It looks like a VR tech demo that they decided to change into a non-vr game.

If it were me I would add a giant creature into it that has a personality depending on how I and the villagers treat it. Maybe change the name to something that rhymes with "Back and Kite" and slap a number on it, the number 3 feels right for some reason.

I've no doubt a previous employer of mine would get us to sign a bit of paper saying we're happy to be contacted outside of our working hours, and being told it's mandatory to sign it.

Surely this is better than the crypto/NFT tech fad. At least there is some output from the generative AI that could be beneficial to the whole of humankind rather than lining a few people's pockets?

I suspect they do have in-house QA, although it is likely a small team, and even when they do identify a bug the Devs don't have sufficient time to fix them.

An opt-in test environment is great for testing new features to get feedback and it's the right move, you can't have an internal team determine if a new feature is great for the player base, it'd be like Arrowhead giving itself a pat on the back for coming up with a great idea.

Give Deep Space Nine a go if you haven't it's the slightly darker side of trek.

It would be cool if it included other names for things. E.g. Kubernetes can also be known as K8s. Also not too mobile friendly when looking at more info. Besides that it is an interesting concept!

Set it to UK if that link isn't working for you

I decided to give the gold place breaking video a watch and although these people are skilled, I just don't quite get the "this is the current peak of human physical fitness/skill" that we see from other sports. Diving, Rowing, BMXing, even synchronised swimming were all really impressive. I wonder if Breaking will make a return?

Lager people and Betting Shop people are not necessarily bad, refer to the racists currently rioting as Fascists.

I love this film, it's so stupid but so quotable. I watch it every couple of years.

Instances are great, but are also a problem for onboarding.

Is there a single point of entry for people now? I can imagine there being a website people could go to that asks a few simple questions and sorts (or load balances) people to certain instances. This would of course need some way for people to transfer their accounts in the future should they not be happy with their instance. Additionally each instance would need to have some kind of API call for the single point of entry to create the accounts You could even have a simple survey to gauge people's interests to help them in the community filtering process and present the mobile apps that are available.

Just some thoughts of course on how it might be possible to improve the users first experience.

Is the onboarding experience any better? I remember the initial process of joining Lemmy felt very shady and not user friendly. That can be a massive deterrent for people joining. Then on top of that having to filter out all the communities that are not to my taste.

Overall it was a messy non-user friendly experience, but now that I'm here I'm happy.
