He’s a great developer and a shitty producer. When he’s in charge of his own projects there’s nobody holding him accountable and it just spirals into madness and then halfway through when all the hard and fun work of really designing the game is complete, and all that’s left is the boring business of production and finishing the damn thing, he just ADHDs off into the distance chasing the next cool idea/design challenge
Somehow he’s able to keep funding that arrangement, so it hasn’t changed.
The winner of the cube game got to be the “god” of Peters next game which was an MMO-like thing. Only after he won his prize the studio kind of forgot about it and just moved on so he never really won anything
There’s a really good piece about it but I don’t recommend reading it, it’s just frustrating and predictablely shitty behaviour
No not yet, there’s no synchronous multiplayer on Switch
Yes, that’s how I know it has legs.
From usenet to reddit, the internet spaces that began by attracting a critical mass of internet/tech experts and enthusiasts are always the ones that end up going the distance.
You don’t want to rush this place going mainstream, I promise. Enjoy it while it lasts.
I remember Armagetron always getting fired up at LANs when I was at uni, 2005ish
Growth for growths sake doesn’t help anybody
It feels like reddit from ten years ago, and has the critical mass to make it interesting to open and browse. I think it’s a success.
I only use reddit now on revanced rif to visit a couple of communities that are too small to be worth replicating here yet
Agreed, the data concern is a red herring. Might as well do a “I hereby revoke consent for Facebook to take my data…” post for all the good it will do you.
Block Threads because of the potential impact it can have on the quality of experience here. That’s a good enough reason. Nobody joined a lemmy so that they could keep in touch with people who use social media to gossip about brands and influencers.
If threads scoops up all the people who turned twitter and reddit into celebrity gossip meme ghettos and keeps them in the shallow end of the pool then everybody wins
Who does that select for though.
Those with the most time? The most money? The most aggressive approach?
Competition doesn’t tend to produce holistic quality; only efficiency.
ActivityPub or whatever BlueSky calls theirs could end up being the perfect protocols for truly Public online spaces, managed by governments in the same sense that they manage public meatspace
If you’re happy to pay whatever it costs to host then there’s no other disadvantage to this.
The only thing I can think of is if you somehow end up at odds with an admin of a big instance and they defederate your instance. Or perhaps in the future major instances decide to only federate with instances of a certain size, for some as of now unpredictable reason
