Apple Sports Is Not Good#leancrew.com

In basketball, for example, the box score statistics are thin. There’s no info on free throws, steals, blocks, turnovers, or personal fouls. League standings are missing common stats like the home/away record, record over the last 10 games, and win/loss streaks, These are things fans want and that other sports apps provide. No amount of beautiful presentation is going to make up for missing data.

And, weirdly for an Apple app, the presentation isn’t beautiful—it’s actually awful.

The app isn't available yet in Australia and it clearly needs some work.

Leisure Activities#ajkprojects.com

You aren’t famous. Anything you do or create will probably receive little to no attention, so stop optimizing for a non-existent audience and instead focus on what makes you enjoy the activity.

Want to try a craft or artistic hobby? Focus on mastering the skill and enjoy the variety it can provide. You don’t need to build a personal style. No one will care. Want to do photography and think black and white photos are cool? Great! You don’t need to create an Instagram branded all around your moody black and white photos. Most likely you’ll get bored of it and want to try a different type of photography, and that’s great. You aren’t Ansel Adams, no one will care if your “style” is all over the place.

Two paragraphs that I 100% agree with.

Game Emulators On iOS#macrumors.com

Just as alternative app stores are allowed (in certain regions) Apple starts allowing emulators.

Coincidence . I think not.

Here's the direct link to download it.

I searched for the app and it's buried quite low even if you directly search for "Delta - Game Emulator".

Coincidence . I think not.

Tunic

I've had a fantastic experience with Tunic in the past week.

It's a game where you're truly left clueless. You need to figure out how to solve the puzzles, find items and beat bosses without any in game help.

It does make me think about how this style of game suits my interests. I like the challenge of the game mechanics being kind of vague. I want there to be secrets within secrets. It makes you go out of your way to do the research and to get good.

Just getting to the next section of the game and levelling up gives you that awesome sense of satisfaction.

The game is also so beautiful. The colours and lighting effects pop.
