We had Mastodon, which worked perfectly

tbh several of my colleagues complained that they found discovering new content and/or content outside of their servers really hard, and the whole federation is just too complicated for not-technologically-minded people 🤷

(no personal experience because I don't use any microblogging platforms)

I see it as a curved sword handle on top of... idk a set top box 🤣

This really reminds me of Peter F Hamilton's novels about the Void 🙃 (Void Trilogy and Chronicle of the Fallers)

eh I'm trans, and now that I've transitioned, it's largely a neutral experience, neither good nor bad, it just is. But in my comment I meant that I think society (broadly) wouldn't be nearly as transphobic if every 5th person was trans.

Also between 30% gay/lesbian and 29% bisexual, only 41% are straight 🥴

(Ignoring asexuals, etc.)

Haha I love this. It breaks my brain, but the end result is so much simpler :D

Yea, the organisation was also founded in the 90s, so Microsoft was the default for everything.

 

I admittedly don't know much about its historical background, but I found this a fascinating read about the legacy of the nineties' Bosnian war that is still acutely felt throughout the region.

 

Following ChthonVII's idea, I'm mirroring my probably only interesting post on the subreddit :D


Finally got around to watch the 2-hours long GW1 segment of the recent Extra Life 2022 ArenaNet livestream. The devs had a lot of interesting insights and amusing anecdotes, so I made a bunch of clips - sharing them here in case someone else haven't had the time to watch the whole thing.

The participants were:

  • Bobby Stein - writing team lead

  • Darrin Claypool - level designer

  • Colin Johanson - game designer

The clips in order of appearance:

A few more bits that were too short to worth clipping:

  • Early in development there were no professions, you could slot any skill.

  • They spent 4-5 months working on Sorrow's Furnace compared to their usual couple of weeks per zone.

  • GW1 development team was around 70-80 at launch, and peaked around 100 with EotN. (GW2 had 350 developers at launch.)

Twitch only allows max. 1 min long clips, so sometimes I had to cut off an interesting follow-up - if you want to see how a clip continued, click Watch Full Video.

PS.: For the story of the hideous leopard-print couch go to this timestamp in the VoD :D
