Listened to one of the live commentating streams on Twitch last night, blaseball_radio2, and it was pretty good. Someone has also been working on an automated commentary robot on Twitch that basically reads the update box when it changes. There is some cool stuff going on there. My team finished dead last, but I am still excited for playoffs to start in about 35 minutes.

Play ball!

I was under the impression that I'd inadvertently chosen to follow the chill Jimmy Buffet dad team. Turns out, I appear to have inadvertently joined the chill Jimmy Buffet communist dad team.

Keepin' it wavy

Folks in the Tigers discord chat seem largely in favour of letting the Fridays take Keeping it Wavy, everyone was pretty pleased when they got it last election.

Tacos are going hard for Soul Swap. We certainly can't get worse.

This close to picking a new favorite team. Especially since my wife is Spy or Die.

New interview article with The Game Band about their design process for Blaseball.

Hey everyone! Just got around to joining this thread.

FYI as soon as I got addicted to Blaseball I started writing an app for watching games.

I'm waiting on doing one more technical fix before more widely publishing it but in the meantime you can use the web version here.

As soon as the latest stuff is live in the app stores I'll let you know.

Also FYI, I made a #blaseball channel on the Slack if you want to chat there. The official Discord is just too much to follow so it'd be nice to have some blaseball chat with a smaller circle of people.

The drama this week is necromancy.

When the Forbidden Book was opened after the first election, it was accompanied by the first incineration, of Jaylen Hotdogfingers.

This week, the new mechanic was that we can now pick a player as our idol, with an accompanying leaderboard of the most popular players. One of the blessings is "Lottery Pick" which steals the 14th most idolized player in the league. Someone figured out that incinerated players can be idolized.

Therefore, people started a campaign to put Jaylen Hotdogfingers at position #14.

This took the commissioner by surprise.

My wife and I decided last week that it would be more fun to root for the same team together. We landed on the Crabs because of their back story, player names, and geographic proximity. So excited for tomorrow!

Yeah, I'm really digging the Jaylen thing.

As for rooting for the same team, my wife, another friend, and I are all rooting for different teams and it makes it fun for me anyway, since we chirp each other if we're playing, and then root for each other if we're not. And having 3 different teams to watch means there's a better chance of having at least someone to root for in the playoffs...

I liked that, too. But both of our teams were so bad they weren't going to see playoffs anytime soon. We'll probably switch up again after a while.

Officially announced! Blases Loaded for iOS, Android, and web:

Great job, Rangerrick!

I am also ready to announce the 0.0.1 release of my Blaseball programming project: Blaseball Playoff Status. I have contributed to the cultural event of Blaseball!

Didn't know this was here! Started following the Mexico City Wild Wings in Season 4 and holy moly! We won the Championship this past season!! Honestly, I can say that following the games on Saturday on the Wild Wings Discord channel was one of the best experiences of the last few years. Such a great community.

WHEELS UP!!! R.I.V.

Yay! That is when I joined, too. Claws up!

Got the winning magic number calculations, table colors, and better navigation done. Just in time for siesta, of course. Working on party time table now. Todo list is in the source repo readme.

I got added to the list of projects on sibr.dev, which makes me smile.

Now officially a cultural event, covered by NPR.

Made a bunch of updates this week. Now there party time numbers should work. I added an 'About' page. The data will automatically refresh if the browser tab is active, and the site remembers your last view when you refresh. I had to do most of my math testing locally with unit tests. Fingers crossed it all works against the live site tomorrow.

Amoebic, TheHarpoMarxist, and I made this:

More to come?

I added a playoff spot predictor table. I can't be 100% sure it will work until the next season, but all of my tests look good. *fingers crossed*
I also added team emoji to the table rows, because they are cute.

Next big change planned is post season content. A prediction table like the regular season one, and maybe some kind of nice looking bracket that updates as the games are played.

Blaseball will return 2/22! Probably*

A summary of the Discipline Era:

Adding four teams in the middle of a season really broke my fan site math. But I finally got all of those issues fixed and made some visual improvements. Hoping to start incorporating live post season data or generate some live charts next.

This summary is great, the accent really adds to it.

It was also great 2 posts ago

Wow, I am so sorry!

Deserves to be posted twice, though.

Another one for Falsehoods Programmers Believe about Blaseball.

SIBR presents: FALSEHOODS PROGRAMMERS BELIEVE ABOUT BLASEBALL

1. There are four bases.
2. A strikeout is three strikes.
3. A walk is four balls.
4. Scores are a positive number.
5. Scores are an integral number.
6. The game ends when a team is mathematically unable to win.

I contributed one of those falsehoods when they started to randomly add or remove "wins" and messed up my code.
