hello again
made (and continuing to make) downpour.games, a game-making app that anyone can use
also i have a website: v21.io
no no, I read that. but, like, I've had crunchy crumbles, and crumbles with oats in them. but also, I'm in the UK where the term crisp is apparently not common so maybe our crumbles would be your crisps.

Is now the time to confess that I'm not sure I've ever had a fruit crisp, and that I'm not completely sure what one is?

(I have had a lot of crumbles - seems like there's a cultural divide between the US/UK about what you call them? or maybe it's about oats, but neither of yours have oats in?)

enjoy this post by James Lantz about Q-Up - and about two ways that videogames are evil - stiknork.substack.com/p/qing-up-in...
Qing-UP in the Age of Tilt
As anyone who has played 5 seconds of League of Legends knows, competitive multiplayer games have a tilt problem.

ironically I think the small boats problem is easy to solve. just stop checking if there are some people hiding in the back of lorries coming off the ferries. out of sight, out of mind. and many fewer deaths, too.

it's a "oh, I have a spare evening, let's go to the cinema", and then half an hour later I'm sitting there

not to brag but you're right - I go all the time these days, but that's because it's £7, 15 minutes cycle away and I buy tickets at the door.

I feel compelled to ask if you've played Elsinore

oh, maybe this is because... it has become magically fixed since I last pushed an update to Downpour

ughhh. i bought this phone to try to reproduce this bug: bsky.app/profile/v21.... but it's not doing it. despite being the same model as one of the affected people!
does your Android phone do this when you open the colour picker on Downpour? if so: what model is it? I think I need to buy a phone to reproduce it, and I keep failing to write down the specific models when I see it happen
