Game designer.

I’m a Director of Game Design now.

I find it strange you put the entire onus of this issue on the male person proposing when there’s a lot of societal expectation to do these sort of gestures. I’ve been married to my wife for almost 10 years, and I didn’t do a public proposal, but I knew that’s what she wanted. Some people do want the big, public gesture, including the people you believe have diminished autonomy. It’s an unpopular opinion to say these people should be barred from marriage because the opinion lacks awareness of cultural nuances driving people to do public proposals—its unpopular for good reason; it’s myopic.

This is a moment. Take it bird by bird.

Imbroglio (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/imbroglio/id969264934) is one of my favorite minimal purchase iOS games. I haven’t played it in awhile, but it’s a unique dungeon puzzle game where you place attacks as floor tiles on the board ahead of playing. There’s some consistent rules with ramping challenge, which made it super replayable for me. I loved trying different floor designs, finding strategies, and there’s a small progression system that’s fun. Hasn’t been updated in a few years, but it was a great design despite the rough appearance.

This right here. Someone showed me wefwef the other day, and it feels like Apollo if you want the experience. Definitely my favorite mobile app for the fediverse.

It depends. From what I understood, moderation on Reddit will become really hard after this. So the site will go down in user experience on content, worse than it is now. That’s outside of the 3rd party apps like Apollo no longer working but will have a negative impact. It sounded like some mods would just walk away than deal with not having robot spam bots to help, which it is volunteer. That could spur on further churn, again, because quality suffers.

I removed my Reddit apps and don’t plan to go back. Having said that, the tech here is still in its infancy. I see bugs daily, the native app version of this experience is not super adoptable by a mass market yet, but it can all improve with time and more bodies interested here.

Long term, this broad concept of decentralization seems to be populous. I think people don’t understand it yet, when they show up it’s rough, and there’s alternatives. But that will all continue to change in the coming months.

I’ll take “poorly educated” over “educated and unwilling to learn or grow.”
