. Check it out so I can do another one.

I did say I was feeling disruptive earlier this yearโ€ฆ I dare say this might be one of the best deals youโ€™ll have ever seen

I love going to video game industry trade shows, and really wish there were more of them!

Absolutely devastated I never got to see what E3 was like in its prime

I had an issue on Twitter years ago where I accidentally blocked the word โ€œtrumpetโ€

Iโ€™m glad they used such an uncommon word, because it makes filtering so much easier!

I also know how to spell bruschetta ๐Ÿ˜Ž

I used to work at a company with lots of Italians, and they were all completely horrified when I told them about the dish ๐Ÿ˜„

Hear me out. Chicken lasagne.

Sainsburyโ€™s used to sell them, and they were a guilty pleasure for me in my 20sโ€ฆ Until they were discontinued.

Found out that ICA in Sweden sells them. Tastes almost identical.

Now you know one of the several reasons I visit Sweden.

โ€œHR is working directly with impacted employees to provide severance plan benefits (aligned with local laws)โ€

I.e., theyโ€™re get the legal minimum

There honestly should be laws against acquiring so many companies, only to completely destroy them.

Some sort of anti-monopoly commission or something ๐Ÿค”
