@NASA my son would like to know:

"What is fastest a rocket has ever travelled, also where i live it's going to be 11:30pm to 1:30am and i get to stay up till 12:00pm yay!"

[Simon Jefford @simonj]

@sirdoom34 @GameStop @gameinformer Couldn’t agree more. What a scummy move.

@ATVIAssist Because of course it's a nightmare, you have to deal with Activision's support function. All my son wants to do is unlink his account so he can link it to his "proper" Activision account. To say that support agents for @ATVIAssist have been unhelpful would be an understatement.

[Simon Jefford @simonj]

The latest in the kafkaesque nightmare that is dealing with @ATVIAssist. Trying to sort this out for my son Activision have built a system where a console account can be linked to an incorrectly entered, unverified account.

@destructoid clicked a link and then got bullied into turning off my ad blocker only to be presented with this. Is this some sort of parody, or do you consider this to be reasonable. Actually it doesn't matter, I'm not visiting again.

[Simon Jefford @simonj]

@Geopost_news Yet another example of a company aggressively trying their utmost to not be of any help. Disgraceful.

[Simon Jefford @simonj]

@Geopost_news probably the worst chat support I have ever experienced. I particularly enjoyed the part where I was given two minutes to respond when it took them an hour to join the chat. Also the part where your bot repeatedly tried to palm me off.

@AMO_Crate But (naïve non-game-dev here) doesn't the new TOS scrap the worst parts of the original proposal?

[Simon Jefford @simonj]

@Grummz @CakeZapper Didn't think you were commenting on the potential quality of the game...?

[Simon Jefford @simonj]

@Roblox It is entirely possible I've missed something, but @roblox "support" is now refusing to point out what that might be. Apparently I have been given all necessary information and no further help or response can be given.

An actively unpleasant experience.

[Simon Jefford @simonj]

OK, even in the realm of crappy 1st line support, my experience with @roblox has to be the least helpful, most customer-hostile I have experienced.

[Simon Jefford @simonj]

@Roblox The screenshot was rejected because it didn't contain my son's roblox name - which of course differs from his gamer tag.

Except of course, even if it did, receipts don't show gamertags.

@gigaclear still waiting for a new install date since my install was cancelled back in October. All I get on the phone are hollow apologies and promises for an update call. Which never happens. Given the extended outage in Haddenham right now I’m wondering if it’s all worth it…

[Kelly Vaughn @kvlly]

Please stop measuring the effectiveness of your engineering team by the number of Jira issues they close, thank you ❤️

It is somewhat ironic, is it not, that Tory MPs achieved the workplace change they needed by withdrawing their labour.

@culturedcode feature request: hook into the current macos/ios focus to automatically filter lists by a tag. Thanks for the app!

[Simon Jefford @simonj]

@BigWarBear @gameinformer Also, I don’t think J Allen Brack was on the call…

Chaos Monkey but it randomly cancels meetings.
