Legacy account, check out (at)https://t.co/dFiUbBULjz on Bluesky. Senior Gaming Editor, Ars Technica. I wrote a Minesweeper book: https://t.co/MK8zcJSo60…
Joined April 2007
Remember Minesweeper? My book from @BossFightBooks goes deep on the game’s history, its legacy, its intense competitive scene, the surprising moral panic over its inclusion on work/government computers, and much more! https://t.co/hr4GRIVDbN

there is a whole book about the history of minesweeper and it is excellent "once you get caught up in the flow of Minesweeper, it can be incredibly hard to pull yourself out"
confession time: i have never remotely understood how minesweeper works & just randomly click on little boxes until things go BOOM

Just finished Minesweeper, one of the latest @BossFightBooks titles. It's a great little history of a game that was ubiquitous for 90s kids, and @KyleOrl draws out some great stories and observations about the early Windows game scene as well as the quirks of Minesweeper itself.

The only thing I'm ever going to use this account for going forward is to remind people that I am on BlueSky. If you want to bask in the glow of my microbloggy thoughts, that's the place to be.

I know the network effects feel hard to replace, but the vibe over at BlueSky is great and you can still lurk on Twitter for your faves who have stayed behind...

I get a good quote in this piece about that "AI generated" George Carlin special (I do not think it was written by AI)
Did an AI write that hour-long “George Carlin” special? I���m not convinced.
