How long did you have to take it before you noticed a difference? Are we talking one per day?

It hasn't had functionality removed but it feels clearly like an unloved product at Adobe. The updates have mostly managed to make it feel worse instead of better. On top of that, for kids learning to make games, the idea of getting a

It is such a shame that no modern game development tool comes close to Flash in terms of ease of use, development speed, and integration of art+animation (I say this as someone who worked as a professional Flash developer for 5 years and th

And if it were truly unmitigated, the fatality rate would increase because the hospitals would be full. The fatality rate would basically rise until it matched the hospitalization rate.

Yes, it's still 30%, which is really a ridiculous amount.

How does something like Prodigy fit into this? It seems quite successful at being an edu-game.

Because an iPhone is not the App Store. This seems fairly obvious? "the definition of world is too narrow" is a pretty weak argument.

Agreed. Minecraft is the most immersive game I've ever played. Even more so than Half-Life Alyx (which was amazing and immersive in its own way).

This is a cool idea but if you accidentally hit the back button or refresh it loses all your progress with no obvious way to skip ahead. Frustrating.

This debate has happened in the video game world many years ago (and I'm sure is still ongoing in some circles), but most people arrived at a very simple but counterintuitive solution: A "video game" is not the same as a game

There should be a very small percentage of exceptional players. If you allow everyone who cheats to play, even if they're only playing at the peak, it will break the balance of everything. The top tier games will suck because half the

You inadvertently touch your face way more often when wearing a mask, that much is pretty obvious. You also are more likely to be more confident about your safety and behave in a slightly more risky way. Kind of like how cars drive closer t

I feel like clunky is fine, but a lot of these kids programming apps are not just clunky, they're finicky. Weird mouse hit zones, massive slowdowns, glitches, crashes, lost data, etc. Even the "good" ones have most of these i

Most kids would have a hard time playing Card of Darkness (for example), which is a fairly tough card-roguelike thing. Grindstone is also really good. There are a ton of great games on Apple Arcade. I will completely agree that Apple is bad

Just wanted to say thanks for doing the podcast! It has become my favourite podcast to listen to (and I listen to a lot of them!). The style of it is relaxing and yet mentally stimulating at the same time. I enjoy all the philosophical ques
