i'm running an experimental real-realtime play-by-discord-message diplomatic role-playing game with simulated message travel time set in an expansive not-quite-steampunk world i've been writing about for the past few months.

thinking about time travel in tabletop games. here’s one idea that i think mostly works. say you have Jenny A. at time T2, she travels back to T1 and meets Jenny B. since there are now two jennys between T1 and T2, everyone behaves differently (so no precognition). [cont.]

I wrote a library for implementing simultaneous-turn multiplayer games (like rock paper scissors, yomi hustle, or pokemon). You write 5ish functions and it handles TCP, taking turns, hidden information, etc

the cocomelon mimetic optimization is a privatization of what is already happening everywhere always. instead of a researcher counting head turns it's The Aggregate Entity optimizing for view-seconds in the free market of attention. turn any feelings about cocomelon on yourself
