@mrjamesob.bsky.social In case you missed it, James, Code is Just is now available in a nicely compiled PDF and ePub, and you can get it for free. Much easier to read than on Twitter, and more complete. 1720541891659.gumroad.com/l/qkali

If you can run any program you want on it, it’s a computer. If you’re prevented from doing so, it’s a console. 💻 Computers: PC 💻 Mac 💻 Android phone 💻 🎮 Consoles: PS5 🎮 iPhone 🎮 iPad 🎮 I’m not making a value judgment here, I just think it’s important to make the distinction.

Another fabulous Treyarch update. It takes the trouble to delete a game I’ve paid for and am still playing, in preparation for a different game I paid for in advance, but can’t play yet.

Four taps (some longer than others) now required to remove an app from the home screen on an iPad. Something has gone very wrong here.

Have a great Friday by getting yourself a copy of the compiled edition of Code is Just — Many people called it the best ever thread on that other place. Price not an obstacle. Please share to get the word out not just to those who awaited this compilation, but to those who haven’t read the original.

40 years after the original, I've been working on Chimera 2. I'm learning a lot about just how much graphics have changed since 1985 and it makes for some fascinating possibilities. Can't wait to share it with you, shouldn't be too long before you start to see stuff.

This is funny

I've *never* been comfortable with products using 'collaborator' It just has strong WW2 vibes for me.

This is how you use Atlas.

This evening, I released a beta port of Superpowers and a Claude-style skills system for OpenAI's Codex CLI. blog.fsck.com/2025/10/27/s...

It’s Friday. Treat yourself. Code is Just, and so is the price!

Over the last few months I’ve applied for several jobs, and have been turned down from every one, including one you’d be surprised about. I could just think it’s my age (60 soon), but I think it’s a sign I’m not meant to be in a job. I’ve never regretted putting my trust in God’s provision or decree

If you remember the original Twitter threads, or if you have any interest at all in the 1980s computer game industry in the UK, you owe it to yourself to get this. And if you can afford it, sling Shahid a few bob for his trouble!

It's fair to say that you don't see these too often. A WORKING Sinclair watch.

One of the greatest threads of all time is now available in one file for your reading pleasure, do yourself a huge favour and dive in:

@mrjamesob.bsky.social It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since our faces were on that huge IMAX screen eulogising the Speccy! I finally got around to compiling all three seasons of Code is Just with footnotes and corrections into a book. I’d be honoured if you’d share. bsky.app/profile/danc...

Code is Just, all three seasons, as heavily requested, is finally out in a compiled PDF and ePub for easy reading. Price is whatever is reasonable for you, including zero. 1720541891659.gumroad.com/l/qkali

I’m back on here again after a few months, anyone else here?

I hope you all enjoyed International Motörhead Day. The 8th of May! The 8th of May! (I tell this joke every year because it’s my joke)

I realise I’m not the first person to have said this, but what is Seth Rogen doing in Black Ops 6? In two events? I have heard the name, but have no idea who he actually is or what he does. He isn’t funny though, and if I wanted weed references everywhere I likely wouldn’t play Black Ops 6.

Talking of producers, if you know someone who needs a producer who understands dev and pub, and they need one today, please do point them in my direction. I can do a lot more of course and would be happy to do so.

I successfully did a round 41 exfil in Black Ops 6 zombies and at Prestige Master 725, I think I can safely say I’ve got over my n00b hangups and entered the realm of nonsuckery.

I unlocked the nail gun in the Black Ops 6 event yesterday, and I’ve already achieved the mastery badge, got over 5,000 elims with it and got the Nebula camo in it. My son told me I need to touch grass. So I did. It’s so broken I was able to survive until round 36 and exfil safely. It”s superb.

I miss cloth maps and keyboard overlays.

I’ve deleted the other thing and don’t miss it.

Eid Mubarak to those celebrating today

Going through the project files for Floor 13:DS for my folio; had completely forgotten about this XD @erlendgrefsrud.bsky.social @eastmad.bsky.social @dancingmonkeys.net

The Bullet map that’s part of the Season 2 Reloaded update for Black Ops 6 is as stupid and pointless as many said it would be. A real shame as I was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. With just two lanes (inside the train and on its roof) there’s no way around or through. Pointless.

10 hour estimate for updating Black Ops 6 (I’m about 5 hours in and it reckons another 5 hours, though it has gone slower) In an era of high speed internet and suspend mode updates, WTF is this shit?

The first post I’ve written in quite a while. If you like this kind of thing, please do subscribe.

I can't believe one of the best cinemas in London, and possibly the country, is under threat of closure. If this actually comes to pass, it'll be an utter disgrace for London

It is done. Black Ops 6 Prestige Master.

I’m at @pgconnects.bsky.social today. If you see me, please say hi!

Prestige 9 on Black Ops 6, gotta make Prestige Master before the Double XP is over.. yet I’m still getting absolutely *smashed* by kids on a regular basis. On a good day; I’m doing some smashing of my own. Whatever you say about the SBMM, it certainly keeps the engagement high!

I’ve unlocked all diamond camos for the AR and LMG classes in Black Ops 6. I’ve completed every daily challenge since I started playing. I’m Prestige 7. I completed the Battle Pass weeks ago and the Squid Game event within 24 hours. It’s fair to say that I like this game. A lot.

I linked my PlayStation and Xbox accounts to the Activision account with the most progress. I’d got bundles for each, but expected o ly to keep the Xbox stuff. Except it shows up and won’t let me equip. Also, my loadouts are corrupted even after deletion and recreation. any ideas?

Black Ops 6 is so damn good, I’ve spent an unreasonable amount of time on it. I’m at Prestige 5 and I’m playing it on Xbox Series X, PC *and* PS5. It might just have leapt to number 1 in my all time favourite video games and I say this quite aware of its numerous flaws.

You’re still arguing about tabs vs. spaces? May I present…

I have just entered Prestige 3 in Black Ops 6. I completed the Season 01 Battle Pass days ago, weeks before the end of the season and the Christmas challenge about 10 days before that ends. It’s fair to say that I’m a little bit obsessed.

The weirdest thing happened yesterday, the random skill based match making and seeming real-time nerfing seemed to have left Black Ops 6. I say this because I had a couple of games where I absolutely battered the opposition, barely died and got my first helicopter score streak.

As a kid, I loved the idea of a golden gun, thanks to the Bond movie. With the camo challenge in Black Ops 6, I finally have one.

If you think life is unfair, wait till you play Black Ops 6…
