The Twelve Days of Crunch Time

Dec 23, 2017

Clayton and I did this back in Dec of 2004. Interesting how much hasn’t changed. I might have more “male” spouses now, something about loot crates, and maybe change the last verse to be more “indie”, but it’s shockingly accurate 13 years later.

Mastodon

Dec 22, 2017

You can find me on Mastodon and follow me there, if you want. It’s 100% optional (at least until the GOP 2018 tax bill is in effect).

I’ll give it a few weeks, but I’m not sure it really solves my issues with social media. I guess it depends on how many people use it. Not enough and it’s boring and pointless. Too many and it’s Twitter all over again.

I do think Maston has a huge “on boarding” problem. It’s very confusing and the idea of separate instances just makes it worse. My name (grumpygamer) is only unique on my server, anyone else can create that username on any number of servers and there is no way for you to know.
