Tightrope - Tuesday, September 17, 2024
  • They should have specified pigments or light.

    However, when you look at it from the perspective of the first things we teach kids about colors, green is a mixture of the primary colors yellow and blue.

    The iPhone 16, new AirPods and other highlights from Apple's product showcase
  • I only have marques brown's comment to back this up, but he said the two stage camera button doesn't do anything yet but it's coming in a future update. I'm baffled how Apple feels okay releasing this new hardware without the software to support it.

    I rewatched the American pie trilogy... They're probably better now than they were 20 years ago
  • Perfect example. It feels like OP misses a style of movie that doesn't get made much anymore but the reason it doesn't get made isn't from any sense of political correctness. It's a combination of how audiences spend money and how much money Hollywood expects to make.

    For a puzzle with so many cross over red herrings, this just kinda fell into place.

    End of an era: Nova Launcher's parent company lays off practically everyone
  • Meh. Nova is the best launcher in my opinion but I've already been version locked to the last release before this company bought it. I've basically given up in anyone else replicating the features I want. So I'll be using this version of Nova until Google finally breaks it.

    One of those games where I had yo take a mid day break and come back to it. I think it helped not having the LAST LETTER locked in.

    Braid: Anniversary Edition has sold so poorly that "the future is uncertain" for Jonathan Blow's company
  • Same sentiment here. Loved braid when it came out. Bought and enjoyed The Witness when it came out. I don't need a remaster of either. If you've got a good idea for another game I'm very interested but I'm not re-buying games I already own.

    A tricky one today - default purple win. TWEET snuck into my green section. I would probably never have gotten purple on my own.

    HOT DOG. Even as an American that was obscure. It feels like a real "old timey" kind of saying - and I'm no spring chicken.

  • It's that time of year again. A time to reflect on the last year and look forward to the next. In 2023, my partner and I decided to undertake a 10x10 challenge despite having two kids under 5 taking up a lot of our time.

    We made some minor adjustments to the 10x10 formula to fit our situation better. Instead of a single game, we included a small games category we could check off every time we brought out a game like Fox in the Forest or something similarly light and quick. We included a family game night category so our 4 year old could mark off things every time we suffered through played a riveting game of Candy Land. Finally, we included "game nights" as a category in an attempt to make the time to invite friends and family over for games, or to get out and attend other friend's game nights.

    To track everything I made up a chart to keep on the fridge and color in every time we played a game on the list. As you can see below, we did not finish our 10x10 challenge but we did have a good time. There was a lot more gaming than was captured on the chart due to game nights and just playing games we didn't include on the list.

    My favorite games for 2023 were probably Race for the Galaxy and Heat: Pedal to the Metal. Hopefully, I catch Heat in stock soon so I can add it to my collection.

    Looking forward to 2024 we again reworked the 10x10 to suit our style a bit more and encourage playing more of our collection. We chose 5 games to play 10 times and 10 games to play 5 times. This still gives us a goal of 100 games played. There is still a wild card category to catch some one off games we're itching to play.

    We have also included bonus points for putting together puzzles and for hosting game nights.

    Is anyone else doing a challenge this year? Anything new or old you're especially excited to include?
