I think I'll load up this old CD-ROM that I found in a thrift store yesterday. It's a banned game from 1995 called Forbidden Solitaire!

Finally got to making an Android version of Wrestle Jump 2 and adding it to itchio. It's been interesting looking at these older Godot projects of mine as it's now clearer to me I've actually become a tiny bit better at this :--) Still, WJ2 is a nice two-player game: ottoojala.itch.io/wrestle-jump-2

THE ERA OF THE COIN BEGINS

Frank Lantz @flantz.bsky.social · 18d

We made a new game. It’s called Q-UP. It’s a coin flipping eSport. There’s a free demo! store.steampowered.com/app/3730790/...

Q-UP on Steam

Sick of long queues, unfair matchups, and arbitrary reflex tests? Try Q-UP, the coin flipping eSport. It's one part clicker, one part multiplayer strategy game, one part demented capitalism simulator,...

To the random internet person on my team who watched me do 3 own goals in a row in Rocker League, not remotely on purpose, I am very sorry and will not be playing for a while.

My office is between the kitchen and the canteen. What do you mean “why aren’t those adjacent”.

The key difference between Q-Up and Unfair Flips is that this Steam review would be in Q-Up’s written narrative as a bit, and Unfair Flips simply sends people so mad they voluntarily write it themselves.

Kara Ling @metacrab.org · 10d

The game in which the premise is "the odds are real but gamers struggle to conceptualize or even believe them" has negative reviews from gamers who don't believe the odds are real (game: Unfair Flips)

A 'Not Recommended' Steam review with 4 hours played

Review text reads: It's a decent idea for a game where you flip a coin and depending on your percentage chances you get heads or tails. However the odds are a lie. You will flip tails 100 percent more than you will heads no matter what your percentage is. Even when you get it up to 60% you will still flip tails way more often then you will heads.

The Dev can try to defend it, but when I flip the coin 2500 times and only hit heads a third of the time even when at 60% then the odds are broken or a lie. I've also watched gameplay and seen fellow players have the same flips so I know it isn't just me having bad luck.

Still not bad for $2, but I'm saying no because the game is coded against you instead of it being fully on chance and luck.

I spent entirely too long playing this game's demo, which is wicked fun even though it kind of wants to make fun of you for finding it fun
