this is the best breakdown I’ve seen of the dark arts behind Block Blast!, the most downloaded mobile game in the world last year intentionally making players lose to optimize which ads they see, the sophistication behind such a “simple” game is stunning.

Microsoft has filed a patent for ads that could interrupt games after boss fights, cutscenes, quests and multiplayer rounds Players would receive credits granting temporary game access, while watching an ad would award another credit to let them resume

September 11, 2001 has been a very rough and busy day, so by popular request I’m making a single thread with the day’s highlights: 1. 8:46 AM: the world was shocked by a surprise crash at the World Trade Center, initially perceived to be a small plane but soon discovered to be a deliberate jet collision.
This is just coming in: there appears to be a major fire on the upper floors of one of the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. Reports claim that a small plane, either a Cessna or a private jet, accidentally flew into the tower around the 80th floor, due to either an air traffic control communications error or a malfunction on the aircraft. The dozens of victims are in our thoughts. We will continue to monitor rescue and repair surrounding this alarming accident.

Just over 50 years ago in Nashville I was working for K95FM in Tulsa and attended the country music radio convention where I met @DollyParton She squeezed me so hard hugging me while giggling. She said that she loves a man with “meat on his bones.” What a sweetheart.

OMG THIS. This so much. I’ve talked about this so much, that feeling you get walking towards an arcade. The sounds getting louder and that feeling like you walked through a magical portal as soon as you enter and the game sounds envelope your senses. The butterflies and excitement walking in. I know it gets tiresome at times to hear old people gush about arcades, but there was nothing like it. I miss them so much and so genuinely wish those who missed out could experience what they were like. One of the best “second homes” anyone could have if you found the right arcade.

We’re all trying to find the guy who did this!
Putting a 33-year-old Mike Evans next to the electrical substation of death is tempting the gods in a way that he never deserved.

Time for the Hall of Fame to evolve and induct Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper together. C’mon. Take a page from the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame and honor one of the best shows in MLB history.

Kruk & Kuip aren’t just broadcasters. They’re part of the fabric of The City. SF will never sound the same once Krukow retires. His absence will be felt.
Replying to @DamonBruce
Kruk & Kuip are the epitome of..."I've spent more time listening to them over the past 35 years than my wife"

The Hall of Fame has been strict about not letting broadcasters go in together, and both Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper have fallen short when they've been on the ballot individually. Hopefully it's something the Hall reconsiders ... Kruk and Kuip should go in together.

What if LeBron didn't pick a team, T. What if he played one game for every team. He can't play every game for every team, obviously that's not possible, even with computers. But he could play once for each of them, even Charlotte.
