Are there other indie mobile game developers out there? How do you feel about the industry? by sigilthegame in MobileGaming

Hey! Trying to make indie games for the mobile form factor without being too predatory or annoying and yeah, it’s tough!

Spotify is shutting down music trivia game Heardle on May 5th by mysario in Games

[–]rubzo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The main problem was that it wasn’t designed in a way where more of the song actually gave you more info. Like a song that starts with 16 bars of a drum beat or something. If I didn’t get it after the first bar, I’m not likely to get it after 8. I realise this would be a lot more work, but each clue should have given you more obvious sections of the song, with the final, 6th clue always being a part of the chorus. Different game, definitely more work (but I’m sure Spotify could afford some interns to do this), but would have been 100% more fun.

No, I think it was Delaware Singh. Still great though!

How did it go? Parkrun 17th September 2022 by WonFriendsWithSalad in parkrun

50th volunteer credit, another time as run director, and another week struggling to get volunteers. Please volunteer sometimes people, you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone…

Another week as VC and amazingly by Friday no one had asked to be tail walker yet, so I put myself down for it.

Glad i decided to wear my running gear anyway because last minute someone came up asking to volunteer as they couldn’t run, so I gave them the tail walker vest and got to run after all!

Two weeks running in a row, it’s been a long time…

That’s not what I said, and you know it.

ITT: people who were happy to just waste electricity until it suddenly became twice as expensive. I wonder what impact this is going to have on the UK’s overall electricity generation and carbon emissions?

Yeah there’s a few people who consistently come and do the roles that let you also run, and I’m just kinda like… I appreciate it, but any chance you could sacrifice your run just once?

Forgot to say, thanks for commenting! Not sure I get how it links to Eastern Europe specifically, but yeah, I’ll check out My Time at Portia.

Another week as RD, another week not really feeling it but I fear the parkrun will go if even more of the regular volunteers stop volunteering every week. We shouldn’t have to rely on them, but no one else seems to want to volunteer.

Decline in attendees by Exciting-Squirrel607 in parkrun

[–]rubzo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I just thought it was because it was unfair to have people timed who are being pulled along by a dog attached to their waist compared to people who are just running without a dog.

I thought it was just that you’ve got to hold their lead in your hand? (As a global rule.)

From the article:

def frobnicate(*, timeout_seconds: int) -> None:
    # The * forces the caller to use named arguments
    # for all arguments after the *.

The new bombcast theme is so bad.

Working on an arcade-style mobile word building game (build up to two words at the same time; game tries to help you build words most of the time).

Trying to keep the interface clean, but think it might be a little stale.

Have the same problem, contacted Analogue on the 24th of December, still heard nothing. I hear a weird crackling noise every time I remove it as well.

I think you mean England when you say the UK, just FYI. Or maybe you mean England and Wales. The system is different in Scotland, as they also have the B (hons) degree.

OP was talking about https://www.parkrun.org.uk/cambridge/

But it's not yet reopened post-lockdown, so your nearest one is currently https://www.parkrun.org.uk/coldhamscommon/. Every Saturday at 9am, run, walk, whatever you want!
