No details? I need to duck the web to find out more about this. :)

Looks like there's a bug there. I got two identical answers to choose from: https://imgur.com/a/kvHCOrb

Yes, it is a puzzle game. Thanks for the feedback. I will consider changing the trailer.

I don't think Facebook ads would work for many games. Here's an example: https://store.steampowered.com/app/949790/Rogue_Bit/ How do you market such game outside of Steam? How do you reach the progr

Not directly related to the topic, but I wrote a simple puzzle game that emulates a computer which executes programs directly in the memory and you can modify memory to rewrite running programs. Here's a web-based demo if anyone wants

It messes up the browser cache somehow. It's happening 4-5 times per day for me if I check the e-mail often. You can press Command+Shift+R to force reload and it works fine afterwards. Also, running GMail in Firefox (on MBP) makes Fire

It would probably be better to use the explosion to nudge its trajectory instead.

I fully understand this regarding the UI. But the new interface is much slower. I remember stories from years back when Google was beating everyone else in the search and webmail space that speed was one of the crucial components of their s

I don't have "mu", only "u" and changing it to "h" only gives me the old html interface. I can do the same in the settings. I had the option to switch back to "classic" a couple of days back, but

Is maybe the new Chrome login thing related to this. I'm starting to feel like new GMail and the Chrome auto-login thing are somehow connected. Maybe the whole GMail thing only tested with logged-in Chrome so they never noticed the pro

I tried to do that. It is faster, but the font choice and color choice is awful. If you have a lot of e-mail, it's so hard to discern threads and read subjects. I feel like being forced to choose between two bad versions of GMail.

In don't mind the way it looks, I can live with that. But it's sooo slow. Much slower that previous interface. It loads slow and it works slow. Switching between inbox and another folder use to be instantaneous, now I actually hav
