Not too cyberpunkish, but damn, that’s so cute! I hope they actually put that into production ♥️

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 7h

The worst part about modern concept #car is that they will never come into production, but they have such cool #cyberpunk aesthetics—for example, the #Renault R17, #Hyundai N Vision 74, and Grandeur. Fingers crossed for the #Jaguar Type 00, maybe only one from those that will go into production…

It’s natural on a platform with such a small user base… Fingers crossed W will grow and naturally gain more content in other languages. Right now, I feel like we are explorers of a new world. Different backgrounds, but a similar goal. Somehow we need to communicate until the community grows 🦾

As a sidenote I hope @wsocial.eu will add even paid option for larger notes as I clearly more novel type person… 😰

With proper company organization and some kind of team independence in term of choosing right people to join you can maintain proper, cozy atmosphere ♥️

Soft skills are as important as or even more important than hard skills, cause they’re harder to learn. Then, having the right managers with proper team-building skills. Damn, I joke about HR, but when they work properly, the effects can be amazing.

Last Friday, each of us drove about 200 km just to rock out together to the metal version of “Dragostea Din Tei” dressed up as vampires. So, it’s not about the company size. It’s about hiring the right people, where “right” doesn’t always mean the best specialist.

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 11/10/2026

I work for a company that hires more than 10k employees. Yet, my team is like a band of brothers (don’t sue me, HBO). I know my PM's favorite football team, and we joke about our manager's whiskey collection. I know each coworker's kid and their parental struggles.

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 11/10/2026

In a perfect world, I’d choose cyberpunk as well. In reality, though, many of my guests won’t go as far as researching how to dress for cyberpunk, with a Temu wig being far above anything they’d do to dress up 😅

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 10/10/2026

Well, that could be a funny typo, or we hadn’t had to dress up for my coworker's birthday. You'll never know... 🤫

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 10/10/2026

Fun fact on the side: half of my team was born in the same year: 1086 🥂

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 10/10/2026

My coworker’s 40th birthday in a medieval cellar with a vampire theme made me really envious, as I love dress-up parties. So now I’m thinking what mine should be. I’m torn between cyberpunk, zombies, and cowboy the latter because it’s easy to dress, thus it is more probable that guests will dress up

Friday. Obviously it has to be Friday, when you get a disaster-level service desk ticket, just to find out it was foolishly hardcoded to be triggered on the exact date the password for production becomes obsolete, not caring if you changed it a week ago in advance ♥️ #ITLife #Friday #Funday

Mostly Steam, where I browse when feeling frisky and wanting to buy another game I won’t have time to even install 🤫 The second source is social media, but that's mostly for big titles…

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 07/10/2026

It was enough for them to let her in. And as a reward, I got a package with gifts from Egypt. As I really liked "Zombieland", one part of the gift was Twinkies. They were far worse than I expected them to be 🥲

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 07/10/2026

Unfortunately, it was closed. She begged the guards, but they didn't want to cooperate. Especially since they were watching sports on TV. Wrestling. She looked at the TV screen and said, "Oh… I hope Undertaker will kick Cena's ass." A natural blonde European girl totally understanding wrestling 🤼

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 07/10/2026

The only TV in my apartment was in my flatmate's room. And she totally hated that "sport". But there was no mercy 💀 Wrestling. Every. Monday. After a year of that misery, she flew out to Egypt for excavations. And one day, she needed to get access to the university library in Cairo.

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 07/10/2026

Alright. Time for a story that no one asked for 😅 But when I was at university, apart from my love for the zombie theme, I also kinda liked WWE wrestling. Every Monday from 20:00 to 22:00 on Eurosport. There was one problem…

If the hologram hadn’t been beamed from a small robot that looked like a garbage bin on wheels, then there’d be room for improvement 😄

If you have an hour for something interesting (or less at x1,25 speed), here's a nice insight into the topic "Is #Europe falling behind?". Highly recommend listening to it, as it is contrary to all the social media propaganda claiming that the #EU is irrelevant youtu.be/l3fE_WIc52M?...

