  • I’m just going to copy a comment, because it looks like the crosspost didn’t update the edit from the original post…

    Copied comment:

    buyitforlife is a fantastic community, but I’m not sure it fits what I’m talking about because it’s kind of specific to exclusive products that are meant to last. I’m imagining something that’s covers a more broad range of products. Stipulations might include things like:

    -reviews

    -design speculation

    -improvements

    -collaboration

    -development

    -creation

    -also, no sponsored/commercialized products!

    (development and creation are super ambitious, but I’d like to include them just because)

    I’m very analytical about product design, especially when it comes to electronics and technology, and I like to imagine ways that things could work better or be designed better. I just think it would be cool to have a place to discuss things like that. I also feel like it can be difficult to trust reviews that come from one source, so having a federated collection to start building might be a really useful resource



  • I’m thinking generally about electronics, because I like tech stuff, but I don’t see a reason to limit it to just that category. The idea of a federated review system is kind of what I’m getting at, with the posibility of encompassing things like design, collaboration, speculation for ways to improve, (repairability would be a great thing to cover as well, but I’m not extrememly savvy when it comes to repair!)

    I think that a federated library of product reviews/discussions could be a great resource.










  • Positives:

    I’m loving the music so far, really awesome chiptunes, great vibes. I love the fast paced movement and combat, and responsive controls. I’m not sure how much patience I’ll have for the precision platforming, but it feels really well done.

    Suggestions:

    -Default controls for the controller weren’t my favorite. It’s great that customizing them is super easy. I’d suggest these for the defaults: screenshot

    -I noticed that the defaults for ‘scroll right’ and ‘scroll left’ weren’t working with the right stick. I don’t know if this could be because I changed the defaults, but setting up these two controls to the corrosponding d-pad buttons fixed it.
