Dienekes used to makes composite photos of World Cup soccer teams, back before European teams became heavily immigrant. You might be able to obtain his photos from 2002.

I tried the game and it's fun! It's very morish. After ten pairs I wanted another ten but ten was the limit. I got one bullseye and was better on the Scandi and Eurasian faces than say, black people and the rest of the world. My average score was just over 2,000 but I'm sure I can beat that tomorrow!

Interesting.

I scored an average of 2080 over 10 rounds. Will try to remember to go back tomorrow.

Great job. Of course there's the non-visible blood types, hypoxia resistance, twitch muscle type, cold resistance, endurance ...

Before I even start reading this piece I have to say that whoever it is who chooses or creates the pictures at the top of Aporia's articles does a brilliant job. They are the best of any Substack or other website I subscribe to.

Is there a serious purpose to this game or is it just entertainment?

A recognition that another person was developing the same game since late 2024 (showing gameplay already but delayed out of perfectionism) - ethnoguessr.online - would have been appreciated especially as I gave you a shoutout when you released yours and proposed to merge our features.

I had no idea about your game, I developed mine solo in 2 weeks, and I find it perverse that you are clamouring for attention when you are plagiarizing all of my work down to the phrasing of the game completion popup.

At some point it's hard to give different phrasing but I tried. What I did plagiarize was your introduction to the game - this was very good, but I credited you when I did. But well, look at the game and see, as I said since the beginning and still on the website: I was/am ready to merge with all the features I have and to prove my honesty by my dedication to the project's idea itself.

Yes of course, I am frustrated to not have gotten the hype while I really care about the game itself - this is on me.
