    Ah! It does suck losing on a small difference.

    I tried to remove cities that are around the same geographical area to fix this. In doing so, it is less likely that you get asked the temperature difference between « neighboring cities » like Brussels and Amsterdam. Those feel like a coin toss.

    Good idea. Although, implementing a live cam at each of the 200+ places seems quite optimistic! I already had trouble sourcing the photos for these and I’m not 100% sure that each photo corresponds to the city it’s associated with.

    Indeed, the temperatures are the current ones and part of the fun for me is discovering where each city / country is, what time it is currently over there, and what “season” they are currently at.

    Hey tilderinos, I've unearthed this project / game of mine after a discussion with a friend yesterday. I wanted to show him this game I made but it got broken because the Teleport API was deprecated and thus it was less fun if we can't at least have an image representing the city.

    And now it's back. With better balancing (less US cities, less Europe cities, more varied set of cities, more wildcards) since I am not limited to what the Teleport cities API gives anymore. Plus I fixed that bug that keeps happening with Bali. I was using rectangles and apparently the "bounding rectangle" of Bali pointed to the ocean making the temperature reading much lower than what is the fair temperature.

    What was a project that was just to buff up my CV ended up one of the games I enjoyed developing. And now with AI assistance, I can balance the game (or at least feel to have balanced it) despite my lack of geography trivia.

    Great creative idea! I miss these kinds of low stakes funny threads from other Tildes-like sites that I frequented before. I admit I’m not the biggest film buff but:

    • Indiana Jones getting hit by a bus after succesfully escaping the rolling boulder.
    • Batman would be so different if his parents got hit by a bus instead. He would be a vigilante against drivers not paying attention.
    • Jaws getting hit by a bus would not change the plot too much. It will just be a random funny moment.
    • Rapunzel from Tangled, being sheltered all her life, could have gotten hit by a bus. But then Mother Knows Best would not be a duet.

    That’s all I have so far.

    • This was the original and I learned this from Second Hand Songs, a website collecting covers!

    And also, here's my somehow dated Spotify playlist of "Wrong Genre" Covers.

    I am pretty much “low contact” with most social media.

    I would prefer no contact, but since I have too many international friends I feel like removing social media accounts completely is equivalent to losing contact with them.

    So yeah. I am a little bit everywhere. Facebook/Insta for my Asian and American friends, WhatsApp Telegram for Europe, Discord for gamers, and some Signal for those who bother. Most of them are muted anyway.

    Gotta kick the Reddit habit since I only go to AITA anyway.

    And I have my YouTube habits sorta under control with RSS feeds anyway.
