matrix.org/ecosystem/cl... not saying these alternatives are bad, but some UX/UI choices are bad to use.

...than it's competitor Discord or the FOSS ones. Now the closure of this platform means the source code will cease to exist and merge with its big brother company Roblox.

Can there be a FOSS alternative be out there which is Discord feature rich and actually good? Matrix is going in this direction

This platform was truly a good alternative to Discord until Roblox made it worse.

I opted out when I needed to link a Roblox account to it when they announced it.

One of the worse things I hate, this alternative was in many ways better in feature compatibility...

Sometimes I do wonder if those rage bait people are actually real people or they could be bots on the internet creating all the fuss, the dead internet theory isn't that far fetched.

For more lore expansion the genv showed a lot of cool ideas about the history of Goldolkin, it looked to me that the last 3 episodes were rushed because of time constraints or budgets being cut.

If you don't watch the show you don't miss anything when returning to the boys and that is a waste.

Tbh the series started half the show pretty good and then they messed up on execution. It was like Amazon had chosen to direct the show instead of what Erik Krypke wanted.

No character arcs were mildly interesting, voice acting was bad and compared to the boys nothing really happened in second seas

In some way yes, I think if you want to create your prototype to a full game you need to get the idea to the masses. You can use some techniques to figure out who your audience might be and then try to gather feedback from them.

Using a mendelow matrix could help visualize it.

Follow up thought, do we know some good EU based alternatives for servers?

ultimateownsz / Danilo @ultimateownsz.bsky.social · 7d

How convenient AWS is down and most services we use are down too. Might be wise to check out alternatives that run on EU based servers?

Does this account for having ideas turn into duplicates on accident but different in types of writing the problem

You shouldn't say sorry for taking a break from online to recharge yourself offline. Having a break from it is totally okay🙏

I think a lot of things is being ignorant, making the AI do the job instead of doing it yourself is making yourself dumber as an end result. I am mildly excited next week for the next Halo games but using AI isn't that much productive imo

Sounds like some interesting features! Is the camera like ingame? Like a photo mode or is it more needed for actual gameplay

I've been very trapped inside perfectionism and addiction in Satisfactory. How fun the game is and all I want to put my time and energy back in game development again.. Let's start tomorrow with the basics and testing some ideas out.

ultimateownsz / Danilo @ultimateownsz.bsky.social · 16d

I tried to do so either but like others pointed out, your out of luck if you aren't on X. The account hasn't much following so it may not end up hurting you much I hope

I try to keep a sticky note somewhere nearby my desk that is in my point of view that says, keep it simple stupid. Helps me remind myself to ease of my thought process when It becomes too complex.

And another thing is make use of a task list to digest big ideas into smaller sections. Gamifying it

Sometimes I try to refresh my bluesky feed out of curiosity or is it because I got hooked to the notion that I needed to see new news coming in. Its crazy to think that my obsession for information had led to this constant need of thoughts of others.

Just some of my own personal thoughts I had.
