Omg, I had this one when I was a kid. It was amazing to look at, but really boring after the first two rounds. Hardly anything to play with. I felt like an outsider.
I'm using the web version for mobile and video is sometimes screwy here too. Like it freezes but the sound keeps playing. I thought it was my browser doing weird shit.
Additional data, thumbnails seem to be loading poorly also, I guess it's a server side issue. Needs to be in an app status display rather than having to hunt around for it on the web.
Do you think the work would actually get done faster if all those people grabbed a shovel and got in Dave's way? And who would do those people's jobs while they're in the way of Dave? Maybe Dave's job is the bottleneck to everyone else's job?
Had one of these in the pile of old toys at my grandma's. As a little kid I would tinker with it when we visited. I was so excited when I got a little older and was able to work out how to actually arrange all the pieces and got it to run properly.
Yeah, you could do different layouts and its sorta simple logic programming to get everything to work right, i wanted one really bad from the commercials but after playing with it at someone elses house i got pretty bored with it pretty quick. Back to LEGOs. Still LEGOs all these years later.
It's all fairly simple mechanical actions for incredible longevity - if treated well plus its repairable. I bet there's a new version that has some electrickery and an app that's gonna fritz out the second time you change the battery and wont be supported after a few years.

The fact it's all run off a single motor is whats blowing my mind RN.

Is the Android app being screwy with video for anyone else?

Ok seems like a cdn or server issue then.

It's the ads. Started to use an adblocker and this app has worked flawlessly since. It's wild honestly.

Not for me, but I keep seeing Trump ads on various posts?!?

Growing up I always thought this was a rather inefficient method of moving the marbles around. I was a weird kid. And now here we are.

This is exactly what happened to America's economy.

That's why I ask how much office work is real work?

michiyl
But is there only that one thing to do right now? Nothing else needs to be prepared, dug or build together?
CyberHexx
It can happen.

No way, *my* grandma had these as well!

Oh, I was trying to figure out what the "play" involves. It's the puzzle of assembly!

If a friend had this growing up, they were considered rich.

Please no. Not again. This shit is more addictive than lava lamps.

Is that why there is also a prescription bottle on the table?

Might be a repair hobby. Had a friend that repaired phones and would have a bunch of dead phones lying around for parts.
