>good luck with your gamedev stuff by the way, I know it's something you're passionate about.
Thanks. I made a bunch of games back in high school (even though they really aren't good) but I had no time during college. I don't know how much time I would have in the future. Probably could just devote my weekends to it.
@TheConversationUS @issdeinschnitzel Hi @TheConversationUS
I’m following up on the report you forwarded to my server.
You are right that this is not Twitter; things are different here. And that’s why I’m telling you today to go fuck yourself.
I don’t know who you are or what this is about, but you should know better as a nonprofit to not make useless reports and waste people’s time. Please make use of the BLOCK and MUTE buttons at your disposal.

@Indigo I pretty much have the same goals. Except I also have gamedev goals (especially since I switched from C#/MonoGame to C++/SFML) and I would like to try to be more self-sufficient as possible. My parents said that I can still use their backyard to grow food. And I want to support local businesses as much as possible. The fact that I got to know local farmers this year was a huge plus in my book.

This is a great story of how Barnes & Noble’s new CEO who was hired in 2019 has turned around the company. Sales are up, it opened 16 stores this year and plans to open more next year.
The secret is the CEO really likes books and readers. So he stopped doing deals with publishers to promote their latest books & NYT best sellers and encouraged individual stores to promote books they found most interesting.
So simple yet…

@ArdainianRight I didn't experience either one of them.
@Moon Probably yes. He has some cancer that's killing his immune system and doctors don't know what to do.

@opal All these bitcoin fanatics still haven't heard of Monero and it bothers me.
