Today is the one-year anniversary of the release of Unfair Flips!!! The game is not on sale today because I forgot. But also it's $1.99 anyways so a sale is mostly in the mind store.steampowered.com/app/3925760/...

A non-idle clicker game about flipping a coin that hates you. Starting with just a 20% chance of getting heads, can you get ten heads in a row?

if you’re a games company that wants to survive it has been proven over and over again you need to do whatever it takes to stay away from being publicly traded. you’ll be turned into wood chips the moment it’s convenient.

the thing about indie games is that if someone designs one single game I love, I’ll get whatever they make for the rest of their lives and pretty much always have a good time. people are so attached to ip but imo you really gotta know the creators.

Whether it dies with a bang or lingers on fringes, like cryptocurrencies, — when the AI bubble pops what will remain is knowledge of who around you has moral flexibility to justify the destruction of everything that makes humans interesting and worthwhile over some short-term personal gains.

As you can see, everyone is extremely excited about this and it was definitely worth Chrome forcing through the prompt API that no other browser wants. Once this bubble bursts, we need to have a serious conversation (and litigation) about Google and their influence on the web.
