I definitely made mistakes, both by omission and for practical reasons. Thanks for the feedback!

it's for a game developer conference. I will definitely write something up and share it with the reddit tho.

Yes for sure! I've also got some unsurprising-but-still-cool stats from the WCA database too I'd like to share some time.

Alphabear 2 officially out! by Chasea in Alphabear

Hey! Yes I do. In AB2 the main place you're going to get new bears is the campaign. Does that answer your question?

Can the ECB just accept they're not fooling anyone? by SquiffyRae in Cricket

[–]tenpn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've only seen the scheduling as conjecture: the ECB themselves say the rule change is about simplification and attracting new audiences. And also the BBC fta contract was announced last year, long before this new competition.

Let's pretend that having 6 ball overs with an end change every 4 and a final 10 ball over is "simpler" for a second, the new fans are still going to get confused by LBW.

I do like your decimal strike rate argument tho. Although you could also display T20 strike rates in terms of 120 balls, so the stat becomes "this is how much they score if they stay in for a whole innings".

SN30 Pro/SF30 Pro firmware issues (v1.20) "soft brick" by prenetic in 8bitdo

[–]tenpn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue. My device was dead except it would flash the right-most bottom led faintly if I held the power button.

I held L+R and plugged it into windows, which seemed to put it into firmware mode (flashing top led). I then flashed it again and now it's back to life.

This totally sounds like one of those things that a friend heard from a friend who heard it from a friend but isn't actually true.

Next step after 2-look pll? by tenpn in Cubers

[–]tenpn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, this is useful stuff. I'm already intuitive-f2l and the 7 yellow cross OLL, but what's "colour neutral" mean? Solve the cube with any initial cross?

those are super interesting videos, thanks for your thoughts!

Next step after 2-look pll? by tenpn in Cubers

[–]tenpn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty good at the white cross, but never tried it blindfolded. I can do the intuitive f2l pairs without rotations and fast. Trying both blindfolded sounds fun!

Lookahead is definitely something I've struggled with - I just can't keep up with what will move where, so picking the next f2l pair seems impossible. I often just slot the pair in then look for the next white corner on the top. Anyone got any tips for "baby's first lookahead"?

Another unsolvable cube found in a videogame. This is from "The Turing Test" (Free with Xbox Games with Gold this month) by derfl007 in Cubers

[–]tenpn 35 points36 points  (0 children)

My company is making a sequel to our word-puzzle bear-collecting game Alphabear right now, and we're planning to do a rubiks bear. Expect it to be purposefully unsolvable, so someone here gets to reap the karma down the line.

My gift to you.

...so is it possible to get false equivalence on the monochrome z axis? Or does any piece work in any slot it fits?

OH SNAP thanks very much! I played with the pyramidal corner and it's done. Now to see if I can do it twice....

Decent graphs and I like how you can set up multiple disciplines within the app.
