This motherfucker trying to pull a Momonga

I’m just sitting around playing Shattered Pixel Dungeon and, while id prefer something narrative driven, it’s been giving me the happies for quite a while.

To your last point, imo that is the single biggest hurdle. Initial sign up inherently creates what I like to call menu anxiety. The extra steps and the time involved is contrary to all popular practices. You have to start customizing your experience before you even know what you’re getting into, which is the inverse of how it is done everywhere else.

And then there’s the potential to join an instance that is too small, where existing users haven’t yet subbed to communities that may interest new users. They won’t know they exist (without searching externally) based on the feed. Changing instances isn’t currently intuitive or appealing to regular potential users.

I’m currently okay with how things are. However, mainstream adoption just can’t happen until the devs achieve their goals. I’m a huge fan of their work already. We’re a long way away from 1.0 but I do believe we’ll get there.

I am that guy
