Clovis Bray quoted as saying the abuse is exaggerated, quite minor, and necessary for the greater good.

This is an excellent 30 min summary of the ages in the Destiny storyline: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLUaeUCjNKc should newer or (aspiring to start) players like to catch up ahead of Lightfall expansion next month (which will be big enough to be considered a whole new version of Destiny.)

@ddc0660 @InfiniteHench I'm dreading having strand forced upon the character. We'll see how I narrate that in my adventures vs campaign forcing its use for progression.

@ddc0660 @InfiniteHench In the roleplay for my light faithful Hunter I avoid Stasis the best I can. I was forced into it via the Beyond Light campaign but as soon as that was all done I've rarely touched it minus the occasional achievement. 😁

@InfiniteHench I would imagine so.

@svetzal On the flip side of too close: The space between keys below the number row feel too great for touch typing. They seem spaced for two finger hunt and peck typists. Lol

@svetzal Quote of the decade:

"As long as IT organizations remain a cost to produce a feature, reduction of that cost is direct action against the soul of the experience that might have been."

Chef's kiss! ❤️

@svetzal Haha that assumes anyone remembers what worked vs not in the past. Instead it changes continuously with different teams of people who are always starting over.

It's like humanity has no memory of itself nor its past great tools. It keeps burning the house down to make a new one and calls it "progress".

The longer I live through the iteration of software the more I'm amazed at how much islanded improvisation there is.

@svetzal My favourite curses these days are:

-Does nobody test anymore?

-Was there even a Product Owner, or just a feature checklist to complete?

@svetzal I'd say the same about hardware. Like this new keyboard I got by Microsoft. They put the Lock and Settings keys right above the backspace so that any passionate typing (including upset about MS web apps) that sends the pinky too high to correct a mistake, locks the damn login session.

@svetzal I've always judged software by its experience, or even abstracted as its character. What does it feel like to use, how upset or excited does it make you, does it seem to have a sense of itself where there's a predictable back and forth between inputs and responses.

The other night I was swearing up and down at the Microsoft O365 web app for the People section of Outlook lol. It's such hot trash (of an experience).

@GivMeCoffee Bwahaha! The solution to understanding the prism and human diversity is science in both cases. 😆

@svetzal E.g. Time vs speed: the drive from Sudbury to Sault-Sainte-Marie: it's not far in Km but it takes so many hours because of the two lane hwy 17, trucks, and crossing through towns along the way with speed limits of 50 km/h.

The distance is meaningless. It's a long slow painful drive lol.

@svetzal We're equating distance with the experience of its crossing. It's more socially accessible I find vs. a number like Km, including people too young to drive. It might come from not having a car identity, having less access to car ownership, and valuing our time better?

Like who cares if something is 350 or 600km. I want to know if I'll lose half a day or a whole day to it.

Or maybe it's because we're used to slow speed limits, so again time is more important.

How it started, how it's going. 🕹❤️

Collecting a few portable mini arcade devices is a dream come true for my child self who in 1983 or so saw mini LED arcade games in the SEARS Wish Book and went bananas haha.

Hey kid-me, just wait 40 years, k?

@applebaumian I was able to pick up a FiiO X3 some years ago as the classics were disappearing. It's pretty close to the music enjoyment experience of iPod, but specifically designed for high resolution audio!

I love it!

It's been so great playing #SpaceEngineers with friends. We're different people with different priorities.

One of my friends prioritized base-building so make the perfect home.

I however kept things barely above metal-shack level just to focus on ships. I was first to travel between bodies.

Another chose Europa and because of the low mining materials diversity has become a master economist and trader. They bought their ship.

We're cross-teaching other in a fun cultural exchange of sorts.
