Just letting folks know, you can now find me on Blue Sky: bsky.app/profile/mattme… @MattMerkle.bsky.social Thanks to everyone who follows me onward to better pastures.
Arbitrary ceilings on leaderboards don't just discourage new runners, it gatekeeps those with disabilities who may struggle to get a record time. This is a hobby where all are welcome to participate, no matter your skill level.
Hey @TeamYouTube, this is not profanity in the thumbnail. Stop flagging videos as having profanity that don't have any.
By the way, it's only gonna be a matter of time before Elon realizes that YouTube and Twitch compete with Twitter as well.
Alright, time for all those platforms and blogs that link to Twitter to ban Twitter then. I'm sure that wouldn't backfire on Twitter whatsoever! Elon's dumber than a box of rocks. Time to up and move, speedrun community. This is the signal that it's all over for Twitter.
and another thing: im not mad. please dont put in the newspaper that i got mad.
Allow me to let you all in on a little secret: There's a little bit of Sonic the Hedgehog in all of us. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_hed…
Question for all y'all looking for Twitter alternatives: do any of them offer anything like tweetdeck, with support for scheduling and multiple users under one account? All the popular picks seem to lack even an API.
Today in Event Planning: issues every hotel in the world must have. Bad Floorplans. All hotels must feature floorplans that are not to scale, missing doors and pillars, provide incorrect measurements, arcane iconography (without legends) and do not line up with each other.
Savin' this for the Twitter funeral.
Savin' this for the Twitter funeral.
Elon tweeting about how there's never been more engagement is sort of like firing Scotty and his team, overloading the warp core, then bragging about how fast you're going.
This is the Twitter Status Page. If you cannot read this tweet, the last engineer at Twitter finally peaced out.
Don't think I didn't catch you screwin' up your tweet, @amyrlinn

@matt_merkle Silly Matty, the Leaderboard Bourgeoisie demands penance for this... "acceptance"
This is despicable behavior. GDQ is a good, respectable organization & if they're doing this to them they can do it to anyone. After seeing the thread by @djWHEAT today this doesn't really surprise me, but saddens me none the less. @zachbussey I trust you'd be interested in this

@matt_merkle @Succinct_Punchy I legitimately lolled at some of these. Glitchless (But Wearing a Clown Costume) and All Cutscenes (But In a British Accent) are definitely my favorites.
@matt_merkle @Succinct_Punchy Yo I'm the first one
YouTube comments trying to come up with new challenge runs
@matt_merkle @Succinct_Punchy Boss rush twerk is a party hit.
@BreakdownSDA youtube.com/watch?v=ILp2vm… This one often gets missed because of being used for the 2nd demo loop (and the 1st loop being the banger Scars of Time), but I really like it and think it sums up the game pretty well (has bits of the Chrono Trigger theme but is mostly its own thing).
Kind of surprised this is so close
@matt_merkle Can’t sleep so here’s my horrible image of the day.
@RowanRowden I got a second-hand taste of what goes into actual sweepstakes from GDQ dealings, and No Thank You, they are way too strict and weird be be in charge of
@matt_merkle @WhatsApp @TeamYouTube @thiojoe Ran it, seems to have worked exceptionally well. Thanks for showing it to me!
@matt_merkle @emrayquaza Nah you see we one way flew to get a car then drove to GDQ THEN drove home. We have a special car that can drive in ocean.
We have had many heated debates about both the most minuscule and largest issues GDQ has faced, but I have always come out of each one with my way of thinking sufficiently challenged and supported at the same time. I know GDQ is in good hands with his continued leadership. ✨
Matt is behind many of the toughest decisions GDQ has to make, and he has never failed to support me through some of the most difficult circumstances and empower me to make decisions of my own. His love and resolve for GDQ and everyone who makes it great inspires me daily.
I’ve been lucky to work with so many talented people at @GamesDoneQuick, but I absolutely must thank @matt_merkle for being the caring, tough, and fearless leader who has led GDQ to the success it sees today.
