Gotcha gotcha thank you!

Hey the image isn’t loading for me for lemmy related reasons, what’s the picture of?

Do we know what the nerfs actually are?

Solo dev. Reading his letters of gratitude to players and comparing it with the game he made gives me this vibe very strongly

Try to start with the corners and work in from there!

In the context of speed cubing, to be honest it’s more like a roguelike videogame at this point than anything. If you think of the scramble as a new map, you basically use your game knowledge to put the cube in a known state that you can then progress quickly with known algorithms.

Even the most procedural way of solving the cube, the beginner’s method, has a ton of points where you need to carefully observe the cube and make some intuitive adjustments. And then as you progress into different methods the “game” really opens up to you.

There was a great video a few years ago, This one right here, where they gave 5 cubers of differing skill levels the exact same scramble and had them solve it and talk through their process. Each took a totally different path based on their knowledge of cubing strategy

But yeah you don’t need to be a genius or anything to start “playing” the “game”.

Actually solving the actual puzzle with no guide would be a totally different beast. They sell 2x2 cubes actually, which I would recommend to anyone wanting to go in blind. They’re surprisingly devious, and from my experience beginners actually get hooked right away vs with the 3x3 cubes where they give up after like ten seconds lol

That’s not just a realization; it’s a powerful insight!

Yeah same story for me every nintendo console. I’m like ahhh maybe I’ll skip this one. Then I blink and they’ve put out like a dozen masterpieces and I’m like ahhh they got me again

At least we hope he won’t be

Personally I love it when people who are not my doctor offer me specific, actionable medical advice. Especially so when it entails surgery to permanently remove my body parts

Interesting argument, but I have already hand drawn you as the soyjack and me as the chad

Wow what a read! Is this a published article from somewhere or your original work? Really great storytelling, do you have some links for further reading?

Well, if you’re feeling philosophical I think you’d first need to address your presupposition that life has or is meant to have any meaning whatsoever.

Like, according to who? And how did they determine that? Would you be sad if it turns out there isn’t any underlying meaning?

I agree. Personally I have made multiple amazon accounts and subscribe to prime on each of them. It costs me more upfront, but I get more cash back on my orders. Plus, by buying different raw materials on different accounts the feds are less likely to discover my moonshine operation

You might just be chronically tired or worn down from the stresses of life. It’s pretty common.

Another thing is as we get older a lot of people will choose more “challenging” adult books and then just be totally bored lol. I read young adult and kids books sometimes (how can I give a book to a child if I haven’t read it myself?) and it’s always surprising to me how they can be ripped through in no time at all.

But in general I think you’re probably right that literacy can decrease with disuse. It seems like most things about the mind and body trend that way

It turns out nobody really thinks often enough for you to get any information

I keep forgetting about it, then being surprised and delighted weekly! Thank you OP

Oh, your link is broken in the post itself I think

She saying she likes having the ability to dip back to her place to rest between bouts of partying

Oh I seem to think you’re a dishonest, instigating time waster, huh? What makes it seem that way, the part where I directly accused you of it?
