don't give the daily quest "Follow a Game Jolt Creator" to users who already follow at least 2 Game Jolt Creators


more often than not, these users can't keep up with following more people, so to complete this daily quest they follow a Game Jolt Creator and then they press the Follow button again so they don't follow the creator.

on the quester's side, the list of people they follow does not change. but the Creator — if they turned on "New Follower" notifications — gets spammed with a lot of deceptive "this user follows you" notifications, each from a different quester.

※ giving this quest to people who will not want to follow more people to keep their mind healthy causes this social bug (not a programming bug) of type Perverse Incentive, and this post has a suggestion how to mitigate it

my previous avatar had my 2 mascots in them but i want to make more mascots, so they wouldn't all fit in one avatar, so i made an avatar with just my arcade player name written

Happy Trans Day of Visibility!

my favorite Mario power‑up is the ice flower.

i can turn my enemies into platforms but i have to approach them from the right angle, so i need a bit of creativity to throw my ice balls usefully
