  • This is well deserved. When the game first launched I could tell something was off about it. It obviously had a dreadful launch.

    I can’t remember how many years later I was in the mood for a space exploration and saw NMS had an update. I grabbed it for about £8. Since purchasing it seeing constant substantial updates has been amazing. Every time one comes out I think “Ok guys, you’ve redeemed yourselves, you’re allowed to stop now!”

    I like to work on a £1 per hour with my games, I’ve played 85 hours (I know, rookie numbers compared to what some people have) and I’m really pleased with my purchase.

    Seeing the pride they have in their game and the efforts they have gone to to make the game they wanted and the lessons Hello Games have learnt, it leaves me looking forward to Light No Fire.


  • When the API changes came in on Reddit it appeared to cause quite a few people to shift to Lemmy, but not that many. I’ve said this before in other posts but the onboarding experience for Lemmy is awful for your average joe. From what I’ve read it was the same situation for Mastodon and that is why Bluesky took off instead.

    There needs to be a clear concise point of entry for new users to the Fediverse that empowers users to quickly customise what they want to see. Most people don’t care about how the Fediverse works and its benefits, they just want to consume content.

    If I were technically capable and had the drive to do so I’d create a single onboarding site that would ask the user a few preference defining questions, chuck them on an instance that is relevant and apply some filters so they don’t get spammed with anime posts if that isn’t their thing. Oh and maybe show a couple of mobile apps.
