I've heard people say before, "Well isn't output randomness technically just input randomness for the next turn?" And yeah, technically, but not functionally. There's a potential for the two to bleed over, but it's about principle of showing the player the random effect before asking them to choose.

Made this little diagram on Input and Output RNG:

diagram showing the path from input RNG to Player Choice to Output RNG

Input randomness:
the game "serves" a set of circumstances obstacles and other variables that the player has time to read and recognize

Player choice:
the player makes a choice either by pressing a button, playing a card, moving a piece, or in a menu.

Output randomness:
the outcome of the player's input is modified according to a randomized rule or otherwise randomness is incorporated.

A law is an observation that is extremely consistent across observation, such as dark matter. A theory is an explanation of those observations. We don't have a theory of dark matter, but we have a law. It objectively exists, but we can't explain how it works.

Theory doesn't mean hypothesis, it means explanation.

Pedocon theory isn't a guess, it's the explanation for why shit is so fucked.

it's always like

>TTRPG creators complain that TTRPG journalists don't cover small games

>TTRPG journalists say their job is to report the news not be advertisers

>”the news” is always at least two headlines for every D&D book or whatever movie-budget D&D actual play podcast is coming out next

Bigots are *willfully* ignorant. They live in an information bubble, fed the most extreme outrage producing examples of the object of their hatred, because they do not want to understand. They enjoy their anger. This is classic liberal, "Well the bigots are simply mistaken, and can be convinced"

I am increasingly convinced by the argument that Trump's inner circle is showing him AI videos of whatever they want him to believe

Gambling isn't fun, solving is. However, both gambling and solving have a variable reward schedule. So gambling feels like solving and it's easy to get the two confused, especially when they are mixed together.

@raphkoster.bsky.social Hi, I remember you having an article on your blog about how long different characters stay in the air when they jump, and how all different characters have airtime less than a second. Assuming I'm not misremembering, could you please help me find it?

A comic where a woman is forcing kiwi to sign a contract.

The woman says.
“YES DOLL! SIGN THAT CONTRACT AND BECOME WHAT YOU WHERE ALWAYS MEANT TO BE
MY PROPERTY!!!”

Legal Eagle appears and says

“Actually, here's why that probably wouldn't hold up in court.”

And the girls respond
“LEGAL EAGLE!!!”

A lot of old games rock by modern standards. Standards have never been especially high, and people have always been making good video games.