Yet still, in many places, we failed miserably (e.g., Poland), which gives me chills, as I’m aware a real crisis is just a matter of time. Maybe a century, maybe a decade, or next year 🥶

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 03/10/2026

I’d call it a funny apocalypse, as we got off really light in comparison to what we could have gotten… if survival requires only keeping a slight distance, covering your mouth, and getting vaccinated.

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 03/10/2026

Yeah, you’re right… Forgot about that.

Finally, the Polish police also started to crack down on computer piracy pretty hard. There were a lot of stories that students threw out of the windows stacks of pirated CDs when the police conducted a search throughout dormitories. There are even legends that there were PCs thrown out as well 🤣

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 01/10/2026

The second thing was the golden era of gaming magazines that included legal copies of games (the biggest and best known of them all: CD-Action) and the introduction of Steam, especially Steam Sales.

110

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 01/10/2026

I’d say it was in the mid- to late 2000s. And there were a couple of reasons. First of all, obviously, the economy. After the tragedy of the reforms made by Balcerowicz, the unemployment rate skyrocketed to over 20%. After that time, Poland’s economy finally started to heal.

„It ain’t much, but it’s honest work.” That’s the meme that runs through my head when a friend sends me that screenshot 🦾 #Wsocial

For each one of them, I had like 10 “Verbatim CD” editions (if you know what I mean) 😅 A little bit earlier, when the Commodore 64 was still a thing, you could even record a game from the radio over night (kinda proto-Steam, but for “free” 😉).

020

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 30/09/2026

OMG… I forgot it was a thing. I actually got only one game with a paper map, and it was BG 2. I also got a couple of other limited editions, but they didn’t come with a map. That’s also due to the fact that before Steam, in the ‘90 and ‘00 in Poland, just buying an original game was a massive flex.

I like Steam, but obviously, it should not have a monopoly. And the perfect - and for me, the only viable - competitor is GOG.

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 26/09/2026

The way companies chase constant growth and the price we all pay for it is somewhat scary. Years ago, I quit buying crap from AliExpress. $0.99 + free shipping got me to the point where I didn’t even remember what I ordered… www.bbc.com/news/article...

Here’s a little #pro-tip for you. One of the most handy, yet severely underrated, #kitchen utensils for me is a small, cheap… marker. No more guessing when I opened that mayo* jar or cough syrup. ____ *- it’s good for you (IYKYK) 😉

Hackerman (yes, that’s a Kung Fury reference). I just found my old LG G6 at the bottom of a drawer, and after cleaning its charging port, I found out it’s booting up. Next I’ve installed Termux and I'm looking for something fun I can do with it.

000

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 20/09/2026

And it obviously doesn’t count cyber. The scale there is terrifying. Disinformation, propaganda, hacking, recruitment…

020

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 18/09/2026

Yeah… my hope was that they would be able to push it forward despite the problems and refine it further down the line. Neither the iPad nor the iPhone was great at launch either. But it looks like I might be a bit too optimistic.

011

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 18/09/2026

And I believe it won’t change until VR/AR stops being just for games for everyday people. Until it gets more use cases, it will remain an expensive gimmick for enthusiasts. I still hope that #Apple can push it forward, just as they did with the iPad.

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 17/09/2026

BTW, on the margin of thinking about the #history of #WorldWarII, for me, there’s always this building, that I often pass by. Now kinda neglected, but once it was someone’s life investment, finished just in time for 6 years of German occupation followed by 45 years of russian one. What a luck…

010

Tomasz Augustyn @tomaszaugustyn.wsocial.eu · 17/09/2026

A little bit over two weeks after the Wehrmacht, the red army also attacked #Poland on September 17, 1939. Let’s not forget #russia had been on the side that started #WorldWarII and its regime achieved results in genocide very similar to those of the Nazis. #history
