Does anyone have recommendations on encouraging an eleven year old to take on small achievable projects? He’s endlessly lamenting he can’t do things that are either huge, or actually impossible, but I can’t for the life of me get him to try smaller things to build up to bigger ones and get a sense of achievement.

@chrismarquardt @pascoda it’s an arms race. It starts with cars getting a bit bigger than a VW Golf, and feeling a bit intimidated by all these larger vehicles, so you get something a bit bigger. A decade or two later here we are, with everyone needing a tank to not be immediately crushed when someone stops paying attention.
While I appreciate the anti-competitive nature of Apple’s insistence on all transactions going through them, I fear this is going to lead to a rapid downhill spiral in app trustworthiness on iOS. I really like that when I hit the subscribe button on iOS I’ll be able to unsubscribe easily in a known location, and that I’ll keep access until the period I paid for is up.

That’s credits on Blue Prince. I’ll be back, because I have Theories on what that ending cutscene was about. For now though I need a break, and to play a game that doesn’t hate its players quite so much,
I’m so split on Blue Prince. Without the roguelike element it would be a stone cold 10/10 for me. As it is, I spend as much time resenting how little it cares about my time as I do in awe of the good bits. My latest run had me on the cusp of getting to Room 46, but I was cursed by poor RNG to god knows how many more runs.
I nearly rage quit Blue Prince earlier and then it threw a whole new room at me and I spent half an hour writing Python to try and solve a puzzle. (It didn’t work, there are too many potential options to brute force it)
It seems I replaced smoking with Blue Prince. So far this is going quite well, except for the intense withdrawal I feel when I’m not playing Blue Prince. Not entirely sure how I’m going to cope when I run out of game to play but I reckon I’m at least a week off that being a problem that needs solving.
