It turns out that Brazil and the state of New York are passing even worse OS-level age verification laws as they require actual ID verification (the California law only requires a DoB input). The worst part is that the Brazilian law will be in effect in less than 13 days.
@beardalaxy @PurpCat I think it could eventually lead to ID scanning, but enforcing that would be difficult unless OSes move more into the cloud.
@beardalaxy @bonkmaykr My favorite story is from the lead designer of Kid Icarus. He literally said "if there are no bugs in it, it's finished".
@bonkmaykr I don't think there is a single gamedev out there that releases something that they are 100% satisfied with. Even Shigeru Miyamoto thinks that Super Mario World, his favorite Mario game he's worked on, was incomplete.

@PurpCat @Kerosene @coolboymew I think the Pandora has a decently sized screen too, and it was around the size of a DS.
@PurpCat @Kerosene @coolboymew Gunpei Yokoi in spinning in his grave right now.
@Kerosene It's probably running on some PC hardware and is only running these games via some PICO-like fantasy console.
@coolboymew @Kerosene Someone needs to copy my idea (anyone is free to do so by the way). They would make millions.
We are thrilled to announce the public availability of Fairplayer for Faircamp, the first step in our vision of a #decentralized #music platform.
After a few months of building, and the generous help of artists who have participated in our trial period, https://fairplayer.band is open to the world. If you are an artist that has a #Faircamp site, or someone wanting to listen to music from independent artists, come and tell us what you think!
Special thanks to @radisolar @blankfosk @helenbellmusic @maciac @sofisoft @kidlightbulbs @aymanhamad @laribal @txels @james @Omar @choan who have already contributed their music in this very early stage!
