Thanks for the cliff notes! It certainly sounds like all the best people on the internet doing their very best... 🥴
I bought a few early BMBooks and they were fine, but I just didn't have the space to buy anymore. Glad to know I don't have to feel guilty about that 😅

My kid is dead set on visiting this museum. She's excited that she gets to choose two toys from there to bring home and that we'll eat at the restaurant there. It's a little far but she keeps talking about how she wants to go.

It's a dilemma, because it's not real; she's made the museum up. 😫

In my latest game any confirmation pop-up has a YES, NO and MAYBE button, just for the fun of it. One of the first comments on this was "As long as the odds are real and you're not fudging..." which had never even crossed my mind. 🤷 I think people are weirdly suspicious of random chance.

Kara Ling @metacrab.org · 3d

The game in which the premise is "the odds are real but gamers struggle to conceptualize or even believe them" has negative reviews from gamers who don't believe the odds are real (game: Unfair Flips)

A 'Not Recommended' Steam review with 4 hours played

Review text reads: It's a decent idea for a game where you flip a coin and depending on your percentage chances you get heads or tails. However the odds are a lie. You will flip tails 100 percent more than you will heads no matter what your percentage is. Even when you get it up to 60% you will still flip tails way more often then you will heads.

The Dev can try to defend it, but when I flip the coin 2500 times and only hit heads a third of the time even when at 60% then the odds are broken or a lie. I've also watched gameplay and seen fellow players have the same flips so I know it isn't just me having bad luck.

Still not bad for $2, but I'm saying no because the game is coded against you instead of it being fully on chance and luck.

Woah, finally a headline that totally breaks Betteridge's law!

‘My son genuinely believed it was real’: Parents are letting little kids play with AI. Are they wrong?

Some believe AI can spark their child’s imagination through personalized stories and generative images. Scientists are wary of its effect on creativity

The life cycle of every platform:

We're making this for you, the users

Thanks to you this is a growing platform!

To keep it free for you we'll add adverts

To keep it safe for you we are implementing a subscription tier

We sold the platform to fascists for personal profit

Gender is irrelevant when one is first and foremost an alchemist @dertherck.bsky.social · 5d

I think the thing we're just honestly gonna have to square with is that every single platform (yes, even the one you like) is owned and operated by companies that sell your labor (posts, engagement, traffic, and activity) to advertisers so... No. There will never be a GOOD platform.

Yeah, I quat it a while back already. I simply wasn't getting any use out of it that was worth the $10/month or whatever it was. This price increase seems laughable to me.

Score Studios LLC @scorestudios.bsky.social · 7d

Generally it's a good idea to *not* give corporations subscription money to destroy the gaming ecosystem and lay off thousands. Plus, they will always want more and give you less. It's a zero-sum game and you will always lose.

My e-Reader Picross engine is done! It plays virtually identical to Picross on the Game Boy. I still have over 300 bytes of space, so I'll add even more polish and maybe another feature.

This is *so* important! Creatives need to explore creative fields other than their own to find surprising inspirations and lessons.

Des Walsh @deswalsh.bsky.social · 8d

My advice to being a artist online and just having a more productive or at least positive time is to make shore you follow people outside of your own industry. Follow illustrators, painter, sculptures, photographers, makers, stonemason's, musicians it dose not matter long as there outside your world
