  • The developers behind the mega-popular game Roblox are facing a firestorm of controversy after banning a popular YouTuber from the platform.

    The user, known as “Schlep,” worked to expose predators on the Roblox platform after himself being the victim of a developer who allegedly groomed him for years, according to his attorneys.

    The law firm says Schlep’s actions led to the arrests of six individuals who had allegedly groomed young users on the platform, but Roblox has now banned him from the platform and served with cease-and-desist letters, according to the firm.

    In the most technical way, that green is what you would get.

    If you blend the colors with a gradient, you get these, which to me feels like a more natural blend:

    More muddied and dull versus the technically correct color.

    It’s a play on how real skin color tends to work. Most of the time, (but not always,) the child tends to get a skin shade somewhere between the parents. Just like if you averaged the colors.

    Using that same logic, the second pencils would have expected a yellowish-blue baby. Instead they got the technically correct, but unexpected color of green.

    The joke comes from how colors are mixed. Red and white will always make pink but green and blue make different colors depending on if you’re adding or subtracting colors.

    Additive color (RGB) is when you shine red green and blue flashlights at a wall. If all three meet, you get white light.

    Subtractive color (CMY) is where you add pigments to a surface that absorb certain colors. Adding cyan, magenta, and yellow pigments results in a black surface since all light gets absorbed. (Normally it’s CMYK for printing where K is black so you can get deeper blacks)
