I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

Bluesky's lack of a coms team does indeed give us some of these funny moments such as:

"You're aware that you are ostensibly speaking for the company with the current role you have and the subject matter you're wading into, right?

what?"

Maja Öberg @majaoeberg.bsky.social · 1d

I do find it hilarious how they immediately backtracked after this and deleted the comment

a member of bluesky saying "Yeh" in response to the above post, with a journalist responding asking to get their exact quote over the thread in which the bluesky member responds with "what" and the journalist then rephrasing the question only for the bluesky member to delete the entire thread

Anything Can Be A Battle (If you want it to be!)

2300 words about how game design talk often too prescriptive, musing on the nature of abstract turn based battle systems and the various ways how you might make your fights more exciting.

Nah you're actually 100% right here, we are very unabashedly inspired by Bit Trip, specifically beat and flux! The original concepting doc spells this out very clearly with the bounce notes.

I had never heard about bit trip gravity, though, that's super cool! Wonder what it would have looked like..

Section 5: Bounces
BOUNCE: A variant of the block that must be hit multiple times. Numbers around the bounce indicate how many times it must be hit, and flash to indicate what timing it bounces back with. May change angle on bounce. Comparable to orange blocks in Bit Trip (Perfect BIT.TRIP BEAT - Transition (TAS))

Level 1
WangleLine - Cache
Level 3
Level 4
(BOSS) Sobrem - slic.hertz* (if I could license a single song, it would probably be this)
