My nephews were playing some RNG game on Roblox today, so I sat down and watched. I asked them what the objective was; what are they trying to accomplish? They said: "uhh I don't know" Truly fascinating. It's just gambling with no end goal? I'm so confused by it.

An outage of this long is unacceptable. I feel frustrated, but I also understand the engineers working the problem are probably stressed beyond belief too. I also fully expect a public report about what happened and what will prevent it happening again.

Had a little fun changing up my kart system last night. I got rid of the whole physics kart & just use a simple box now. The visual kart model is pivoted over top of it, which also lets me add effects onto it, such as shaking, tilting, and flipping. Ends up being really easy.
