My simulation shows that you do in fact double your chances by switching door...

in some configurations :)

(in other configurations, switching may be a guaranteed loss)

I can definitely understand that!

Godot is looking pretty good these days, though I'm personally moving to either Monogame, Raylib or SDL3 (still in the deciding process)

Have you ever wanted to listen to the Monty Hall Problem, in procedural music form?

If the answer is "Yes", see my upcoming talk at Roguelike Celebration on October 26, www.roguelike.club

A screenshot from my adaptive music software. Various fields describe the monty hall problem, but a lot of the behavior is customizable, such as whether the host is evil, whether the host is required to open a door, or even offer the player to switch to another door.

Directly when I saw it, I got Hypnospace Outlaw vibes. Then I found out you can get the game bundled together with Hypnospace Outlaw on Steam, which by the way is a highly reasonable thing to do.

Installing Blippo+

It was introduced to me by a streamer and I have to experience the whole thing.

It's TV from another planet, and I need to learn more about them. store.steampowered.com/app/3323850/...

Blippo+ on Steam

Blippo+ is a live-action, off-cable TV simulator. Channel-surf the stars and discover the staticky, radical world of Planet Blip through its soaps, sitcoms, news, weather, and talk shows. But don’t to...

It has too much tech debt tho, things break more often than I'm willing to put up with anymore, and every update is a gamble.

(For the record indeed it doesn't help that the company's leadership is behaving very dodgy either)

They're so good! Homemade ones are my favorite tho, then I get to do weird experiments adding non-standard ingredients

Cafe, dog, coffee, chocolate ball, and AKO kola. I'm very Swedish today

Oof! Unity has accumulated too much technical debt for me which is my main reason for changing after my current game. Will definitely not change to UE!

That's such a shame.

visuals and music is the #1 reason I watch a tron movie. I re-watched Legacy just a week back and I already forgot the motives the various characters had. But those visuals :O

Oof, I was fearing taking into the real world was a bad choice.

I'm also a fan of Legacy, it feels like watching a really long but great music video. I wish more movies tried that
