Twitter couldn't even handle a Nintendo direct

Twitter effortlessly avoided the World Cup's threatened crippling disaster only to faceplant the company out of existence from the mild strain caused by a Nintendo Direct.

He will ban mentioning Discord soon.

I find it killed wikis more, small games are all "go to our discord!" Instead of a nice wiki that's updated it's some protected google doc that the author quit the game months ago and it's out of date but everyone still tells you to check it instead of helping you and calls you dumb for not checking the pin. Then when you tell them its outdated they suggest you update it then. Great community you are building so much better than a wiki.

These are games that 5 years ago would have been too small to even have a reddit maybe a single post on a wider niche game reddit. But it would certainly have had a wiki.

God do I miss game wikis.

Yeah I play fighting games and not only have the wikis been replaced by discords, they're all character specific. So if you play a game with a roster of 18 characters there are 18 different discords to join, and its rare that there is a curated/organized wiki style resource, its usually a bunch of people whining about game balance in a chat room

quote:

SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service, which has provided Ukraine's military with broadband communications in its defense against Russia's military, was "never never meant to be weaponized," Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX's president and chief operating officer, said during a conference in Washington, D.C.

"There are things that we can do to limit their ability to do that," she said, referring to Starlink's use with drones. "There are things that we can do, and have done."

Pretty sure that twitter limitations tweet is fake or based on bullshit that some rando said. Not to say they won't still do something like that but I don't think 20 tweets per day is it.

I think it's entirely believable.

It's crystal clear that musk wants the free tier of twitter to become equivalent to a trial: something you use to determine whether or not the platform is for you, but that you either convert to a paying account or go away and stop draining compute and bandwidth. He does not want non-paying users to stick around. 20 tweets per day fits perfectly within that framework.

Discord functionality itself is good. The practice of subbing out forums for discords is a loving blight that is ruining information access everywhere but that's not discords fault itself.

They absolutely could make the content searchable by the web at large, but they want it to be a walled garden.

Oh, gods. It's one thing to know he bought the company to feel popular and make people look at his tweets, but it's another to have it so openly exposed by literally firing a guy that pointed out the spike in interest in him was dying.

I mean it is entirely believable but that specific tweet that's being passed around is referencing something that somebody said as a "not official" joke/guess and gained traction as a "this is really happening" thing. Maybe THIS tweet I found from a rando is bullshit too though :tinfoil:

But seriously, imagine studying this poo poo through school for years, working in the field, and building yourself up to working at a big old company. Then some doofus buys it, fires all the friends you worked with and/or they quit, makes you build stuff with no notice and no time for even basic testing like will this make the app cease to work, and then finally reduces you to looking at Google analytics on how popular he is(n't).

I'd be so depressed I might actually be happy to get fired.
