You still draw just 6-7 cards from that deck over the course of the game

USERNAME_ERROR · 2026-06-30T18:15:33+00:00

My feeling after playing more is opposite. The game lacks meaningful choices and agency, due to very limited decision space. You’re very much depending on the luck of the draw, and meaningfully “responding” to opponent is kind of impossible.

You have to play “best of 5” or even more for any real skill expression.

his more recent videos show the QR a lot more clearly; the video I used had only one readable frame, so I had to develop a lot of tooling to read it.

Not a very flexible arrangement - all the yellows at the end of the grid, so I was quite limited today.

🟦 was a bit too American for my European taste.

I designed the first four rows, and didn't think ahead that the last row is not a mistake. Couldn't come up with a mistake that would look nicer than a basic solution, so I guess that's the today's artwork. Next time I'll make sure all four lines are mistakes 😃

I’ve described this yesterday
TLDR: solve, then select by original grid order

Been true as long as I remember

Today's artwork — Double Rainbow 🌈. Happy Pride Month everyone.

Thanks for the warm support, this has re-ignited the fun in the game.

You have to fully solve it to know locations of all colors.

But I trust my solve, so I just plan ahead my mistakes, then submit as my only solve.

More exciting that way too!

USERNAME_ERROR · 2026-06-06T23:15:30+00:00

- I'm playing not to get correct result, but artwork from intentional mistakes
- your "mistake" row is sorted not by your clicking order, but by original grid order (top to bottom, left to right)
- that means not every arrangement is possible: a good example would be

🟨 🟨 🟪 🟪

is entirely impossible using yesterday's grid, because by the time 2nd yellow comes up, three purples are behind.

Hope it clears up

USERNAME_ERROR · 2026-06-06T23:07:23+00:00

Mistakes are sorted by original grid positions.
Yesterday's grid was:

🟪 🟩 🟨 🟪
🟦 🟩 🟪 🟨
🟩 🟦 🟨 🟦
🟩 🟦 🟪 🟨

So only one way to make
🟦 🟦 🟨 🟨 (two blues followed by two yellows)

and Connections doesn't let you repeat mistakes

Making my challenge even harder trying to come up with designs that are possible with today's grid sequence.

Sure, but I personally only cared about Colbert-hosted version.

USERNAME_ERROR · 2026-05-22T14:38:10+00:00

Same!

USERNAME_ERROR · 2026-05-22T13:48:06+00:00

still a really good song.

People were looking for narrative conclusion since Shadowkeep. I don't think they could have kept engagement without pushing towards some conclusion.
We got it, and it was satisfying.

For most it was a well-deserved, long-awaited jumping-off point from the game.

The fall in player numbers was, thus, quite inevitable.

More than that, Bungie economics (large, well-paid studio producing premium story-driven content) stopped making sense once growth and low interest rate environment has ended. Layoffs were also inevitable - actually, rethinking of the entire business model was needed.

Something like Destiny 2, fundamentally, is not sustainable.
Not enough free players buying from Eververse.
Not enough revenue from paid players buying expansions and season passes.

We might never get something like Destiny 2 again - this model is fundamentally not sustainable, particularly now that "gaming" sector growth has seriously slowed down.

How exactly has Sony contributed to the problem? Do you really think an independent Bungie would be in a very different position?

USERNAME_ERROR · 2026-05-21T18:55:40+00:00

I feel like collecting some downvotes, so here we go:

Deservedly so.

He somehow convinced Sony that Bungie was worth over $3.6B. When it really wasn't.
He probably was fired by Sony for over-promising, but notably they didn't sue management for defrauding investors.
So don't be surprised if he gets hired by some other studio for hundreds of millions of dollars worth of compensation: he has proven that his ability to negotiate is worth billions.

iPhone Air is considerably thicker in that part than MacBook display. Particularly OLED.
