That’s insidious, like matching someone by all their attributes if you can’t track them easier

i won't go into the details too much but i interviewed with them a few years ago and it was clear then that they had no loving idea who they were targeting. worst interview experience i ever had.

I hate when games only have discords and there's no good way to research stuff especially if a game is a few years old

Gamefaqs forum design still the best for this kind of poo poo because the posts stay in chronological order and theres not a million bots telling me I'm using the wrong channel or whatever

Imo, Bluesky can work just like 2019 Twitter but the fact that it’s been invite only is what’s going to kill it.

Threads is clearly undercooked but it works just enough like Twitter and anyone can sign up easily
