@merseyflow Called back as they requested to be told (after not being able to recognise the number plate) to call back tomorrow as I was given incorrect information in earlier call. So broken website, broken phone system and apparently broken operators.

[Neil Danson @neildanson]

@merseyflow payment made but no email confirmation and this error page. Have proof of payment from bank. Is this going to give me a headache?

[Neil Danson @neildanson]

@merseyflow They were unable to tell us and the phone system was horribly broken (didn’t recognise keyed in values, spoken registration). Broken website and broken phone system. Short answer - headaches incoming I guess…..

@ANDOWALSHO @SandyofCthulhu Episode 2 was arguably much worse than 1, but the shock factor had gone by then.

@TafferKing451 Dude. As a huge fan of Thief 1 and 2, for me GW is too freaking banana. So many hours spent and trying to play in different ways. Love Gloomwood.

[Neil Danson @neildanson]

@TafferKing451 Played Thief 2 again recently. The bank and police station levels are a masterclass in design. Especially on the hardest difficulty

@Farenain @pikuma Might check that one out! Thanks! For me I wanted to relearn asm by building the compiler but there were definitely frustrations in some of the Frontend design I’d like to see addressed.

@KenneyNL Take my money now

[Neil Danson @neildanson]

@davepl1968 Well I did pay for it. So surely it’s mine and they shouldn’t shovel adds and ai into it without my permission?

[Neil Danson @neildanson]

@dustedcodes Hard agree, but also things like Java spring boot which is equally fragile and arguably more “magic” or even rust macros. Explicit > implicit every day of the week especially when it comes to maintenance

@games_rozz @games_rozz been a follower a while and bought on 1st day of early access. Not played for a while in anticipation of all the things I see on here. What you have built is spectacular and you can feel all the hard work that has gone into to this labour of love. Kudos!

@RetroMoviesDB Does that “Crystal Skull Vodka” ad count?

[Neil Danson @neildanson]

@omicblues @RetroMoviesDB Correct answer!

@nkanauzu @Dave_DotNet Untrue. I’ve spent 15 years being paid to write F# across multiple companies.

We had this in the 80s in the form of a c64 or Amiga 🤫

@cmuratori @mayank_jee @Wassimulator Imagine a computer that you switch on, and it boots up near instantly, and you can just get on and do what you want without tending to its needs.

Strange thing is, smartphones seem to have achieved this.
