Been waiting for Mastodon.social to open up registrations again, and they just did. So I just signed up. This is me more or less signing off from Twitter. The account will stay open and I'll have a pinned tweet with my new handle at Mastodon.social.

People like Trump and Kanye are the ultimate proof you need, if proof is even needed, that you do not need to be smart, capable, or a good person to become rich or famous. Luck is enough. Don't ever tell me becoming a billionaire is just about hard work.

As a father of two, I can confirm that Steam Deck has been the best (and in many ways only) way for me to game these days. Sleep/Wake is clutch when you have a crying kid with a dirty diaper 😅

I hated Kanye before it was cool. Decades before. I've been saying since this guy rose to fame... He doesn't belong on stage, he belongs in a straitjacket. His ego is larger than the planet, he's stupid, crazy, he thinks he's deep/smart and convinced his fans of that too.

So to everyone finally seeing in 2022, not to say I told you so, but you are seeing what I could see back in 2005. And it drove me figuratively insane watching almost no one else pick up on it.
Twitter has the power to decide things with polls apparently. So. Give me a $1million dollars?

Fantastic execution. Put those checkmarks on steam store pages even if the device I’m browsing on isn’t a steam deck! I wanna see the deck verified status of a game even if I’m browsing on my phone or regular PC!

One more thing - before starting on this video @KaciAitchison storyboarded it out for the team to see. The mock-up is too good not to share, so here it is in all its glory.

Hello, just a reminder that I am not on Discord - that’s fake Lawrence trying to scam you. Valve Employees will never ask you for personal or account information, on Steam or anywhere else. You can safely ignore anyone who claims to have mistakenly reported you.

I don't know, could it have something to do with the fact the last Republican president is still 2 years later denying the last election results? Could it be because republicans being sore losers is extremely predictable?
I still can’t shake this bizarre feeling about Biden’s closing pitch ahead of the midterms. He said there’s going to be election deniers and that you must accept the results. Why would a President say this about a midterm that by all accounts he’s about to get crushed in? Weird.

Happy Halloween! We had pumpkin carving contest at @valvesoftware so of course we had to pull out all the stops on the Steam Deck floor. (it works!)

I hope now after all these large scale data breaches in Australia in these recent times, I won't be called paranoid the next time I express concern over online privacy or being forced to hand over way too much information to corporations or governments.. #auspol

Who am I kidding... I know everyone will have forgotten about these data breaches in 12 months and back to calling people paranoid if they express concerns over privacy in online systems.

Need instant proof that the Steam Deck is amazing? SegaSonic the Hedgehog is probably by far the coolest game I got working because we can utilize the trackpads in place of the track ball and it feels exactly like the actual arcade controls!
🚨NEW VIDEO IS UP🚨 The Steam Deck is a very powerful console. But is it powerful enough to handle EVERY single Sonic game? Well, you'd be surprised. (Link in replies, RTs GREATLY appreciated! 💙)

The mind blowing thing about this is.. this is a Windows game, designed and optimised for Windows.. running on Linux on day 1 of release, about 6-7% faster on Linux. Even with all the graphics API calls being translated to Vulkan on the fly.
youtu.be/nED-mJqMa54 - great showing on Proton+vkd3d+radv's part here!
