  • I’m invested because higher adoption of my preferred platform causes prices of said platform to drop, making the platform economically attractive to develop for.

    Fewer users causes less effort to go into the platform by larger corporations due to lower revenue streams, diminishing updates and feature count over time.

    Eventually, users leave due to pain points not being addressed. Shrinking user bases causes independent developer talent to focus on other platforms since the economics no longer work in the marginal case.

    The shrinking independent developer contributions to the ecosystem make the required effort to develop for it that much higher, since the tools and apps that would have been built weren’t.

    Higher development costs slow down feature pacing, due to the increased effort needed to substitute the efforts of missing ecosystem developers.

    Lack of feature cadence drives users to other platforms, shrinking the user base, bringing us back to step 1.









  • A simulator for callping customer support. The goal is to eventually talk to God, or the simulation creator, or whatever supreme being is responsible for this mess.

    The game takes place entirely in your apartment. You’re equipped with a phone book and a corded phone with a long cord. it’s the 80s or 90s. You have to carry out various troubleshooting tasks that get more insane as you punch through layers of bureaucracy. You also have to manage your anger meter otherwise you risk cursing and the cs agent hangs up on you.

    Days should progress kinda like persona 5, and there should be a time limit. The stakes should be comically low.

    Save points involve getting callback numbers after you’ve got to a higher level of management.

    My wife and I tried a poly phase (neither of us ended up liking anyone else lol) and while on dating apps I found 27 to be the minimum and upper 40’s to be the max. I realized that there was no real way to connect and relate to someone in a totally different phase of life.
