Does it include the DLC? Or is the DLC planned to come to the switch too. Have it preloaded, just waiting for the release today!

I wrote a little guide on the new scoresub system in #picotron to hopefully inspire more games to get highscores in! It is a brilliant new feature, coming back to my games to see new names on the highscore board makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Thank you to all those who played them! #gamedev

I fear Game Freak are not brave enough to see this is clearly the right answer, but if they do, instant Switch 2 purchase.

I think 3 is clearest, 1 looks very nice though, particularly if there was a little animation? I think 2 might be too subtle?

Splore is obviously very exciting, but choose() also looks so useful! Also interested to see how the hyper-search has been implemented...

I'm working on an update for "Chunky Rally", my drifty racing game. This update will introduce a track editor with easy to share custom races. @xietanu.bsky.social has been incredibly helpful with the development - I can't wait to try the races that people come up with! #picotron #gamedev #racing

You know this kind of guy gets really upset really fast if a company prioritises hiring Black women (or whatever other minority group) too.

I can't get over how these are all so completely D tier 'moon landing was fake' gotchas. Google for 5 seconds and you will find 5000 people debunking each of these very comprehensively. You only believe these if you have chosen to believe them and avoided other evidence. How do you combat that?

Great, thanks for the quick update. Installed and both seem to be working now.

I also tried just opening a .png file (assuming view.p64 would be the default app?), but nothing happens. I checked that the task manager shows version 0.2.1

Matt Sutton @xietanu.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

I just installed the update from the Picotron website (on Windows), I don't seem to have the view.p64 (assume it would be with the other system apps?) and when I try adding the @ to paths, Picotron crashes to desktop without any error given.

Very "it's illegal to make plans with friends now".

Screenshot of a tweet by Internet Hippo that reads, "New right wing thing is describing crimes as generically as possible to pretend like they're not crimes. Someone gets convicted of conspiracy and they start yelling, 'Wow so it's illegal to make plans with friends now'"

And in this case, it was being done by people protesting the building of a mosque! It was obviously targeted harassment, this woman is just playing dumb to stoke up hatred.

bottom line: we (liberals, lefties, anti-racists, pro-trans, et all) simply cannot accept the implicit premise that fascists are the authentic brits, that they have the right to be heard & we do not, that any disagreement must be solved by us listening to them

But if they get just a bit more racist, they'll definitely start winning over some of those Reform voters. I mean, it didn't work for the Tories and Labour's popularity is currently abysmal, but all they need is a smidge more racism and it'll definitely turn around for them.

Matt Sutton @xietanu.bsky.social · 09/08/2025

Labour continues to twiddle with the racism dial, I see.

Screenshot of a tweet dril that reads, "turning a big dial that says 'Racism' on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right".

Matt Sutton @xietanu.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

Oh, you're a weirdo libertarian. This makes a lot more sense now. And bold of you, I think, to use "millions of more people should have died during the pandemic" as an argument for it. Good luck in your Mad Max fantasies, I'm sure you definitely won't be one of the serfs.

Matt Sutton @xietanu.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

When will the conservative (and to be honest, often also liberal) parties of Europe realise there's no point on the racism dial where you're racist enough to win the Reform/AfD/etc. voters but not so racist that you disgust everyone else?

Matt Sutton @xietanu.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

Why would you look at what the UK tried here and want to copy it? It failed on every front - cost hundreds of millions, managed to deport exactly 4 people (all volunteers), was never popular with the public, and did nothing to attract voters away from our far-right party. Also, morally abhorrent!

Absolutely revolting that this is becoming normalized as a policy www.politico.eu/article/germ...

Germany’s new willingness to lead Europe’s anti-immigration front removes one key obstacle preventing European countries from enacting policy proposals that were until recently deemed beyond the pale. Those include plans to deport migrants to third countries and to process asylum claims outside the EU, copying the U.K.’s failed Rwanda scheme, which Merz previously praised as “something we could emulate.”

You're joking, right? What's the point of the state if not to care for its population? What's the advantage of not locking down that outweighs the (very many) lives saved?

Similarly, I can't imagine licking Francium would go well for you either - it's an alkali metal, extremely radioactive and it's usually only found inside uranium ore.

Also, what are they talking about? Mario literally dressed in a tuxedo and proposed to Peach in Mario Odyssey. Their relationship is chaste, but it's clearly romantic!

And with @lexaloffle.bsky.social's recent updates to Picotron, I've just released what I'm broadly considering the 'finished' version. It now does everything I wanted it to (and more). I'm not ruling out more updates, but happy with what I've achieved with it!

I've realised I've not posted about Strawberry Src here - I've created a code/text file editor for #picotron, and you can find it here: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=148... It's a bit of a down-scope from SpaghettiCode, instead more like Picotron's inbuilt editors but with new QoL features.

Exactly! It is one of the simplest things, no cost, absolute minimal need to accept someone's identity. There is no world in which someone is happy for a trans woman to use the women's bathroom, but finds calling her 'she' a step too far. It's a nonsense position.

These Discworld QOTDs got me to start reading these books again after not having read one since I was a kid. I just wanted to say thanks for that. Pratchett was such an incredible author.

Even in his imagined world where you've got a load of parents who are lazy and bad and having kids even though they know they can't afford them, why do the kids deserve to suffer for that? Don't we owe anything to the children who obviously have done nothing wrong?

Is it intended that background processes are so heavily affecting the performance of the active process? e.g. with the normal cart editors running (code editor with a few files open, gfx, sound, etc.), even a cart that's using ~0.1 cpu is running at 30fps.

Matt Sutton @xietanu.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

Every day it becomes less clear what the difference is between this government and most of the Tory governments we've had for the last decade. Same anti-immigrant stuff that is more about proving they're racist enough than actually solving any real problems.

Matt Sutton @xietanu.bsky.social · 23/06/2025

I thought the tagline "Shield up. Fight Back" was hilariously bad, but then I looked at the Wikipedia page and it seems the other tagine they used was "The game that stalks back", so, uh, I guess that was the better option, good choice.

Meryl Streep is in about 30 seconds of Mamma Mia 2! She's been nominated for 21 Oscars and won 3 of them, and none of the movies she won for and only 2 of the others made this list?

Matt Sutton @xietanu.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

There is, in theory, a limit to that without withdrawing from the UN human rights treaties. I'm not naive enough to think that provides a lot of protection but we should be clear when the government is failing at their human rights obligations

Matt Sutton @xietanu.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

Doesn't the second story controvene UN human rights law? There's case law against this exact kind of family seperation (e.g. Winata v Australia) under rights to family life.

Matt Sutton @xietanu.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

Yes! There is way, way more evidence that being a weird freak transphobe is bad for your electoral chances - because most people, given a modicum of prompting, can see this is weird freak behaviour and hate weird freaks!
