The ACNH credits list the game as having 2 UI Planners, 7 UI Designers, and 11 UI Programmers.
And I hope they're all ashamed of themselves.
How can 20 people create a UX so thoroughly bad?

I used the neural net GPT-2 to generate some April Fools pranks.
conveniently they're all pranks you play on yourself. or possibly solo performance art.

ACNH negative opinions
who’s bright idea was it to add *tool durability*, with the *good* tools lasting 1/4 of the uses required for the materials grind they immediately give you?
ACNH negative opinions
The opening experience of ACNH is awful! objectively!
There are so many unnecessary gates and tedious grind quests before you are able to *actually play the game*. This is crap design, and I hate that kind of stuff.
I’m told that it gets better, but unless you binge hard (which runs into *other* problems with time-gates!), it’s almost a week of forced functionality unlocks and grinding. Maybe then, I can enjoy it?
The leafy video is a pretty nice shot of a detail that's difficult to film - the nearly-invisible wavy ridges that they use to propel themselves, running along their back as well as on their "ears".
Some seadragon videos from last week!
These were taken at the Birch Aquarium at UCSD.
First up, a weedy seadragon doing a twirl

And there’s the announcement: BLFC is postponed to Halloween.
Glad they’re putting out as much advance notice as they can for it.
Goodbye, San Diego! This has been a fantastic trip.

in preparation for a possible coronavirus quarantine I have finished stocking up on supplies and I'm happy to say my apartment is now full of hundreds of live scorpions

at least many of the airlines are making special exemptions for rebooking flights right now, which is usually the worst part of the lock-in.

The GSR emailed their update press release saying everything is fine, and BLFC’s most recent statement a week ago says it’s fine, but I’m really starting to doubt the chances that it’s going to be happening...
I still want to see people, though. I’m pondering setting up a micro-event, just for folks I know who already took time off.
Now that I’ve properly traveled with it, I’m really happy with the Aeropress Go!
Some of the components feel like they could’ve been a touch better designed, but it’s done great overall.
waiting in the airport for my flight to San Diego!
the mood in here is definitely stranger than usual. quieter, too, which is kinda nice.

"Dot Com Boom" Corp Culture Theory [2/2]
Therefore it's in a business' best interest to take on so much debt it nearly sinks them, use it to hire salespeople who then pressure the rest of the company to cut corners to make deadlines faster before the entire thing collapses under the mountain of debt they've taken on.
And people wonder why our product quality is constantly getting worse...
I haven't seen a (100+ person) company that's not run this way since the 90s...

these were real advertisements that a company really wrote and really published to really persuade people and there's the serious societal issues that you can discuss here but also
