@Blizzard_Ent Heroes were "free to play" not "free to buy".

[David Orme @Ormesome]

Apparently @Blizzard_Ent and @BlizzHeroes have a different idea of "free" than the rest of us. When I logged in this morning, the characters were selling at full price. When I logged in this evening they had disabled purchasing of characters altogether.

@Blizzard_ANZ @ACMI When flying became feature, what engine changes took place to allow the massive distances players could now see? What are the design considerations, if any, in map design for restricting view distance?

@erinstellato Instead of dark mode vs light mode we could offer shades of yellow. I saw a nice colour chart earlier in the comments. Analysis Paralysis.

@IroncladDev @ThePrimeagen The rest of the pack are fighting over the language to use and the genre of the game.

@FortniteGame The Zeus skin totally looks like Ulysses 31. #Ulysses31

@FortniteGame Does it start at Dirt League? @vivadirt

I'm looking for a text to image AI that can give a reasonable response to "super mario's cousin, karl the carpenter, in clipart style".

@davidfowl Chrome has been the new IE6 for years - ignoring standards and inventing news ones.

I commented on how badly #fortnite handled this new release, and it was noted that this is a huge success. So many people had problems that we now have scarcity leading to a sense of demand and value. Every log in queue makes us want it more. Well played.

[David Orme @Ormesome]

At least I got to watch the event on my kids device.

[David Orme @Ormesome]

After sitting in a queue for 30 minutes to play #fortnite this morning the launcher failed to load my profile and relaunching put me in a 1 hr queue.

Here's hoping the new #worldofwarcraft currency will be the zorkmid and that we're likely to be eaten by a grue. @Blizzard_Ent

The #ekka2023 app and website are a mess. They needed a UX specialist. The list of events are unordered and most of the locations are not even on the map. A nice table, with locations on one axis and time on the other would have been simple and useful.

@VisualCap I would like to see a similar map of the Big Mac index.

[David Orme @Ormesome]

@erinstellato I love the blue SSMS theme, and really want to use it in Azure and VS Code in general. (not actually a "backup" request).

@Microsoft My sons account was hacked. The hacker changed the username and password. This is a child's account, and he is distressed. Please help me recover the account.

[David Orme @Ormesome]

@Microsoft My sons account was hacked. The hacker changed the username and password, but they are trapped in our Family group. Although I have restricted the accounts spending, there is no way to suspend a members account or halt spending. Why not?

There's a cliche that miniatures painters are bearded white guys in their mums basement. This is clearly untrue. The more successful ones are in their wives basements.
