god going from multiple feeds that have like 8-10 posts each that are separated by accounts /interests/purposes to just one feed that fits like sorta 3 posts-ish at once because i used an extension to make everything as small as possible on my 1440p screen fucking sucks so fucking much

i said it in reply to a friend yesterday but this truly feels like the worst breakup i've ever been through. it's so hard to let go. i spent like 14 years of my life there, man ! it feels like i'm packing my shit but doing it one box every day because it's so grueling to think about leaving in the first place.

i want to be upset at people going to places like Bluesky or whatever but i can't. i get it. if they can manage it, that's fine. if they think that place is better than that's on them to deal with the eventual blowback. i'm just sad that like, the way i took in the world for a third of my life is essentially over because now it's broken apart across multiple websites in a way that isn't good and extremely inconvenient.

It's so stylish. Crazy sick blend of EV aero accomodations and the more classic Datsun Z look. The front of it makes me think a lot of like, what if TVRs looked cool.

Article about it here.

No anons for now, but if you wanna talk shop about game translation or dating sims or whatever, the ol' inbox is open! Just know that if I don't answer your question, please don't ask why, it's probably nothing personal. Translation/localization stuff in particular can be subject to NDAs, even on games I'm publicly credited on, so I have to be careful how I navigate work talk online. I'll do my best to answer as much as I can regardless, but if I don't, it may very well be for reasons that are beyond my control, whether they're publicly known or not. Anything else, all good on that front!

At any rate, I'll try to remember to tag 'em all as #tom talks and any other related tags for archival purposes, but otherwise, hit me with what you've got! It's been years since I've done this sort of thing, let's do this. 😌

happy wednesday! despite it being a short week, we’ve got a good amount of stuff for you today.

first off, as the title suggests, 100% of you should now have access to asks. check your project settings page to enable them!

let’s see the rest:

• added a new profile link privacy setting: “pages following you”
  • this is especially useful for private pages. since users already need approval to follow you, this lets you share contact info without needing to follow back.
  • it’s probably somewhat useful for public pages too but that’s not what it’s Built For
• we now show all tags in a share tree, rather than just showing the tags from the most recent share. all tags now live with the post they are attached to!
• you can no longer block yourself
