4 panel meme. Man is being shouted by everything in an office. Man puts bear costume on. Bear walking through woods, there is a small hole visible. Bear sleeping with other bears in a hole.
Did something happen? Time to return back to the rock
railworks2 1 minute ago Since Roblox is all about preventing bad actors from doing bad things Why in the world can a 5 year old send a 25 year old a Roblox friend connection request and that is just a thing I can accept? Why does Roblox not do any basic warnings or prompts for this sort of thing? Surely if you wanted to help prevent bad actors you’d do something more proactive and easier to do? No?
:3
A long thread from railworks2 on the DevForums complaining the changes. He talks about legal reporting being removed and the expected impact from his time as a moderator
Two replies from one Roblox Staff in response to the previous reply. They note some details about a mistake in my reply as well as how owners could in the future be able to see all chats.
A retrospective showing the original comment as well as an extensive reply highlighting that what we expected has happened and will continue to happen.
I told Roblox this was going to go wrong
Roblox replied to me telling me basically nothing
Roblox did it anyway. The results are obvious and expected.

James... I can't believe you've done this to me
I am now burdened for life with this information
At the same time, such groups massively increase the workload needed to handle these sorts of cases in a way which doesn't help the people at the core of these cases, the victims and the people hurting those victims
Roblox just needs to communicate more, 15 min response times are great but not said
These reports are released a while ago and don't represent that content creator, it just flagged me to check if it has been posted
Realistically the existence of a vigilante group is a failure of both Roblox and law enforcement, it's a failure of both systems if it has to exist
Screenshot showing two of Roblox's California AB 587 transparency reports. On the left is Q1 and Q2 2024 and on the right is Q3 and Q4 2024. On the left is a number of tables showing data behind Roblox's Terms, on the right is Roblox's Terms of Use and little of anything else
Roblox has now decided it does not give a shit about the good thing it's done for a year by quietly giving absolutely zero data how well their moderation team has done in some key areas
My brain just went Point of Sale
Same vibe as that, tell the user this persons DMs are open and sending a friend request is not required
You know it’s a great start to a Monday when you’re woken up at 5am by some house alarms going off and you can’t quite get back to sleep
Happy Friday
Now that's awesome, you can now exploit your own place to test anti exploits

Graph showing CCUs over the last 48 hour period. Highlighted is a peak at 15:00 BST which shows concurrent users hit 8,373,094
Steam charts for PUBG which showed the all time player count peak of 3,257,248
Big congrats to all of the team behind Grow a Garden for hitting a massive 8.373 million CCU
For some context, this is 2.57x the peak CCU of PUBG back in 2018 when it launched, the highest CCU in Steam records.
Now that is the power of #Roblox
Oh well, back to writing code. It's going well, it's nice writing some fun micro websites
Can confirm I'm still alive, it's nice to be doing other things
At the same time, it's fun to see what has changed in the Roblox space; so I visited Twitter for the first time in 6 months, turns out very little has changed. Too many people are still there, what will it take? No idea
TBF AI is a drug so an editor focused entirely around using a drug to be more “productive” is a pretty easy way to ruin a generation of developers and cause them to be dependent on AI forever
Screenshot of a Mastodon post showing a Lua ruler in someone’s hand. The post says “Here, take a Lua ruler! It starts with one!”
You know, Roblox should absolutely make this a gift item. That or I make it myself

That's pretty awesome, players can now give feedback directly.
Thanks Roblox

The worst part for me is that getting PIP is a requirement for other things like the disabled railcard
I was disabled enough as a child to get PIP, exam adjustments, disabled student allowance, but today I’m not considered disabled enough and thus I lose my disabled railcard access
I will say it's great to see RDC announced with plenty of time.
But I don't know about it being a 2 day affair again. It just feels too short, and I'm happy the replies say that.
With the current state of the US? Doubt I'll want to travel

Damn Im not in the photo
Finally, Roblox is continuing to seek acquisitions and investments. Roblox in concerned about US v China due to Luobu. No change in dividends.
Roblox continues to lease the old HQ offices, ending between 2027 and 2031.

(Slight tangant, the title's wording is a bit confusing, it's a list of girl scouts who are trans but are not just transwomen, includes our enbies and transmen too)
Sadly I don't get the joy of ordering Girl Scout cookies from here in the UK.
But if you do and you're from the US, here's a list of 100 Girl Scounts you should totally order from

Happy birthday, here’s a meme involving a cat, best of both worlds
