A nobody on NOSTR. 🤙

Is it a reading thing? I was an avid reader then just stopped. I noticed when I picked up reading again it came back, kinda didn't realize I had lost it till then.

Got a friend interested in a handheld system. I think I know which one to get him too.

nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z any chance for a more satisfying zap animation? The loading circle is more accurately undoubtedly, but make zapping feel slow. Primal got it right imo, even if payment fails

I'd love it if it was big and obnoxious like some emoji reactions on Google Messages now. That's pretty fun to see.

Oh I get this. I think it depends on the platforms and what they were designed for.

I had an active group on Google Plus before. It was a great site. You could see posts on a profile and see if someone was worth following, share with specific groups of people that you designated in "circles", start and manage communites that's only certain people could share posts to keep things on topic, and you could set up a chat room and video/voice call separately.

When the platform was closing I convinced my pals to try out discord since at the time you didn't need to have an account to try it. No friction. Discord at least had the chat room and video call aspect of we did.

The probablem was now we had this chat room that people started using like their personal post feed and a chat room is not really meant for that. Some would share whatever for the heck of it regardless of whatever conversation was happening. You'd create different rooms to keep things on topic, but then there was one person who would do nothing but those specific types of comments and they would basically "own" the room. Nobody else would want to chat there because soon their topics would disappear after the other person starts sharing their stuff steady.

I'm sure the big thing in this instance was moderation and just straight up telling the user to knock it off, but for me it's also moving everyone from a proper social media site to basically what was a chatroom with voice calls. Some were used to the dynamic they had on a proper social media site and behaved the same way in the chat room.

Kinda like using a wrench as a hammer. It might get the job done, but it's not the right tool for the task, you'd have a better experience with a proper hammer.

This doode might have helped my find my fix!

This looks like what people wanted from Blue Protocol.

You do want privacy, but with groups you do want moderation if you are hosting the group, right? Is that the hard part, privacy & moderation together?

Didn't realize there was some kinda' drama going on with WordPress.

Weren't Mozilla working on their own Fediverse project once upon a time? Maybe they would've been happier hosting a Ditto server.

Gaming break:

I loved Breath of the Wild, but have to admit that I have no attachment to Tears of the Kingdom whatsoever.

The sequel feels like the same game, with all of the same basic functions and enemies, and the entire “building and connecting things” mechanic is terrible, imo. I have zero desire to use it ever, and they have these stupid piles of stuff to build a cart with all over the place like it’s something useful, but it’s so annoying to build them, and then you can’t steer worth crap and it almost never gets you anywhere far enough to justify trying to put it together. It seems completely useless other than there are little quests or puzzles that purposefully add elements where you need it to complete a task… but even that feels forced and arbitrary.

And the “sky world” element just kinda feels like somebody said “man we should do something different this time… what if we had a bunch of floating islands in the sky!” And then that was it. Theres no reason for it. It doesn’t matter to the story. It doesn’t seem attached to anything of consequence or have even a mystery around it to solve… it just… is.

Also, despite trying to start it back up multiple times in my “spare time” (as if I have any of that), and still in this moment I have no idea what the story is. There’s literally no hook, or engrossing question to answer, so every element just feels like something arbitrary that I’m watching without even knowing why any of it matters.

Just really sad considering BoTW felt like a revival of the Zelda franchise, and I think they spent too much time wondering how they could capitalize on it as quick as possible, rather than thinking about how to make another really engaging story & game for the sequel.

Important caveat: had the game and all the mechanics been the same still, but the story had been super engrossing, none of that other stuff would’ve mattered.

Anyway, that’s my 2 sats on why the new Zelda game hasn’t been able to convince me to charge my Nintendo Switch for like 6 months.

Doode! I had the same issue. The first thing I did was grab the towers again cause I didn't want to slowly drip feed myself the same map.

I'll tell you when the game finally "Clicked" with me though. Hopefully this might help you.

It wasn't the sky world, but the underground one that got me. My suggestion is to jump to the Goron City and work the main quest there. That and look for a video guide to get AutoBuild as early as you can afterwards.

The game is great, but the truth is you can only play Breath of the Wild for the first time once. While the new features are great for Sandbox play they feel very extra and bit unnecessary.

I'll give it a download. I've been hearing about that application more and more on Nostr.

Anyone got opinions on https://getsession.org/ ? I don't often hear people bring it up in conversation.

I need to reorganize my computer desk. I thought that having my monitors and keyboard at the center of the L desk would best. It doesn't- feels crampt!
