We had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Chris Raynor recently and had a lovely conversation about his practice, YouTube channel, Family life and so much more.

Obviously the #zeebo flopped, espechally due to #Qualcomm's #BREW #OS ¹ which is basically '#JavaMobile but worse in order to circumvent #SoftwarePatents' whilst also having dogshit performance and being hard to develop for or even port games to, making it even worse than #Gizmondo or #NGage which used #J2ME.

Making the #OUYA look like a piece of perfection in comparison, because that #cube didn't cost 20x more to port games to but merely demanded the (OUYA-exclusive) #GameController #API (which predates the later #Android-Standardized one!) to be supported, which is closer to a #patch than a #redevelopment!

But even in a starved market like #Brazil most households weren't gonna dump over 1 month minimum wage on an aging #3G-#Cellphone with composite video and 6-button #USB #controllers.

Also who thought that announcing a price cut before launch was a good idea in a time the "Osbourne Effect" was already well known?

So yeah, blame Qualcomm for this shitshow...

To add insult to injury, #piracy on it is rampant... and the #PS2 whipped it's ass around town cuz it even as #import #console like the #PlayStation2 could shaft them in spite of #tariffs because by that point #Sony closed their books on that platform and didn't give a fuck about #piracy, only allowing pre-agreed licensees like #EA to still shove out their games for it.

And lets be honest, #Edutainment is not a cash cow because in places like #Mexico it's way easier to get even cheaper #PC|s due to #NAFTA #FreeTrade (i.e. all the stuff #refurbishers couldn't sell in the #USA anymore got offered there before being sold further south...

Really sad, cuz if the Zeebo was like a €50 box, it could've been a smash hit, so it died due to lack of resources...

Needless to say the Zeebo is the strongest argument for #StopKillingGames as these devices are nearly useless these days and piracy is the only way to get / change games on it and play them these days.

Also respect to Derek from #SSFF for playing the entire Zeebo catalogue tho there's nothing to ride home about...

Nowadays the nieche of the zeebo is served by cheap #PCs for #gaming even cheaper #Android devices and (aside from few stores like #Steam that managed to upstell a #DRM as a #feature), rampant #piracy to the point that #MobileGaming outside of #iOS is basically dead unless we account #PayToLoose #Shovelware of the "#DisguisedGambingGame" kind as "#Gaming" which is an insult even for #gambling, because there at least in theory, with a honest operator the chance of winning is greater than zero (tho I'd still disrecommend it because no gambling game is *"fair" beyond the theoretical chance of winning by the rules)...

#tech

today I remembered the existence of an ancient edutainment game called Kid CAD. Windows 3.1. Yes, I'm at least that old.

Had one heck of a time trying to find more info about it so I could give people visuals instead of yammering on trying to describe from early 90s memories. (Try "Davidson Kid CAD" for best results)

Let's see how many people recognize this just from the thumbnail.

And for thems of you willing to try getting Win3.1 stuff running, the good ol' Internet Archive has you covered: https://archive.org/details/davidsonkidcad

Morgen ist es soweit, da halte ich zum letzten mal in diesem Jahr und auch zum letzten mal in der Kaiserpassage in #Goslar meinen Vortrag Ein heiterer Streifzug durch die Geschichte der Computer.
Eingeladen ist jeder, ob man von #Technik Ahnung hat oder nicht - jeder wird etwas aus dem #Edutainment Vortrag mitnehmen!
So zum Beispiel einen Code für US #Atomwaffen - oder warum es sinnvoll sein kann #Kinder mit zu Arbeit nehmen zu dürfen!
Um 16:00 geht es los!

I'm nervous like a school child having uploaded my first mini #zine (after 40 yrs), with my alien caressing #moss and building #mycelium: https://ko-fi.com/s/700d3d3138 - buying it, you also help me with some ugly bills (see my goal on #kofi).
More about my #zines + how to fold them: https://www.cronenburg.net/zines/
Have fun! I'm sketching the next!

«Денег нет, но держите ачивку»: почему геймификация это про систему и цифры, а не веселье ради веселья

«Геймификация в тренде? Давайте сделаем маскота, модный стиль и что-нибудь весёлое для сотрудников. Говорят, это повышает продуктивность!» Знакомо? Так часто начинается история, где HR получает новые KPI, а сотрудники — головную боль. Компании заваливают людей контентом и задачами, но забывают об ограниченности внимания. Люди идут за смыслом и отдачей, а не ради «молодёжного вайба». Геймификация не про превращение всего в игру, а инженерия поведения и система правил, помогающая людям двигаться к нужным действиям: учиться, завершать процессы, не бросать начатое. Всем привет! Меня зовут Григорий Волчков, я EdTech-продакт, преподаватель НИУ ВШЭ и автор Telegram-канала « Netflix в сфере образования ». Совместно с SENSE мы уже записывали подкаст про геймификацию на практике ( часть 1 и часть 2 ). Теперь я собрал серию статей о том, как устроена геймификация с технической стороны: какие у неё метрики, из чего состоит система и почему за «веселыми играми» стоит работа «аналитиков-душнил». В первой статье — основы: ключевые модели, драйверы вовлечённости и кейсы, которые показывают, почему деньги лишь одна из частей более сложной мотивационной системы.

Wow, if you you are not a physicist, but would still like to learn more about the advances of our understanding about the universe, I recommend the visually supported video by #AlessandroRoussel, theoretical physicist and applied mathematician.

You will learn about bosons, string theory, and the like in an entertaining way.

Guys, I'm absolutely thrilled by the inspiring, exciting and personal comments I've received here in response to my query about #zines. That's what I love so much about the Fediverse!

I'm itching to get started again. And my head is buzzing with ideas.

Our museum has objects whose sometimes bizarre histories I often cannot adequately reveal during guided tours. Imagine zines in the museum, where these objects tell their own stories, kids making their zines.
