If you don't know anything about my work and you ask a chatbot to explain it to you, you will likely be badly misled. 42/ 1361
Jakob M. @jotakob.bsky.social · 06/07/2026I've been thinking this for a while. There's often many players in the box. Many players leads to many fouls. Many of those would be called as free kicks anywhere else, but don't feel like they deserve an 80% goal just for being in the box. Football needs something like field hockey's short corner 010

Jakob M. @jotakob.bsky.social · 18/07/2025100 copies per day, for 60 days, paying 80 usd is 480k, that's barely making a dent in those 7.6 billion 010

Reposted by Jakob M. Brandon Sheffield @brandon.insertcredit.com · 27/01/2025There has been some debate over whether bluesky is good for game promotion or whether actual consumers are here. As a test, last week we did two posts with mid-level performance - one from the company account, one from mine - and got ~900 wishlists. There was no other promo elsewhere. Pretty solid. 562579457

Jakob M. @jotakob.bsky.social · 29/11/2024Also, splines and the attached buildings are never seamless and flexible enough to actually match the spline streets, so it feels weird and wrong. E.g. you can only make square housing blocks, otherwise there's unrealistic gaps between the buildings. 020
Jakob M. @jotakob.bsky.social · 29/11/2024The OpenTTD player in me agrees, but I do wonder why that is. I think I like the predictability of tiles, I never have to fight the game about juuust fitting something in, it either does or doesn't, and I can know that when planning something. 120
Jakob M. @jotakob.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Like one die might be a little inconsistent and below average usually, but almost always pulls out the high numbers when it counts? Another die wants no drama so doesn't give many 6s or 1s? 000
Jakob M. @jotakob.bsky.social · 02/11/2024Judging by the preview text, it's also not being spent on web development 000
Jakob M. @jotakob.bsky.social · 29/10/2024It's a series of scenarios, I think 4 base + 2 dlc, but they are quite extensive scenarios with evolving challenges and goals. There's an overarching storyline, but it's not super connected 010
Jakob M. @jotakob.bsky.social · 24/10/2024This took me three days of staring at, but I finally got the breakthrough and solved it. When I checked the first ten numbers and they were correct I was so relieved 😅 020
Jakob M. @jotakob.bsky.social · 21/10/2024Gambling has no upper limit, there's only so much money you can spend on weed in a month, no such thing for money spent on all the various kinds of gambling. This is also why I think the lottery isn't really harmful, as long as it's not privately managed. You just don't spend that much money on it 000
