I made a new (short) #TTRPG ! It's a two-player storytelling game where one player is a mechanical fortune-teller who only knows the future, and the other a lost and lonely seeker who only knows the past.

I feel like a core problem is that they don’t know what they don’t know, so they’re not interested in reading a long blog post about how standards really work. Can they be helped? If so, how?
This is more of a meta question, but, IME I encounter a lot of newbies posting irrelevant stuff on standards-related GitHub issues. They usually seem to think that by clear, forceful arguments they can force browsers to do what they ask. (XSLT 3, for example.) How best to help them?
I think restricting it to home screen web apps could be ok if there were a way to ask users to install to the home screen. Something like the App Store smart banner would be just fine. But on iOS the user simply has to know how to do it, a multi step process, and only then can we offer a push prompt

I think asking in public was a good idea, but now that this article is out there, and flagged, and now that you've posted a followup, I think it's time to email HN and ask. The story will be much stronger with an addendum: "I emailed Hacker News asking about the flag, and they declined to comment."
I did a bunch of research into this for the definition of Baseline, and we settled on “30 months from the newly available date.” Would you want more precision? What would you use/need the precision for?

Cool! Is it OK for Choice of Games to cross-post it to our other socials? Would you like credit? (We'd definitely credit @pudica.bsky.social)
Nice! Did you commission this from @pudica.bsky.social?

Reviewing copyeditor changes and tried to leave a comment saying "MUCH BETTER THANK YOU!"
Instead I typed "MUCH BETTER THAN YOU!"
Oops. Sorry, @laura-hirsb.bsky.social. Even the revised sentence can't be better *than* you.
Sorry I put aviator sunglasses on the baby Jesus in your nativity scene and started singing “Highway to the manger zone.”
Luigi Mangione, who was arrested and charged with murder in the shooting death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, once belonged to a group of Ivy League gamers who played assassins, a member of the group told NBC News. In the game, called "Among Us," some players are secretly assigned to be killers in space who perform other tasks while trying to avoid suspicion from other players.

Neither do you.
