Train Valley is surprisingly good. I like the combination of a geometry puzzle, planning which train to run when and real time pressure (you can pause, but you still have to multitask a lot).

AFAIK (and obviously not very nuanced): when you’re living in a colony, national independence (-> nationalism) can be considered “leftist” because it’s an increase in self-governance and self-determination. Black nationalism covers a lot of concepts and goals (and several centuries), from founding an actual independent nation (e.g. because the white supremacist society is seen as fundamentally broken) to promoting building independent structures by and for Black people, buying from Black owned businesses etc. As it is seen as a way to empower marginalized groups, it can be seen as leftist. Obviously, things can also become weird and/or right wing rather fast.

How many from the Left?
According to the list: one (Quintez Brown). Which is surprising, as the title says “Not one”.

Its too bad if the game collapses at some point since it really has promise.
No one denies the game has promise. The problem is that it does not have much else. Having ideas is the easy part in game development.
- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 1 month ago:
I was using the wording of OP who seems to be talking about tokens. The service asks the trusted entity if the token is valid, the trusted entity deletes the token after the first time.

Making the certs short-lived (a few minutes) and single use and having a rate limit for users could make it difficult enough with serious risks (if you make it a crime) for little profit (I doubt many kids will pay serious amounts of money to watch porn; definetly not drug-scale amounts of money).

“Kids shouldn’t be driving cars, it isn’t safe!” Yes, but somehow we have made it 100 years without requiring proof of age/license to start the car.
Driving is a much more visible activity than looking at your phone in a locked room though.

Signups + random checks to prevent reselling accounts.

They can only subpoena your data if it is stored. Make the code open source (by law) and only store the cert, no connection to the user.

How do you prevent valid certs from being sold?
Sold by whom? The created cert can be time limited and single use, so the service couldn’t really sell them. You could rate limit how many certs users can create and obviously make it illegal to share them in order to deter people from using them. That’s not enough to prevent it completetly, but should be an improvement for the use cases I hear the most about: social media (because it reduces the network effect) and porn (because kids will at least know that they’re doing some real shady shit).
- Comment on Caves of Qud wins the Hugo Award for Best Game or Interactive Work 2 months ago:
For me, “primitive” is not the main problem (though I’m getting a bit sick of pixel art), it’s more blue-green hue is off-putting. It might match the theme of an alien planet, but it lokks like it would give me headache or something.
