You should have moved onto the next one. Marketing a failed game for a year is crazy work. Most games fail. Buy as many lottery tickets as you can. The decision space is too complex to nail down a formula. It's mostly luck. See my post here: xitter.cf/SyntheticBeef/status/2…
To anyone planning to build games in 2027: Don’t. We’re still trying to market the ones we built in 2025.

this tweet is the ultimate ball knowledge display btw
Replying to @willcb
the joke, of course, is that "knowing ball" / "ball knower" as applied to arbitrary domains coins "ball" as a generic object of knowledge which is deeper and more mechanistic and less fact-localized than belief (closer to "understanding"), bypassing the gettier luck problem

Starlink coming to EasyJet
easyJet has just announced that it will be installing SpaceX's @Starlink on its fleet. Installations will start in first half of 2027 across the airline’s modern A320, A320neo and A321neo fleet, with the rollout expected to be completed by early 2028. "easyJet’s investment in onboard connectivity is a key step in further enhancing the experience for 100 million passengers who already choose to fly with the airline each year." easyJet CEO Kenton Jarvis: “Innovation is in easyJet’s DNA and partnering with SpaceX to bring Starlink’s high-speed internet connectivity onboard for the first time will not only further enhance the experience we provide millions of customers, but means we are offering more of the options both business and leisure travellers want when they choose who they fly with. Giving customers the opportunity to get online in the air will mean even greater choice and convenience when you fly with easyJet."

this guy's feed is a steady stream of personal catastrophes for those without eyes to read :P
Tuning car damage today. One hit at about 43 mph = roughly a quarter of the car's health gone. About 15 pistol rounds = smoking wreck. Small drivable city, and it keeps growing. Solo UE 5.8 dev on a 2018 GTX 1060 laptop.

Magnus Carlsen, in the year of his Linares debut: 2007. He tied for second place with 7½/14 (+4 −3 =7), defeating Vishy Anand, Veselin Topalov, Vasyl Ivanchuk (twice), and Alexander Morozevich along the way. He also played some tennis and football – scoring two goals right between my legs while I played as goalkeeper 😅

"Positive energy by the gigawatt" 😂 I'm happy to be of service. We need more positivity in tech, and I'm atoning for my own history of providing too much of the opposite. Computers are amazing. AI is amazing. LIFE IS AMAZING!

Energizer bunny! Your effectiveness as an ambassador and communicator is off the charts. You are truly an extraordinary high functioning human being. You emit positive energy by the gigawatt.

Revolut has 75 investors who put in $1,857,816,794 over 24 rounds (Crunchbase, today). 2016 Balderton takes a board seat, 2017 Index the second, somewhere in between an investor asks him to fire his best person for being "too hardcore", and in February 2020 both seats go to independents on the same day. He kept the person. Nine directors today, none of them from the 75.
Revolut founder Nik Storonsky says one of his investors tried forcing him to fire his best person: “He was forcing me to fire my best person, because he was too hardcore.” “Of course I didn’t fire him. I said no.” “Pretty early on I realized that quite a few VCs, they are not very operational, and they can be actually dangerous for the company if they have enough power. So every single investment round, we just remove VCs.” “Now I don't have any VCs on the board. I think that's the best. You always need to have operators rather than VCs on the board, people who actually build business and who know how to do things.”

ok switching to 3rd-person view in my fighter jet sim feels so good. i’ve been obsessing over the outside of the jets recently. vapor trails pouring off the wings, afterburner glow on full throttle, the little details you’d only notice up close. now you can just hit Tab and see it all. viperoneone.com
